Kia Rio: Temperature Control Actuator Inspection

1.	Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2.	Disconnect the temperature control actuator connector.

Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the warm position when connecting 12V to terminal 3 and grounding terminal 4.

Verify that the temperature control actuator operates to the cool position when connecting in the reverse.
