Removal Procedure
The air temperature actuator is located on the top right hand side of
the heater/vent module.
- Remove the instrument panel carrier. Refer to
Instrument Panel Carrier Replacement
in Instrument Panel, Gauges, and Console.
- Disconnect the electrical
connector (2).
- Remove the air temperature
actuator retaining screws.
- Remove the air temperature actuator from the heater/vent module.
Installation Procedure
- Install the air temperature
actuator to the heater/vent module. Ensure that the actuator is seated on
the locating tab.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Install the air
temperature actuator retaining screws.
Tighten
Tighten to 1.9 N·m (17 lb ft).
- Connect the electrical
connector (2).
- Install the instrument panel carrier. Refer to
Instrument Panel Carrier Replacement
in Instrument Panel, Gauges, and Console.
- Perform the following procedure in order to initialize the air
temperature actuator on vehicles equipped with automatic climate control (C68).
5.1. | Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. |
5.2. | Remove the RDO BATT fuse for 10 seconds. |
5.3. | Reinstall the RDO BATT fuse. |
5.4. | Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. |
5.5. | Ensure that the air temperature actuator cycles through the hot
and cold range. |
- Perform a heater output temperature check. Refer to
Heater Output Temperature Check
