Scheme 46

Scheme 46: Air Mix Wire
  1. Set the temperature control dial at middle position (MAX HOT-MAX COLD). CAUTION: If the air mix wire is set without first fixing the air mix link position, it is possible that the air mix door cannot be switched normally.
  2. Install the wire clamp as it was originally installed.
  3. Connect the air mix wire to air mix link.
  4. Clamp the air mix wire to wire clamp.
  5. Verify that the temperature control dial can move its full stroke.

Scheme 47

Scheme 47: Airflow Mode Wire
  1. Set the airflow mode selector dial at defroster. CAUTION: If the airflow mode wire is set without first fixing the airflow mode main link position, it is possible that the airflow mode door cannot be switched normally.
  2. Install the wire clamp as it was originally installed.
  3. Connect the airflow mode wire to airflow mode main link.
  4. Clamp the airflow mode wire to wire clamp.
  5. Verify that the airflow mode selector dial can move its full stroke.

  1. Remove the climate control unit.
  2. Verify that the continuity between the fan switch terminals is as indicated in the table. If there is any malfunction, replace the fan switch.
