1. Air Recirculation Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The desired position of the recirculation flap can be set with the recirculation switch at the HVAC controls. The selected value is passed 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 puts 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, activate and deactivate the defrost switch. Verify the scan tool Enhanced Defrost Switch parameter changes between Active and Inactive.
    2. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  2. If the parameter does not change

    Replace the A26 HVAC Controls.

    3. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  3. If the parameter changes

    4. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  4. Activate and deactivate the recirculation switch. Verify the scan tool Air Recirculation Mode Switch parameter changes between Active and Inactive.
    5. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  5. If the parameter does not change

    Replace the A26 HVAC Controls.

    6. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  6. If the parameter changes

    7. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  7. Activate and deactivate the air quality sensor switch. Verify the scan tool Air Quality Sensor Switch parameter changes between Active and Inactive.
    8. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  8. If the parameter does not change

    Replace the A26 HVAC Controls.

    9. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  9. If the parameter changes

    10. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  10. Replace the M46 Air Recirculation Door Actuator and verify the M46 Air Recirculation Door Actuator can be put into all positions.
    11. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  11. If the M46 Air Recirculation Door Actuator cannot be put into all positions

    Replace the K33 HVAC Control Module.

    12. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  12. If the M46 Air Recirculation Door Actuator can be put into all positions

    13. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  13. All OK.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
