DTC 31, 41 Air Mix Damper Position Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
(V) This sensor detects the position of the air inlet damper and
TPI terminal voltage
4 sends the appropriate signals to the A/C control assembly. The
position sensor is built into the air inlet control servomotor.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check voltage between terminals TP and SG of A/C control assembly connector.
PREPARATION:
ON
(a) Remove A/C control assembly with connectors still con-
nected (See page AC-84 ).
(b) Turn ignition switch to ON.
CHECK:
Change the set temperature to activate the air mix damper, and
measure the voltage between terminals TP and SG of A/C con-
SG(-) TP(+) trol assembly connector each time when the set temperature is
changed.
OK:
Set Temperature Voltage
Max. cool 3.5 - 4.5 V
BE3840
Max. hot 0.5 - 1.8 V
I00329 I00337
HINT:
As the set temperature increases, the voltage decreases grad-
ually without interruption.
NG Go to step 2.
OK
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on problem symptoms table (See page DI-586 ). Howev-
er, if DTC 31 or 41 is displayed, check and replace A/C control assembly.

2 Check air mix damper position sensor.
PREPARATION:
Max. Cool
Remove air mix control servomotor (See page AC-34 ).
CHECK:
Measure resistance between terminals 4 and 5 of air inlet con-
Max. Hot trol servomotor connector.
OK:
Resistance: 4.8 - 7.2 k
CHECK:
While operating air mix control servomotor as shown in the pro-
cedure on page DI-612 , measure resistance between termi-
4 nals 3 and 5 of air mix control servomotor connector.
OK:
Position Resistance
Max. cool 3.8 - 5.8 k
Max. hot 0.95 - 1.45 k
5
HINT:
3
As the air inlet control servomotor moves from cool side to hot
side, the resistance decreases gradually without interruption.

NG Replace air mix control servomotor.
OK
3 Check harness and connector between A/C control assembly and air mix control
servomotor. (See page IN-28 ).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK
Check and replace A/C control assembly.
