COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


This code is set when the air mixing damper control motor potentiometer does not send any signal to the A/C-ECU due to short or open circuit.

PROBABLE CAUSE



  • Malfunction of the front air mixing damper control motor and potentiometer
  • Damaged wiring harness or connectors
  • Malfunction of the semi automatic air conditioner control panel (A/C-ECU)

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list


Check that the following service data display contents are normal (Refer to ).

  • Item 22: Air mixing damper potentiometer
  • Item 32: Air mixing potentiometer (Target)

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Connector check: B-113 A/C-ECU connector and B-12 air mixing damper control motor and potentiometer connector






Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.

Repair the connector.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between B-113 A/C-ECU connector (terminals 13, 15 and 12) and B-12 air mixing damper control motor and potentiometer connector (terminals 4, 3 and 5) <LHD> or (terminals 5,3 and 4) <RHD>.







  • Check the potentiometer power supply, earth and signal line for open and short circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?
