Kia Cee'd JD Service Manual / Heating,Ventilation, Air Conditioning / Heater / Temperature Control Actuator Repair procedures

Inspection

1.	Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2.	Disconnect the temperature control actuator connector.

Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the warm position when connecting 12V to terminal 3 and grounding terminal 4.

Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the cool position when connected in reverse.

1. -
2. -
3. Warm position
4. Sensor ground

5. Feedback Signal
6. Sensor (+5V)
7. Cool position

4.	Connect the temperature control actuator connector.

5.	Turn the ignition switch ON.

Check the voltage between terminal 4 and 5.

Specification

Door position	Voltage (V)	Error detecting
Max. cooling	0.3 ± 0.15V	Low voltage : 0.1V or less
Max. heating	4.7 ± 0.15V	High voltage : 4.9V or more

It will feedback the current position of the actuator to the controls.

7.	If the measured voltage is not specification, substitute with a known-good temperature control actuator and check for proper operation.

8.	If the problem is corrected, replace the temperature control actuator.

Replacement
