TEST C: ELECTRONIC BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR DOES NOT OPERATE OR OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY
Check Electronic Blend Door Actuator System
Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. Set A/C-heater system to MAX A/C. Turn temperature knob to full cold position. Check for cool air discharge. Turn temperature knob to full hot position. Check for hot air discharge. Vary temperature knob setting. If temperature changes with knob adjustment, system is operating properly at this time. Check for intermittent condition. If temperature does not change, go to next step.
Check Electronic Blend Door Actuator System Fuse No. 6 (15-Amp)
Check fuse No. 6 (15-amp) in instrument panel (I/P) fuse panel. If fuse is okay, go to next step. If not, replace fuse and repeat step 1) again. If fuse is blown, repair short to ground in Orange wire or Light Blue/Black wire. Retest system.
Check Electronic Blend Door Supply Voltage
Detach blend door actuator connector. With voltmeter, check for battery voltage between Light Blue/Black wire connector pin and Black wire connector pin. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, repair open or short condition in Light Blue/Black wire and/or Black wire. Retest system.
NOTE:A quick check of blend door actuator can be done by connecting a replacement actuator and jumper harness to connector. Operate system and watch for proper blend door actuator operation.
