DTC TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

Step Action YES NO
Position sensor power supply circuit check 
  1. Disconnect air intake control actuator connector with ignition switch turned OFF.
  2. Check for proper connection to air intake control actuator at "RED/WHT", "WHT/GRN" and "BLK/RED" wire terminals.
  3. If OK, measure voltage between "RED/WHT" wire terminal of air flow control actuator connector and vehicle body ground with ignition switch turned ON.

Is voltage 4 - 6 V? 
Go to Step 6. Go to Step 2.
Position sensor power supply circuit check 
  1. Disconnect temperature control actuator connector with ignition switch turned OFF.
  2. Measure voltage between "RED/WHT" wire terminal of air intake control actuator connector and vehicle body ground with ignition switch turned ON.

Is voltage 4 - 6 V? 
Temperature control actuator faulty. Go to Step 3.
Position sensor power supply circuit check 
  1. Disconnect air flow control actuator connector with ignition switch turned OFF.
  2. Measure voltage between "RED/WHT" wire terminal of air intake control actuator connector and vehicle body ground with ignition switch turned ON.

Is voltage 4 - 6 V? 
Air flow control actuator faulty. Go to Step 4.
Position sensor power supply circuit check 
  1. Disconnect connector from HVAC control module with ignition switch turned OFF.
  2. Check for proper connection to HVAC control module connector at "G52-14", "G52-22" and "G52-13" terminals.
  3. If OK, measure resistance between "RED/WHT" wire terminal of air intake control actuator connector and "G52-14" terminal of HVAC control module connector.

Is resistance below 5 Ω? 
Go to Step 5. "RED/WHT" wire open or high resistance circuit.
Position sensor power supply circuit check

11  Position sensor ground circuit check 
  1. Connect HVAC control module connector with ignition switch turned OFF.
  2. Measure resistance between "BLK/RED" wire terminal of air intake control actuator connector and vehicle body ground.

Is resistance below 5 Ω? 
Go to Step 12. Go to Step 13.
12  Position sensor ground circuit check 
  1. Measure resistance between "G52-13" terminal of HVAC control module connector and vehicle body ground.

Is resistance below 5 Ω? 
"BLK/RED" wire open or high resistance circuit. HVAC control module faulty.
13  Air intake control actuator check 
  1. Check air intake control actuator referring to AIR INTAKE CONTROL ACTUATOR INSPECTION .

Is it in good condition?
