Subaru Legacy BN/BS (2015-2019) Service Manual / Hvac system (heater ventilator and a c) / Mode door actuator / Inspection

1. ACTUATOR LINK

1. Visually check the operating range of the link, and remove the foreign matter if any.

2. Operate the mode change switch, and check that the link operates normally.

3. If it does not operate normally as the result of inspection, perform a unit inspection of motor - actuator mode.

2. CHECK ACTUATOR OPERATION

1. Check the actuator operation when battery voltage is applied between the connector terminals.

CAUTION:

Disconnect the battery immediately after the actuator stops operation. Otherwise, the motor may be damaged.

Terminal No.	Inspection conditions	Operating position
4 (+) — 5 (−)	Apply battery voltage.	DEF
5 (+) — 4 (−)	Apply battery voltage.	FACE

2. Measure the resistance between connector terminals.

Preparation tool:

Circuit tester

Terminal No.	Inspection conditions	Operating position
1 — 3	Always	4.2 — 7.8 -

3. Connect the connector, turn the ignition switch to ON, and check the voltage between actuator terminals.

Terminal No.	Inspection conditions	Operating position
2 (+) — 1 (−)	FACE	Approx. 4 V
