Recirculation Control Motor Circuit Troubleshooting

Recirculation Control Motor Circuit Troubleshooting

1. Check the No. 30 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

Is the fuse OK?

YES - Go to step 2.

NO - Replace the fuse, and recheck.

2. Disconnect the recirculation control motor 7P (4-door) or 5P (2-door) connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




4. Measure the voltage between the No. 1 (4-door) or No. 5 (2-door) terminal of the recirculation control motor 7P (4-door) or 5P (2-door) connector and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 5.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the No. 30 fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and the recirculation control motor.

5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Test the recirculation control motor.
- 4-door
- 2-door

Is the recirculation control motor OK?

YES - Go to step 7.

NO - Replace the recirculation control motor.

7. Disconnect the audio-HVAC display panel 22P connector.




8. Check for continuity between the No. 7 and No. 8 terminals of audio-HVAC display panel 22P connector and body ground individually.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair any short to body ground in the wire(s) between the audio-HVAC display panel 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 audio-HVAC display panel and the recirculation control motor. This short may also damage the audio-HVAC display panel. Repair the short to power before replacing the audio-HVAC display panel.

NO - Go to step 10.

10. Turn the ignition switch OFF.







11. Check for continuity between the given terminals of audio-HVAC display panel 22P connector and the recirculation control motor 7P (4-door) or 5P (2-door) connector.

Is there continuity?

YES - Check for loose wires or poor connections at audio-HVAC display panel 22P connector and at the recirculation control motor 7P (4-door) or 5P (2-door) connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good audio-HVAC display panel, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original audio-HVAC display panel.

NO - Repair any open in the wire(s) between the audio-HVAC display panel and the recirculation control motor.
