Is there engine vacuum? | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 18 |
5 | Take a vacuum reading at the vacuum supply line at the HVAC control solenoid. Is the vacuum reading the same as engine vacuum? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 9 |
6 | Take a vacuum reading at the output side of the HVAC control solenoid, for the non-functioning mode setting. Is there vacuum at the output side of the HVAC control solenoid? | Go to Step 7 | Go to Step 14 |
7 | Disconnect the actuator vacuum line and apply vacuum to the actuator. Did the actuator retract? | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 8 |
8 | With the actuator disconnected, inspect the door for binding. Does the door move freely? | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 16 |
9 | Inspect for leaking or collapsed vacuum lines. Are the vacuum lines leaking? | Go to Step 17 | Go to Step 13 |
10 | Replace the vacuum actuator. Refer to the appropriate procedure: Is the repair complete? | Go to Step 19 | -- |
11 | With the vacuum gage connected to the actuator vacuum line, turn the engine OFF. Does the system lose vacuum after turning OFF the engine? | Go to Step 12 | Go to Step 9 |
