What are the causes and diagnostic methods for insufficient car heater performance?
1 Answers
Car heater performance issues can be attributed to: 1. Engine cooling system problems; 2. Malfunctioning heater control mechanisms. The diagnostic approach involves checking the temperature of both inlet pipes to the heater core. If both pipes are sufficiently hot, the issue likely lies with the air distribution controls. Conversely, if both pipes remain cold or exhibit uneven temperatures (one hot, one cold), this indicates a cooling system malfunction. Automotive air conditioning refers to the climate control system installed in vehicles, capable of cooling, heating, ventilating, and purifying cabin air to provide occupants with a comfortable environment, reduce driver fatigue, and enhance driving safety.
