Inspect the mode door and the mode actuator for the following conditions:

    • A misaligned mode actuator--Refer to Mode Actuator Replacement .
        
    • Broken or binding linkages
    • A broken or binding mode door
    • An obstruction that prevents the mode door from operating within its full range of motion
    • Missing seals to the mode door
    • Misaligned seals to the mode door
