CABLE-TEMPERATURE CONTROL
REMOVAL
WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.

1. Position the temperature control cable (2) to the left side of the HVAC air distribution housing (3) through the opening in the instrument panel support.
2. Connect the temperature control cable to the blend door pivot lever (4).
3. Engage the metal retaining clip (1) to the left side of the air distribution housing. Make sure the retaining clip is fully engaged to the housing.
4. Connect the temperature door control cable to the A/C-heater control and install the instrument panel center bezel (refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/BEZEL-CENTER - INSTALLATION).
5. Visually verify that the blend door pivot lever moves from the full hot position to the full cold position and then back to the full hot position using the temperature control knob on the A/C-heater control. If OK, go to step 10. If not OK, proceed to step 6.
CAUTION: Failure to adjust the temperature control cable can result in full heating or cooling capabilities not being obtained.
6. Disengage the temperature control cable from the metal retaining clip located on the left side of the HVAC housing.
7. Turn the temperature control knob on the A/C-heater control to the full hot position.
8. Reach behind the instrument panel and move the blend door pivot lever forward until it stops in the full hot position and engage the temperature control cable to the metal retaining clip. Make sure the lever is in the full hot position and that the cable is fully engaged to the retaining clip.
9. Verify that the blend door pivot lever moves from the full hot position to the full cold position and then back to the full hot position, as selected with the temperature control knob on the A/C-heater control. If not, repeat steps 6 thru 9.
10. On RHD models, install the glove box bin (refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/BIN-GLOVE BOX - INSTALLATION).
11. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
