Recirculation Mode
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The recirculation door will move automatically with an input from the A/C high pressure recirculation switch. The PCM will place the A/C system in recirculation mode when a signal is sent over the A/C refrigerant high pressure cut-out switch signal circuit. This allows for the cooler inside air to flow over the A/C evaporator and cool the refrigerant temperature, until the high side pressure returns to normal. The PCM sends a Class 2 message to command full recirculation at 2896 kPa (420 psi).
