Excellent work, great wright up, tried the diagnostic test just then, worked perfectly, all that was my problem also was the little plug that goes onto the actuator motor, was a bit sticky, gave it a wriggle pushed on the wires and presto, hot and cold air, all through the settings. the heater would get warmer im assuming if the engine was hotter, i was warm but not toasting haha. 32 degs.

thanks heaps guys +1

Mine is stuck on hot. :cool:

I tried wriggling the wires and such while going through the hot and cold temperatures, but the arm still doesn't move. Do you reckon it will just need replacing instead of a quick fix?

Have you got the rest of the self-diagnosis? I did step 2 and got a 22 and a 25. Do you know what this means?

Cheers

This was exactly what I was looking for :D. Last week my system stopped blowing heat despite turning the temp all the way up. Being November, yeah a lil chilly here in Canada haha. Hopefully this will help solve my issue but I do have a couple of questions.

1. I removed my a/c system so will that effect the microcomputer's self testing at all?

2. Is it possible to manually push the servo motor to the full hot position?

Thanks so much and I'll let ya know what happens.

Cheers :)

dassvass, make sure the car is in direct light or use a 60w light globe over the sunload sensor to see if that cures your error code 25. If you are in a carport or garage that will usually give the error.

Error code 22 is the interior air temp sensor. It is mounted on the surround that goes around the center console on the dash. Usually it means it's unplugged which happens if you have been in there for something else.

I've attached the relevant pages from my service manual. Hope that helps.

Thanks a heap jonn. I noticed it unplugged when I pulled the surround out, but I didn't realise it was a sensor.

Too late for my servo though, opened it up to check the soldering and the cogs came lose inside. How much do they cost to buy second hand?

Just a quick word on how it went for me, yep it's all about jiggling the harness baby haha. Servo is back working perfectly, no fault codes came up at all once I did that and ran a check.

SUPER thread and 100% helpful that's for sure. Hopefully a Mod will 'Sticky' this as it will come in handy.

Cheers all.

I have a strange one, dont know if this is related or not..

My aircon is normally very cold, so cold you normally have to turn it off.

Other day I noticed it suddenly just started blowing regular temp air.. then after about 20 min of driving I got my cold air back.

Parked the car up, got back in and air was cold.. then went to normal air about 10 min later... then within 5 minutes it went back to cold again

and has been fine since...

Just had a look at the blend door server motor since my aircon isn't cold but the rod is all the way in. When I crank the heat up to 32 the motor doesn't move out but when I pull the rod out manually it blows really hot air. So even though the motor doesn't move it's not the cause of not blowing cool air, I think it's low on gas. I tried to wriggle the wiring loom around when i have it cranked on heating and the server motor still doesn't move.

How do you do the diagnostic test on the a/c?

View the first photos in the original post. Its all explained there.

Sounds like the blend door servo motor connections are gone. You will need to pull it out. Its behind the headunit and climate control on the back wall. You will need to pull everything out to get to it haha.

Then you will need to unscrew it, pull out the little black box. Crack it open and re-solder the connector joints.

By the way what is the little fan on the outside of the radiator? Is that the condensor fan and when should that be running? Should it be running when the a/c is on or is that a aux fan for back up?

Easiest way I found to remove the module was to pull the radio bracket with the ac/heater controls out as well, and work through the hole. After you release the rod all the screws are on the top or sides of the unit, none underneath. Unclip the harness from the little jumper cable that is mounted on the top of the module, don't unclip the connection underneath until you have it out.

Jeez I feel stupid but I can't seem to work out how to unclip the road from the servo. Tried unscrewing it but it didn't seem to work and then looked over the white plastic arm to find something to unlatch but can't see anything. What's the secret? :)

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
