WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki XL-7 and 2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove temperature control actuator. See Removal .
- Check resistance between terminals.
Temperature control actuator resistance
- Terminal "d" and "e" (max cold position): Approx. 150 - 250 ohms
- Terminal "c" and "d" (max cold position): Approx. 2.6k ohm
- Terminal "d" and "e" (max hot position): Approx. 2.6 k ohm
- Terminal "c" and "d" (max hot position): Approx. 150 - 250 ohms
- Connect battery positive (+) terminal to terminal "b" and battery negative (-) terminal to terminal "a". Check if position of temperature control actuator changes COLD to HOT.
- Connect battery positive (+) terminal to terminal "a" and battery positive (-) terminal to terminal "b". Check if position of temperature control actuator changes HOT to COLD.
If malfunction is found, replace temperature control actuator with new one.
