id070300802400

3

No temperature control with climate control unit.

DESCRIPTION

• Temperature does not change with operating temperature control dial.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Air mix actuator (+5 V signal) system malfunction
• climate control unit (potentiometer GND signal) system malfunction
• Air mix actuator (potentiometer input signal) system malfunction
• Air mix actuator (potentiometer GND signal, motor drive signal) system malfunction
• Air mix actuator system malfunction
• Heater unit air mix door malfunction

• 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.
