  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the M4 Air Inlet Door Actuator.
  2. Connect a test lamp between control circuit terminal 1 and control circuit terminal 2, ignition ON.
  3. Verify the test lamp turns ON for approximately 10 s when commanding the RECIRCULATE and FRESH AIR positions using the recirculate switch.
    • If the test lamp does not turn ON and OFF during either of the commands 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp and disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K33 HVAC Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between each control circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
    3. Test for infinite resistance between each control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    4. Test for less than 2 Ω in each control circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K33 HVAC Control Module.
