Kia Niro 2017 (DE HEV) Service Manual / Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning / Heater / Temperature Control Actuator Repair procedures

Inspection

1.	Switch "OFF" the ignition.

2.	Disconnect the temperature control actuator connector.

Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the cool position when connecting 12V to terminal 3 and grounding terminal 7.

Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the warm position when connected in reverse.

4.	Connect the temperature control actuator connector.

5.	Switch "ON" the ignition.

Check the voltage between terminals 5 and 6.

Specification

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