Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Recirculation Operation
When the operator selects RECIRCULATION, the HVAC control assembly connects the recirculation door vacuum actuator to the vacuum source. The recirculation actuator retracts, closing the recirculation door. The recirculation operation can function with blower motor in either the ON or OFF position. RECIRCULATION will continue until either outside air is selected or the next ignition cycle. RECIRCULATION is not available in DEFROST and MIX-BLEND mode.
