id0703c2803400

4
No temperature control with A/C amplifier.
DESCRIPTION
•  Temperature does not change with operating temperature control dial.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Air mix actuator (+5 V signal) system malfunction (Steps 3—7, 10)
•  A/C amplifier (potentiometer GND signal) system malfunction (Steps 8, 9)
•  Air mix actuator (potentiometer input signal) system malfunction (Steps 11—13)
•  Air mix actuator (potentiometer GND signal, motor drive signal) system malfunction (Step 14)
•  Air mix actuator system malfunction (Steps 15, 16)
•  A/C unit air mix door malfunction (Steps 17, 18)

•  When performing an asterisked (*) troubleshooting inspection, shake the wiring harness and connectors while performing the inspection to discover whether poor contact points are the cause of any intermittent malfunctions. If there is a problem, check to make sure connectors, terminals and wiring harnesses are connected correctly and undamaged.
