1. Air Recirculation Malfunction
|
||||
| Circuit/System Description |
The desired position of the recirculation flap can be set with the recirculation switch at the Radio/HVAC control. The selected value is sent to the HVAC control module via the LIN-Bus. Two stepper motors are used for the recirculation and fresh air control. The first stepper motor moves the air inlet flap, the second stepper motor moves the recirculation flap. In the recirculation mode the air inlet flap closes and the recirculation flap opens in order to circulate the air within the vehicle. In fresh air mode the air inlet flap opens and the recirculation flap is closed again in order to route outside air into the vehicle. The HVAC control module supplies a 12 V reference voltage to both stepper motors and energizes the appropriate 4 stepper motor coils with a pulsed ground signal. The stepper motor puts the recirculation flap and fresh air flap into the selected position.

| 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.
|
|
| 2. |
If not the specified value, replace the A20 Radio/HVAC Controls.
|
|
| 3. |
Press and release the recirculation switch. Verify the scan tool Air Recirculation Mode Switch parameter changes between Active and Inactive.
|
|
| 4. |
If not the specified value, replace the A20 Radio/HVAC Controls.
|
|
| 5. |
Press and release the automatic recirculation switch. Verify the scan tool Air Quality Sensor Switch parameter changes between On and Off.
|
|
| 6. |
If not the specified value, replace the A20 Radio/HVAC Controls.
|
|
| 7. |
Verify the M46 Air Recirculation Door Motor can be put into all positions.
|
|
| 8. |
If the M46 Air Recirculation Door Motor cannot be put into all positions, replace the M46 Air Recirculation Door Motor and verify the M46 Air Recirculation Door Motor can be put into all positions. If the M46 Air Recirculation Door Motor cannot be put into all positions, replace the K33 HVAC Control Module.
|
|
| 9. |
If all circuits test normal, replace the M4 Air Inlet Actuator and verify the M4 Air Inlet Actuator can be put into all positions. If the M4 Air Inlet Actuator cannot be put into all positions, replace the K33 HVAC Control Module.
