Mode Valve Actuator Replacement LHD

1. Remove the instrument panel (IP) carrier. Refer to Instrument Panel Carrier Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.

Important: The temperature door motor does not need to be removed in order to remove the mode actuator motor.

The temperature door motor in the graphic is removed in order to show the fastener locations clearly.



2. Remove the mode actuator retaining fasteners (1).
3. Remove the mode actuator.
4. Note the position of the door levers in relation to the cam.

The mode door levers must be in the same position in order to reassemble the mode actuator to the HVAC case.

1. Lubricate the pivots on the mode door levers and the channels on the mode motor cam before reassembling.



2. Align the mode door levers with the cam slots, as noted on disassembly.
3. Install the mode actuator.

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.

4. Install the mode actuator retaining fasteners (1).

Tighten
Tighten the fasteners to 1.4 N·m (12 lb in).

5. Install the IP carrier. Refer to Instrument Panel Carrier Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
6. Recalibrate the actuators. Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Body Controls System.
