How is the door position determined in a Chevy Impala?
How is the door position determined in a Chevy Impala?
The HVAC control module determines the door position by counting motor pulses on one of the control circuits. These pulses are small voltage fluctuations that occur when the brush is shorted across 2 commutator contacts as the motor rotates.
How does the HVAC control module work on a Chevy Impala?
As the actuator shaft rotates, the HVAC control module monitors the voltage drop across an internal resistance to detect the pulses. The HVAC control module converts the pulses to counts with a range of 0-255 counts. The HVAC control module uses a range of 0-255 counts to index the actuator position. Thank You.
What is the actuator on the front of the Chevy Impala?
The HVAC control module controls the air intake through the recirculation actuator. Recirculation is not available when the mode is in heater through Defrost. The operator must activate the blower for Recirculation operation. The air temperature actuator is a 2-wire bi-directional electric motor. Two control circuits enable the actuator to operate.
What is the mode switch on a Chevy Impala?
The HVAC control module controls the mode actuator in order to distribute airflow to a desired outlet. The mode switch provides the vehicle operator with the ability to override the automatic setting.
Where does the clicking sound come from in my Impala?
There is a clicking sound coming from behind the right passenger side of the dash. It also sounds like a tapping noise. When I turn the defroster knob it stops, then starts again.
What kind of gearbox is in a Ford Impala?
Aftermarket gearboxes are generally made from Chinese POM and ours are made from genuine Dupont Delrin 100P and are molded in California. Our ford kit has well over 1000 in service without a single failure.
What is the code for a 2003 Chevy Silverado?
This 2003 Chevrolet Silverado came in with the air flow stuck on defrost. A simple diagnosis of a code B0263 found a faulty mode actuator. This repair applies to 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban and Tahoe.
How does the air temperature actuator work on a Chevy Impala?
The operator must activate the blower for Recirculation operation. The air temperature actuator is a 2-wire bi-directional electric motor. Two control circuits enable the actuator to operate. The control circuits use either a 0-volt or 12-volt value to coordinate the actuator movement.
Why does my Impala make a clicking noise when I open the door?
Look under the dash for all your grounds to the BCM and make sure they are tight, also for all your connections on the passenger side. IF all grounds are good. When your hearing this clicking open the fuse box and check the RAP fuse (AKA Relay). If sound is coming from that I would try replacing it if all the wiring is clean and test to be good.
Why is there no heat on the driver’s side?
This 2004 Chevrolet Impala came in with the complaint that there was no heat on the driver’s side of the car. It could very well have been the reverse, no a/c on the driver side as the problem turned out to be a faulty driver’s side blend air door actuator assembly.

What does the a / C compressor do on a Chevy Impala?
The A/C compressor will follow user request if the blower is ON and the power mode is in Run. The HVAC control module controls the air intake through the recirculation actuator. Recirculation is not available when the mode is in heater through Defrost.
