Important:: HVAC control module connector must be connected to correctly perform this test.

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Measure the voltage from the air temperature door position signal circuit of the air temperature actuator to a good ground.
3. Place the air temperature switch from Cold to Hot.

Does the voltage measure within the specified values with a smooth transition between Cold and Hot?

12 V at Cold 0 V at Hot
