Believe that's the "default mode." Done anything to the car recently/mess with any vacuum lines behind the intake, etc? Look for a loose or disconnected vacuum line.

There's a tiny (1/8") vacuum line running off the back of the manifold pointing toward the PCM. It should run toward the wireloom on the passenger side fender. This vacuum line controls the air diverter.

It goes into the wireloom where it hits a T. One side goes up behind the passenger side headlight to the vacuum canister, other side goes into the HVAC system.
