control actuator 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. 

INSPECTION 

1. Ignition "OFF"  

2. Disconnect the connector of mode control actuator.  

3. Verify that the mode control actuator operates to the defrost mode when connecting 12V to the terminal 3 

and grounding terminal 4.
