2006 GS430 Climate control problems
Just bought this car couple months ago for my wife as a commuter car. The other morning on her way she said the heater wouldn't get warm. Couple other things I found not working is the Mode will only blow from the dash vents and will not switch to feet or win. defrost. I also think the recirculate and outside air function doesn't work. The a/c blows cold and fan speed operate just fine.
I had some free time and checked all the fuses, everything checked out ok. I did some searching and I think may need to replace some servos. I found the parts and I see the car has 5 different servos but doesn't say what servo does what. If someone can point me in the right direction on what parts I need , that would be much appreciated.

So reading further on old posts, it looks like the issue could be related to servos... anyone has any more specifics suggestions? Would love some more details before I take it into the dealership.

Read this thread. Different Gen but I am guessing similar design.

be prepared to get raped at the dealer. I would remove glove compartment and visually see if servos are working correctly

I had it fixed shortly after the OP. I had a friend scan it and came back that the ac/heater control module/amplifier was not operating correctly. I replaced it with a used one off eBay and haven't had problem since.
The part cost me $80 shipped and took 5 minutes to install. It's the red box located under the glovebox.
