Temperature Control Actuator Components and components location

- Temperature control actuator (LH)
- Temperature control actuator (RH)
Description
Located in the heater unit, the temperature control actuator regulates the temperature in the following procedure.
The signal from the control unit adjusts the position of the temperature door by operating the temperature switch. Then the temperature will be regulated by the hot/cold air ratio decided by the position of the temperature door.
