Is there battery voltage?  
YES : The IG2 A/C wire is OK. REPLACE THE UNDER-HOOD FUSE/RELAY BOX .  
NO : Repair an open in the wire between the No. B22 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and  
the A/C diode B.

TEST  
NOTE:  
Before testing the motor, check for HVAC DTCs or climate control DTCs.  
1. Recirculation Control Motor - Test  
1. Disconnect the recirculation control motor connector.  
NOTE:  
Incorrectly applying power and ground to the recirculation control  
motor will damage it. Follow the instructions carefully.

2. Connect battery power to terminal No. 6 of the recirculation control motor, and ground terminal  
No. 7; the recirculation control motor should run smoothly, and stop at FRESH. If it does not,  
reverse the connections; the recirculation control motor should run smoothly, and stop at  
RECIRCULATE. When the recirculation control motor stops running, disconnect battery power  
immediately.  
3. If the recirculation control motor did not run in step 2, remove it, then check the recirculation  
control linkage and door for smooth movement.  

If the linkage and door move smoothly, go to step 4.  

If the linkage or door sticks or binds, repair them as needed.  
4. Measure the resistance between terminals No. 1 and No. 3. It should be between 4.2 kohms and 7.8  
kohms.  
5. Reconnect the recirculation control motor connector.  
6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).  
7. Using the backprobe set, measure the voltage between terminals No. 1 and No. 2.  
RECIRCULATE: About 2.8 V  
FRESH: About 0.5 V  
8. If either the resistance or voltage readings are not as specified, replace the recirculation control  
motor.  
INSTALLATION  
1. Glove Box - Move  
1. Install the glove box (A). Make sure the glove box stops (B) snap into place securely.  
2. Install the glove box damper hook (C).

SUNLIGHT SENSOR TEST  
TEST  
NOTE:  


When prying with a flat-tip screwdriver, wrap it with protective tape to  
prevent damage.  
Before testing the sensor, check for climate control DTCs.  
1. Sunlight Sensor - Test  
1. Remove the sunlight sensor (A) with connector connected.  
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).  
3. Measure the voltage between (+) probe on terminal No. 2 and (-) probe on terminal No. 3 with the  
connector connected.  
NOTE:  
The voltage readings will not change under the light of a flashlight or  
a fluorescent lamp.
