Question

Tech A says that some electric actuators are positioned by an A/C ECU which checks the air flow with sensors. Tech B says that electric actuators are positioned by an A/C ECU and some actuators have a potentiometer to tell the A/C ECU the position of the door. Who is correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tech B

Explanation:

The control of electric actuators may be through through a two-wire or a five-wire circuit through the driver circuit by bidirectionally controlling via the motor wire polarity. The door position is determined by counting the actuator commutator pulses by the control module in the actuator with 2-wire, while the actuator with 5-wire uses potentiometer feedback.

The A/C ECU is the Air Condition Engine Control Unit.
