AIR INTAKE MODE DOES NOT CHANGE [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER]


id0703c1700500

DESCRIPTION
•  Air intake mode does not change when switching REC/FRESH mode
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  ROOM 15 A fuse malfunction
•  Open or short circuit in wiring harness between battery positive terminal and climate control unit
•  Open or short circuit in wiring harness between climate control unit and each actuator / sensor
•  Open or short circuit in wiring harness between climate control unit and air intake actuator position sensor
•  Climate control unit connector malfunction or poor connection
•  Air intake actuator connector malfunction or poor connection
•  Air intake actuator malfunction
•  Air intake link malfunction
•  Climate control unit malfunction
•  Air intake door malfunction

•  When performing an asterisked (*) troubleshooting inspection, shake the wiring harness and connectors while performing the inspection to discover whether poor contact points are the cause of any intermittent malfunctions. If there is a problem, inspect to make sure connectors, terminals and wiring harnesses are connected correctly and undamaged.
Note
•  The climate control unit controls the air intake mode when the airflow mode is in DEFROSTER so that it is fixed at FRESH mode. At this time, the airflow mode cannot be changed from FRESH to RECIRCULATE even if the REC switch is pressed, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
