1. Air Recirculation Malfunction

 

Circuit/System Description

The desired position of the recirculation flap can be set with the recirculation switch at the HVAC control. The selected value is sent to the HVAC control module via the LIN-Bus. The HVAC control module supplies a 12 V reference voltage to the stepper motor and energizes the 4 stepper motor coils with a pulsed ground signal. The stepper motor moves the recirculation flap into the selected position.

Diagnostic Aids

Check the following mechanical fault sources:

•  Air distribution box
•  Air distribution hoses/air distribution ducts

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition ON, press and release the defrost switch. Verify the scan tool Enhanced Defrost Switch parameter changes between Active and Inactive.
    ⇒  If the parameter does not change

Replace the A26 HVAC Controls.     ⇓  If the parameter changes

2. Press and release the recirculation switch. Verify the scan tool Air Recirculation Mode Switch parameter changes between Active and Inactive.
    ⇒  If the parameter does not change

Replace the A26 HVAC Controls.     ⇓  If the parameter changes

3. Replace the M46 Air Recirculation Door Actuator and verify the M46 Air Recirculation Door Actuator can be put into all positions.
    ⇒  If the M46 Air Recirculation Door Actuator cannot be put into all positions

Replace the K33 HVAC Control Module.     ⇓  If the M46 Air Recirculation Door Actuator can be put into all positions

4. All OK.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
