Hyundai Santa Cruz: Heater / Temperature Control Actuator

- Description The heater unit includes mode control actuator and temperature control actuator.The temperature control actuator is located at the heater unit. It regulates the temperature by the procedure as follows.Signal from control unit adjusts the position of the temperature door by operating the temperature switch. Then the temperature will be regulated by the hot/cold air ratio decided by the position of the temperature door. - Component Location

1. Driver side temperature control actuator
2. Passenger side temperature control actuator

- Inspection

1.Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2.Disconnect the temperature control actuator connector.

3.Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the cool position when connecting 12V to terminal 3 and grounding terminal 4.Verify that the mode control actuator operates to the vent mode when connected in reverse.[Driver]

6.Check the voltage between terminal 5 and 6.

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

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

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

8.Replace the temperature control actuator if it is proved that there is a problem with it.
