Mode motor where can i find the mode motor for the vents

are you trying to get heater working or A/C or just heater + defrost mode ( no whether there told)
well the HVAC is failing
it needs service.
the service manual covers this chapter HVAC.
The vent actuators can fail all these way.
fuses all good.
motor blower does spin fast, does it hear and felt on one of many vents. in recirc mode is best.
if blower is dead , or silent the blower on HIGH (is it)
on high the resistor block is BYPASSed.
the blower resistor block is bad or blower dead.
next mode motors (actuators)
causes aplenty
1: fuses blown. easy 20cent fix. fuse 17?
2: damper shaft jammed. (we hand turn it ,proved)
3: motor on shaft dead bad. (mode dead?)
4: controls to motor dampers bad.


1997
Mode control motor
Recirculation control motor
and blend motor, all; air mixture motor

the control panel as 5 switches for mode.
and 5 wires and 1 ground
we'd test all 5 modes to be sure the motor went to all 5 modes (eyes on motor)
if not, we'd turn pull mode motor make sure the modes an all be tuned by hand.
then if yes a news motor is needed.
the logic for the controller only shows each 5 grounds the line for proper mode.
the LED there can lie due to each mode switch has 2 switches for each mode. 10 total.
if some modes work , the ground is good.g402

There is a blend door and a mode door in the plenum. It is not moving like it should. You need to locate the motor for that door and then change modes and see if the motor moves, or if is the door itself or something sticking in the plenum or the controller.

is the blower motor working. if so then maybe you have a mode selector problem not switching to vent, or a blockage in the vents.

You just THINK the flaps are working, but apparently the top vent is not. These multiple flaps are controlled by vacuum and you have a line off to that particular flap. This means the flap won't open and the vacuum leak, whether you can hear it or not, is making you lose MPG also, though slight. The vacuum line could be cracked or disconnected from the flap or at the vacuum block on the back of the lever unit.

On the motorcraft parts web site, you can blow up
a picture of the HVAC Blend Door Motors & locations,
as well as part numbers

You can get failed motor from Amazon

With knowing where the motors are located, try switching
the air flow modes manually, to see what positions do not work

Then you know what motors to replace

I also have professional scan tool software & can see the codes
for the motors in enhanced data.

The-- Vent Blend Doors-by name

Defrost-up top
Cabin -the vents as you say in the middle & on the sides
Floor
Recirculate-under the glove box
Blend Door -under the dash on your print

as always, check fuses first.
then scan this car, it will show, mode motor errors. huh?

those are damper. in the heater box.
there are 2 fail points (besides wires)
the control is bad,
or the damper is failing.
The FSM covers this 100%
or at alldata.com

what tech does is makes sure the control sends the signal
the damper (there are 3 types used on all cars)
if its damper motor , the FSM shows the damper tests.
which are unique to Toyota. and a spec, year, 2006.
the mode damper is failing.
the only question is why,
the answer is simple tests. detailed in all FSM of all cars made.

here ill look your up to see which of the 3 type class it is.

your car has a ACC brain, a/c controller, this controller runs the show.
it gets your inputs from the defrost switch and then sends signals
to the mode motor.

FSM quote

Air Vent Mode Control Servo Motor ControlWhen the mode select SW is pushed, the ECU in the A/C control assembly activates the air vent mode control servo motor.
The servo motor rotates to the position (FACE, BI-LEVEL, FOOT, FOOT/DEF, DEF) selected by using the mode select SW,
and moves the damper.
In auto mode, A/C control assembly controls the damper to move to the best position for the conditions without operating the
mode select SW.

I SAY SCAN iT
using any scan tool that suports full Toyota. full scans including
extended factory codes..
i say buy one.
here is one.

owning complex cars, and DIY, you need a real scan tool
or just guess.

The large fuse you checked is for the rear fan blower motor. The fuse you need to check is for the fan motor relays and rear mode control motor. It is fuse No. 3 (7.5A) located in the driver's under dash kick panel fuse box.

If fuse No. 3 is blown and you replace the fuse and it blows immediately, you'll have to check the five relays and the mode control motor all located near the rear A/C unit in the right aft sidewall. Most likely, the mode control doors have become jammed and that is why the fuse blows. The doors shift air from overhead vents (cool) to floor vents (heat).

If the fuse is fine, the trouble is probably with the blower motor itself or the wiring to the blower motor is broken, or there is a bad ground.

the motor that opens the vent is stuck. Put in it fresh air mode. the vent should be on the pass side behind the glove box. Take off the glove box and disconnect the motor and replcae it. Or the cheap way is to not use that mode

it not a motor its a module and you have look behind the radio in the dash and find it the dirrection section is not working for the area you dont get air

u have a loss of vacuum to the ac mode control switch, this switch applies vacuum to diff vacuum motors to move air to diff outlets, dash, floor, defrost etc. either the vacuum line or vacuum resivior at the engine is leaking or the mode control is leaking vacuum.
