Kia Sportage: Temperature Control Actuator: Repair procedures

Kia Sportage Service & Repair Manual (3rd Generation, SL; 2011-2016) / Heating,Ventilation, Air Conditioning / Heater / Temperature Control Actuator: Repair procedures

Inspection

1.	Ignition "OFF"

2.	Disconnect the connector of temperature control actuator.

Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the hot position when connecting 12V to the terminal 3 and grounding terminal 4.

Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the cool position when connecting in the reverse.

[Drive]

1. -
2. -
3. Hot position
4. Cool position

5. Sensor ground
6. Feedback signal
7. 5V (Vcc)

Check the voltage between terminals 5 and 6(Drive).

Specification

Door position	Voltage(5-6)	Error detecting
Max. cooling	0.4 ± 0.15V	Low voltage : 0.1V or less
Max. heating	4.6 ± 0.15V	High voltage : 4.9V or more

[Passenger]

3. Cool position
4. Hot position

5. 5V (Vcc)
6. Feedback signal
7. Sensor ground

Check the voltage between terminals 6 and 7(Passenger).

Specification

Door position	Voltage(6-7)	Error detecting
Max. cooling	0.4 ± 0.15V	Low voltage : 0.1V or less
Max. heating	4.6 ± 0.15V	High voltage : 4.9V or more

It will feedback current position of actuator to controls.

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

7.	If the problem is corrected, replace the temperature control actuator.

Replacement

1.	Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

2.	Remove the left extension cover (A).

3.	Remove the left shower duct (A).

4.	Disconnect the temperature control actuator connector (A).

5.	Loosen the mounting screw and then remove the temperature control actuator (B).

6.	Remove the right extension cover (A).

7.	Remove the main crash pad. (Refer to BD group - "Crash Pad")

8.	Remove the right shower duct (A).

9.	Disconnect the temperature control actuator connector (A).

10.	Loosen the mounting screw and then remove the temperature control actuator (B).

11.	Installation is the reverse order of removal.
