Hi Everyone,


I just bought a H2 SUT a2008 model and having problems with the A/C. Every single time I press the Air Recirculation Mode, it will automatically revert back to Outside Air Mode after a few minutes. Is there a way to program the A/C to Recirculation Mode only? I have kids in the car and since we only use the car in the city, we would like to have the Recirculation Mode switched on continuously.


Appreciate any help at this point, thanks.

 

As per 2008 Owner's manual.

Recirculation: Press this button to turn the recirculation mode on. When the button is pressed, an indicator light will come on. This mode keeps outside air from entering the vehicle. It can be used to reduce outside air and prevent odors from entering the vehicle. Recirculation may also help cool the air inside the vehicle more quickly once
the temperature inside the vehicle is less than the outside temperature.

The recirculation mode cannot be used with floor, defrost, or defogging modes. If you try to select recirculation in one of those modes, the indicator will flash three times and turn off. The air conditioning compressor will also come on when this mode is activated. While in recirculation mode the windows may fog when the weather is cold and damp.
To clear the fog, select either the defog or defrost mode and increase the fan speed. Recirculation mode can be turned off by pressing the button again, or turning off the engine.

In short, you can only activate the recirculation mode on vent and vent/floor mode.

Hope this helps!

 

thank you citiboy. The A/C is switched on vent mode and yet it still switches to outside air mode after a few minutes... Any other suggestions?

 

Check HVAC control module for DTC code and go from there. It might just need to reprogram the module.

 

Ok, will try that. thank you again!
