  1. Remove air flow control actuator (1) referring to AIR FLOW CONTROL ACTUATOR REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
  2. Check resistance between "d" and "e" terminals.

    Air flow control actuator resistance 

    DEF position: Approx. 700 Ω 

    FOOT / BENT position: Approx. 1.7 kΩ 

    FOOT position: Approx. 2.4 kΩ 

    BI-LEVEL position: Approx. 3.9 kΩ 

    VENT position: Approx. 5.1 kΩ 

  3. Connect battery positive (+) terminal to terminal "a" and battery negative (-) terminal to terminal "b". Check if position of air flow control actuator changes VENT position to DEF position.
  4. Connect battery positive (+) terminal to terminal "b" and battery positive (-) terminal to terminal "a". Check if position of air flow control actuator changes DEF position to VENT position.

    If malfunction is found, replace air flow control actuator with new one.
