Recirculation Control Motor Circuit Troubleshooting

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Honda Odyssey and 2005 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check the No. 30 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.

    Is the fuse OK? 

    1. YES  - Go to step 2.
    2. NO  - Replace the fuse, and recheck.
  2. Disconnect the recirculation control motor 7P connector.
  3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  4. Measure the voltage between the No. 1 terminal of the recirculation control motor 7P connector and body ground.

    Is there battery voltage? 

    1. YES  - Go to step 5.
    2. NO  - Repair open in the wire between the No. 30 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the recirculation control motor.
  5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  6. Test the recirculation control motor (see RECIRCULATION CONTROL MOTOR TEST  ).

    Is the recirculation control motor OK? 

    1. YES  - Go to step 7.
    2. NO  - Replace the recirculation control motor (see RECIRCULATION CONTROL MOTOR TEST  ), or repair the recirculation control linkage or doors.
  7. Disconnect A/C control panel connector A (22P).
  8. Check for continuity between the No. 5 and No. 6 terminals of A/C control panel connector A (22P) and body ground individually.

    Is there continuity? 

    1. YES  - Repair any short to body ground in the wire(s) between the A/C control panel and the recirculation control motor.
    2. NO  - Go to step 9.
  9. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and check the same terminals for voltage to body ground.

    Is there any voltage? 

    1. YES  - Repair any short to power in the wire(s) between the A/C control panel and the recirculation control motor. This short may also damage the A/C control panel. Repair the short to power before replacing the A/C control panel.
    2. NO  - Go to step 10.
  10. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  11. Check for continuity between the following terminals of A/C control panel connector A (22P) and the recirculation control motor 7P connector.

    22P 7P
    No. 5 No. 5
    No. 6 No. 7

    Is there continuity? 

    1. YES  - Check for loose wires or poor connections at A/C control panel connector A (22P) and at the recirculation control motor 7P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good A/C control panel, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original A/C control panel.
    2. NO  - Repair any open in the wire(s) between the A/C control panel and the recirculation control motor.
