4. CHECK FOR 12 VOLTS TO THE RECIRCULATION DOOR ACTUATOR




Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Recirculation Door Actuator harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Actuate the Recirculation Door Actuator.
Using a volt meter measure the voltage on the (C32) Recirculation Door Driver (A) circuit in the Recirculation Door Actuator harness connector.
Does the volt meter read 12 volts?

Yes

- Go To5

No

- Go To6

5. CHECK FOR A BLOCKAGE STALLING THE RECIRCULATION DOOR ACTUATOR
Turn the ignition off.

- Repair as necessary. Also, check Recirculation Door Actuator for proper operation. Reinstall, or replace the Recirculation Door Actuator as necessary .

No

- Replace the Recirculation Door Actuator.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

6. CHECK FOR CHAFING IN THE (C32) RECIRCULATION DOOR DRIVER (A) CIRCUIT
Turn the ignition off.
Check the (C32) Recirculation Door Driver (A) circuit for wire chafing.
Is any wire chafing present?

Yes

- Repair the wire chafing on the (C32) Recirculation Door Driver (A) circuit.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

No

- Replace the A/C Heater Control Head.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.
