NO  

Substitute with a known-good actuator and check for proper operation. 

If the problem is corrected, replace actuator and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE 
REPAIR" procedure. 

3. Check A/C Control Unit. 

1. Engine "ON"  

2. Connect A/C Control Unit.  

3. Measure voltage between terminal "10" and "13" of A/C Control Unit while operating the temp, 

switch. 

Specification :Approx. 12V

4. Is the measured voltage within specifications? 

YES  

Check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, 
or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE 
REPAIR" procedure. 

NO  

Substitute with a known-good A/C Control Unit and check for proper operation. 

If the problem is corrected, replace A/C Control Unit and then go to "VERIFICATION OF 
VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure. 

VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR 

After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected. 

1. Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)" mode and then clear DTC.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The mode control actuator mounted on heater unit, adjusts position of mode door by operating Direction Motor 
based on signal of A/C control unit. Pressing mode select switch makes the mode control actuator shift in order 
of vent --> B/L --> floor --> mix. 

DTC DESCRIPTION 

The A/C controller sets DTC B2416 if the direction motor doesn't move to intended position within 40 sec (In 
this case, A/C controller try to move mode door for 2 sec. 3 times, every 20 sec. before setting DTC).

4. Are the DTC B2416 present and is parameter of "Passenger DIRECTION POTENTIO." fixed? 

There is any fault in Passenger Direction Motor. If the parameter of "Passenger DIRECTION 
POTENTIO." is 10% or less on "VENT" mode, or If the parameter is 90% or more on "DEF" mode. 

YES  

Go to TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION procedure. 

NO  

Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or A/C controller's connector or was 
repaired and A/C controller memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor 
connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary 
and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure. 

TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION 

1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. 

Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical 
damage. 

2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, 

deterioration, or damage.  

3. Has a problem been found? 

YES  

Repair as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR" procedure. 

NO  

Go to "SIGNAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION" procedure. 

SIGNAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION 

1. Check for open in harness. 

1. Ignition "OFF"  

2. Disconnect Passenger mode Actuator.  

3. Measure resistance between terminal "3, 4" of Passenger Direction Motor and terminal "15, 16" of 

A/C control unit.
