RECIRCULATED AIR ALWAYS ON
2000 Models
Check vacuum system for disconnected, damaged or leaking hoses. If problem was found, go to next step. If no problem was found, go to step 3.
Repair or replace vacuum hoses and connections as necessary. For further diagnostic procedures, go to TEMPERATURE ACTUATOR INOPERATIVE.
Replace A/C-heater control panel. See A/C-HEATER CONTROL PANEL. After repair, go to next step.
Operate A/C-heater system in all functions to verify repair. If system functions properly, repair is complete. If problem exists, go to appropriate procedure.
TEMPERATURE ACTUATOR INOPERATIVE
2000 Models
Check DIC/HVAC fuse (10-amp) in fuse block. If fuse is faulty, go to next step. If fuse is okay, go to step 3.
Repair short to ground in Brown wire between fuse block and A/C-heater control panel harness connector C2 terminal "C". After repair, go to step 18.
Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using DVOM connected to ground, backprobe A/C-heater control panel harness connector C2 terminal "G" (Light Blue wire). Move temperature control **** from warm to cool and back to warm position. Indicated voltage should vary between 1-12 volts. If voltage varies as described, go to next step. If voltage does not vary as described, go to step 5.
Disconnect left electric actuator harness connector. Using DVOM connected to ground, measure voltage at left electric actuator harness connector terminal No. 10 (Brown wire). If 9-14 volts exists, go to step 6. If 9-14 volts does not exist, go to step 7.
Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect A/C-heater control panel harness connector C2. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using DVOM connected to ground, measure voltage at A/C-heater control panel harness connector C2 terminal "C" (Brown wire). If 9-14 volts exists, go to step 16. If 9-14 volts do not exist, go to step 12.
Connect DVOM between left electric actuator harness connector terminals No. 7 (Black wire) and No. 10 (Brown wire). If 9-14 volts exists, go to step 8. If 9-14 volts do not exist, go to step 9.
Repair open or poor connection in Brown wire between left electric actuator harness connector terminal No. 7 and DIC/HVAC fuse (10-amp) located in fuse block. After repair, go to step 18.
Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using DVOM connected to ground, measure voltage at left electric actuator harness connector terminal No. 8 (Light Blue wire). Move temperature control **** from warm to cool and back to warm position. Indicated voltage should vary between 1-12 volts. If voltage varies as described, go to step 10. If voltage does not vary as described, go to step 11.
Locate and repair poor connection or open in Black wire between ground and left electric actuator harness connector terminal No. 7. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. After repair, go to step 18.
Check for poor connection or connector damage at left electric actuator harness connector. Check for faulty linkage or binding of temperature control door. Repair or replace as necessary. If connections and actuator linkage are okay, replace left electric actuator. See LEFT ELECTRIC ACTUATOR under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. After repair, go to step 18.
Locate and repair poor connection or open in Light Blue wire between A/C-heater control panel harness connector C2 terminal "G" and left electric actuator harness connector terminal No. 8. After repair, go to step 18.
Locate and repair poor connection or open in Brown wire between A/C-heater control panel harness connector C2 terminal "C" and DIC/HVAC fuse (10-amp) located in fuse block. After repair, go to step 18.
Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect A/C-heater control panel harness connectors. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using DVOM connected to ground, check Light Blue wire for short to ground between A/C-heater control panel harness connector C2 terminal "G" and left electric actuator harness connector terminal No. 8. If short to ground exists, go to next step. If short to ground does not exist, go to step 15.
Repair short to ground in Light Blue wire between A/C-heater control panel harness connector C2 terminal "G" and left electric actuator harness connector terminal No. 8. After repair, go to step 18.
Replace A/C-heater control panel. See A/C-HEATER CONTROL PANEL under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. After repair, go to step 18.
Using DVOM, measure voltage between A/C-heater control panel harness connector C2 terminals "C" (Brown wire) and "K" (Black wire). If 9-14 volts does not exist, go to next step. If 9-14 volts exist, go to step 13.
Repair open or poor connection in Black wire between ground and A/C-heater control panel harness connector C2 terminal "K". After repair, go to next step.
Operate A/C-heater system in all functions to verify repair. If temperature actuator functions properly, repair is complete. If temperature actuator is still inoperative, return to step 1.
