HVAC Temperature Door Inoperative (Figure 12-121)
Step

Yes
No
1
With the ignition switch in the run position, oper-
ate temperature control dial and observe the
motor. Does door move?
Condition is inter-
mittent.
Go to step 2.
2
Remove the temperature blend door motor from
the side of the HVAC case. With the ignition
switch in the run position, operate the temperature
control dial and observe the motor. Is the motor
turning?
Mechanical prob-
lem in the HVAC
case.
Go to step 4.
3
Disconnect electrical connector from the temper-
ature blend door motor. Using a DVOM, set to
measure voltage, and using J–35616-92 test
adapters, probe the dark green wire (CKT 399)
with the positive lead and the black wire (CKT
58) with the negative lead. Turn the ignition
switch to the run position. Is voltage present?
+12v
Go to step 6.
Go to step 4.
4
With ignition on, using a DVOM, set to measure
voltage and using J–35616-92 test adapters probe
the dark green wire (CKT 399) with the positive
lead. Place the negative lead on a known good
ground. Is voltage present?
+12v
Go to step 5.
Repair open or
short to ground
between tempera-
ture blend door
motor and fuse 7C.
5
With the ignition off, and using a DVOM, set to
measure ohms, check for resistance between the
black wire (CKT 58) of the temperature blend
door, and a good ground. Does resistance exceed
specifications?
<.2
1
Locate open or bad
connection between
temperature blend
door motor and G4.
Go to step 6.
6
Using a DVOM, set to read volts, the ignition
switch on the run position, and using J–35616-92
test adapters, probe the light blue wire (CKT 402)
with the positive lead, and the black wire (CKT
58) with the negative lead. Rotate temperature
control dial on the HVAC control head from cold
to hot and back. Is voltage present at the cold set-
ting and 0v on the hot setting?
Cold = +12v
Hot = 0v
Cold = +12v
Replace the temper-
ature blend door
motor.
Go to step 7.
7
Disconnect the 8 wire connector at the HVAC
control head. Using a DVOM, set to measure
ohms, check resistance between the light blue
(CKT 402) of the 8 wire connector, and the light-
blue wire (CKT 402) of the temperature blend
door connector. Does resistance exceed specifica-
tions?

Go to step 9.
Go to step 8.
8
Check for open or bad connection between the
HVAC control head 8 wire connection and the
temperature blend door motor connection. Check
for loose terminals at the control head. Was a bad
connection found?
Repair or replace
harness as neces-
sary.
Go to step 9.
