In case of a customer complaint of the above condition on a 2002-04 MY X-TYPE vehicle within the above VIN range, first test the operation of the air inlet blend door. Set the fan speed to MAX and manually de-select the recirc button, there should be an audible difference in the climate control temperature motor noise. If the volume stays the same then the air inlet blend door is suspect. To rectify follow the workshop procedure outlined below. WORKSHOP PROCEDURE 1. Open door. 2. Turn ignition ‘ON’. 3. Operate front seat fully rearward for access. 4. The air recirculation switch should be in the fresh air mode. 5. Turn ignition ‘OFF’. 6. Remove the glove compartment hinge retaining screws (Illustration 1). 7. Remove the glove compartment retaining screws (Illustration 2). 8. Disconnect the glove compartment lamp electrical connector (Illustration 3). 9. Remove the glove compartment. 10. Disconnect the air inlet blend door actuator electrical connector, undo and remove the climate control upper front stepper motor securing screws and displace the climate control stepper motor and reposition to gain working access (Illustration 4). 11. Remove the air inlet blend door actuator securing screws (Illustration 5). 12. Displace and remove actuator. 13. On all vehicles, align the actuator shaft as follows: Connect the air inlet blend door actuator to the electrical connector, and switch the ignition ‘ON’. By a combination of operating the air recirculation button ON/OFF and disconnecting the electrical connector at the correct time set the shaft to the correct position. The flat opposite the curved face should be set nearest to and parallel with the line on the actuator body (Illustration 6). Note: A DTC will be stored during the alignment procedure since the open circuit will be detected. 14. Turn ignition ‘OFF’. 15. Ensure the air inlet blend door is in the fresh air position.
