Airflow Mode Actuator Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Connect battery positive voltage to airflow mode actuator terminal F (or G), and ground to terminal G (or F), and then verify that the airflow mode actuator operates as shown in Fig 1.
- If the operation condition is not normal, replace the airflow mode actuator.
