Where is the recirculation door on a car?
The recirculation door (passenger side under the dash behind the glove compartment and on the left side of the HVAC air inlet housing) allows outside air to flow into the passenger compartment, through the HVAC ducts/vents, or closes the inlet so the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated.
How long does it take to calibrate air door actuators?
The entire process takes approximately 90 seconds. Upon completion, all air-door actuators should return to the position that the system is currently requesting. To run the Actuator Calibration manually, you’re in luck if you have the MTC (manual temp control) versus the ATC (automatic temp control).
What happens to the temperature in the car when the AC is not working?
The temperature in the car can rise 20 degrees in just 10 minutes on a hot day. The windows open will definitely ameliorate this problem somewhat when your AC doesn’t work, but you know that on truly hot days that just barely takes the edge off.
What’s the difference between the driver and passenger side of the door?
Drivers side blows very warm and weaker then the passenger side, which blows correctly to the temp its set on and harder. The driver side will not adjust with the temp control no matter what setting its on, while the passenger side works perfect.

Do you need to calibrate auto temperature control when replacing actuator?
That’s why the service manual says there is no calibration needed when you replace an actuator. The OP should possibly have the tech look over the heater core really close if they take everything apart to repair the “blend door”. It would suck to fix the door only to have the heater core leak a short time later.
How to calibrate an ATC door actuator?
The HVAC menus include a actuator calibration function that is run after repairs are made to any of the HVAC doors, linkage, door actuators, or door actuator circuits. This is required to calibrate ATC (automatic temp control) systems. 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Turn the blower control to off. 3.
