With Electronic Climate Control
Recirculation Control Motor Circuit Troubleshooting1. Check the No.3 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
Is the fuses OK?
YES - Go to step 2.
NO - Replace the fuse, and recheck.
2. Disconnect the recirculation control motor 7P connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
4. Measure the voltage between the No.1 terminal of the recirculation control motor 7P connector and body ground.
Is there battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 5.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the recirculation control motor and the No.3 fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Test the recirculation control motor. Is the recirculation control motor OK?
YES - Go to step 7.
NO - Go to step 11.
7. Disconnect the climate control unit 20P connector.
8. Check for continuity between the No.3 and No.4 terminals of the climate control unit 20P connector and body ground individually.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair any short to body ground in the wire(s) between the climate control unit and the recirculation control motor.
NO - Go to step 9.
9. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check the same wires for voltage.
Is there any voltage?
YES - Repair any short to power in the wire(s) between the climate control unit and the recirculation control motor. This short also damages the climate control unit. Repair the short to power before replacing the climate control unit.
NO - Go to step 10.
10. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and check for continuity between the following terminals of the climate control unit 20P connector and the recirculation control motor 7P connector.
Is there continuity?
YES - Check for loose wires or poor connections at the climate control unit 20P connector and at recirculation control motor 7P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good climate control unit, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original climate control unit.
NO - Repair any open in the wire(s) between the climate control unit and the recirculation control motor.
11. Remove the recirculation control motor.
12. Check the recirculation control linkage and doors for smooth movement.
Do the recirculation control linkage and doors move smoothly?
YES - Replace the recirculation control motor.
NO - Repair the recirculation control linkage or doors.
