• If the linkage or door sticks or binds, repair them as needed.
• If the mode control motor runs smoothly, go to step 4.
4. Measure the resistance between terminals No. 5 and No. 7 of the mode control motor. It should be between 4.2 and 7.8 kO.
5. Reconnect the mode control motor 7P connector, then turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Using the backprobe set, measure the voltage between terminals No. 3 and No. 7 of the 7P connector.
Vent: About 0.5 V
Defrost: About 4.5 V
7. If either the resistance or the voltage readings are not as specified, replace the mode control motor (see page 21-62).
