Temperature Actuator Replacement LH

Removal Procedure
  1. Remove the left instrument panel insulator. Refer to Instrument Panel Insulator Panel Replacement - Left Side in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
  2. Remove the knee bolster. Refer to Knee Bolster Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.

    3. Object Number: 295297 Size: SH
  3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the temperature actuator.
  4. Remove the HVAC Con (HVAC Control) MiniFuse #27 from the IP electrical center.
  5. Remove the mounting bolts from the temperature actuator.

    6. Object Number: 295301 Size: SH
  6. Remove the temperature actuator.

Installation Procedure

    Object Number: 295301 Size: SH
  1. Position the temperature actuator, then align the slots in the electric actuator driver to the flats on the temperature valve shaft.
  2. Slide the electric actuator driver onto the shaft, while aligning the actuator locating hole to the forward alignment pin on the HVAC module case. The actuator driver should completely seat onto the temperature valve shaft and the mounting holes should be flush with the mounting bosses on the HVAC module case.

    3. 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.

  3. Install the mounting bolts to the temperature actuator.

    4. Tighten
    Tighten the temperature actuator bolts to 1.5 N·m (13 lb in).


    Object Number: 295297 Size: SH
  4. Connect the electrical connector to the temperature valve electric actuator.
  5. Install the knee bolster. Refer to Knee Bolster Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
  6. Install the left instrument panel insulator. Refer to Instrument Panel Insulator Panel Replacement - Left Side in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
  7. Install the HVAC Con (HVAC Control) MiniFuse #27 from the IP electrical center.
