Troubleshooting
Symptom Ghart
For electrical malfunctions which are indicated by the self-diagnostic system, reter to selt-diagnosjs function (see next
page).
Note these items before troubleshooting a symptom.
. Check the engine coolant level, and allow the engine to warm up before troubleshooting.
. Anv abnormality must be corrected before continuing the test.
. Because of the precise measurements needed, use a digital multimeter with an output of 1 mA or less at the 20 kO
range when testing.
. Before performing any troubleshooting procedures check:
- Fuses No. 47 17.5 AJ, No. 55 (40 A), No. 56 (20 A), No. 57 (20 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and No. 17 {7.5 A) in
the under-dash fuse/relay box.._ Grounds No. G101, G201, G202, G401, G4O2
- Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors

Self-diagnosis Function
The heater control panel has a self-diagnosis function.
Running the Self-diagnosis Function'97 mod€l:
Turn the ignition switch ON {ll), then set the mode control dial to the Vent position, and the recirculation controt switch toRecirculate {recirculation indicator light comes on). Press and hold the recirculation control switch to Fresh (recirculation indi-cator light goes off). Continue to hold the switch; the recirculation indicator light will come on for two seconds. then it willblink the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to indicate a iaulty component. lf no DTC'S are found, the indicator liqht will notblink atter the initial two second light.
'98 - 00 models:
Set the mode control dial to the Vent position, and turn the ignition switch ON (ll). Within six seconds after turning the igni-tion switch on, press the recirculation control switch the required number of times depending on the recirculation indicatorlight status:
.lftheindicatorlightisON,presstherecirculationcontrol switch five times..lftheindicatorlightisOFF,presstherecirculationcontrol switch six I|mes.The recirculation indicator light will come on for two seconds, then blink the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to indicate afaulty component. lf no DTC'S are found, the indicator light will not blink after the initial two second liqht.

Recirculation Control Motor
Replacement
1. Oisconnect the 4P connector and the wire harness
clio from the recirculation control motor. Remove
the self-tapping screws and the recirculation control
motor,
lnstall in the reverse order of removal. After installa-
tion, make sure the recirculation control motor runs
smoothlv.

Test
1.
4.
Disconnect the 4P connector from the recirculation
control motor.
Connect battery power to the No. 1 terminal, and
ground the No. 2 and No. 4 terminals; the recircula-
tion control motor should run smoothly. To avoid
damaging the recirculation control motor. do not
reverse power and ground.
RECIRCULANON CONTROL MOTOR
Disconnect the No. 2 or No. 4 terminals from ground;
the recirculation control motor should stop at Fresh
or Recirculate. Don't cvcle the recirculation control
motor for a long time.
lf the recirculation control motor does not run in step
2, remove it, then check the recirculation control link-
age and door for smooth movement. lf they move
smoothly, replace the recirculation control motor.
