Default Can not change where the air blows!

Hey everyone,
I am new to here but had no where to turn. I can not change the selector on the heater in my '02 Accord.
Heat blows well it just won't change from face/floor combo. I have read some thread that give directions on checking errors and such but I do not understand them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance..

I thought that I posted all of the setups. Can you take a picture and post your HVAC/radio controls on here?

6th generation Accords (1998-2002) have slightly different HVAC self-diagnostic trouble code retrieval procedures compared to 7th generation (2003-2007).

Running the Self-diagnosis Function (See image)
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Turn the fan switch OFF, and the recirculation control switch to Recirculate (recirculation indicator comes on).
3. Press and hold the recirculation control switch to Fresh (recirculation indicator goes off). Continue to hold the switch until the recirculation indicator comes on for 2 seconds, then it will blink the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to indicate a faulty component.

Recirculation Indicator Blinks
1_____________A problem in the air mix control motor circuit
2_____________A problem in the mode control motor circuit
3 (With A/C)__ A problem in the evaporator temperature sensor circuit

In case of multiple problems, the recirculation indicator will indicate only the DTC with the least number of blinks.

Resetting the Self-diagnosis Function
Turn the ignition switch OFF to cancel the self-diagnosis function. After completing repair work, run the self-diagnosis function again to make sure that there are no other malfunctions.

Sounds like an issue with the mode control motor circuit even before knowing the trouble code.

Just did the diagnosis, and the result is two blinks so its the mode control motor circuit. Any schematics or solutions?
