DTC B2986 (B-B4), B2986 (55)

DTC B2986, DTC screen B-B4, or DTC screen 55  : An open in the recirculation control motor circuit

DTC (AC)

1. Problem verification

   -1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.

   -2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode and then the ON mode.

   -3. Do the Self-Diagnostic Function with the HDS or the climate control unit .

   -4. Check for DTCs.

   DTC Description	DTC
   B2986 An open in the recirculation control motor circuit

   Is DTC B2986, Error on the DTC screen B-B4 (climate control panel without display), or DTC screen 55 (climate control panel with display) indicated?

   YES 

   The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

   NO 

   Intermittent failure. Check for loose wires or poor connections on the recirculation control motor circuit.

2. Determine possible failure area (RFD-P line, others)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   Recirculation control motor 5P connector

   -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle ON mode
   	Recirculation control motor 5P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	Recirculation control motor 5P connector (female terminals) No. 2:
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there about 5 V?

   YES 

   The RFD-P wire is OK. Go to step 3.

   NO 

   Go to step 5.

3. Determine possible failure area (recirculation control motor, SENS-COM line)

   -1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle ON mode
   	Recirculation control motor 5P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	Recirculation control motor 5P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
   Test point 2	Recirculation control motor 5P connector (female terminals) No. 2:

   Is there about 5 V?

   YES 

   Replace the recirculation control motor .

   NO 

   Go to step 4.

4. Open wire check (SENS-COM line)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   Climate control unit connector B (24P)

   -3. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Recirculation control motor 5P connector: disconnected
   	Climate control unit connector B (24P): disconnected
   Test point 1	Recirculation control motor 5P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
   Test point 2	Climate control unit connector B (24P) No. 10

   Is there 1.0 Ω or less?

   YES 

   Replace the climate control unit .

   NO 

   Repair an open in the SENS-COM wire.

5. Open wire check (RFD-P line)

   -1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle ON mode
   	Recirculation control motor 5P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	Climate control unit connector B (12P) No. 4
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there about 5 V?

   YES 

   Repair an open in the RFD-P wire.

   NO 

   Replace the climate control unit .
