DESCRIPTION

If the air inlet mode cannot be changed between recirculation/fresh or exhaust gas odors can be smelled even though recirculation mode is selected, the following suspected areas may be the cause.

Symptom

Factor
  • Air inlet mode cannot be changed between recirculation/fresh
  • Exhaust gas odors can be smelled when air inlet mode set to recirculation mode
  • No. 1 blower damper servo sub-assembly malfunction
  • Damper link disconnection
  • Air inlet damper mechanically locked
  • Engine coolant temperature (high)

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK NO. 1 BLOWER DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSEMBLY

(a) Check that the No. 1 blower damper servo sub-assembly is installed correctly.

OK:

The No. 1 blower damper servo sub-assembly is installed correctly.

Coolant Temperature

Engine coolant temperature

Min.: -40°C (-40°F), Max.: 140°C (284°F)

75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F): After warming up

This is the engine coolant temperature.

HINT:

  • After warming up the engine, the engine coolant temperature will be 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F).
  • After a long soak, the engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient air temperature will be approximately equal.
  • If the value is -40°C (-40°F), or higher than 135°C (275°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.
  • Check if the engine overheats if the value indicated is higher than 135°C (275°F).
