What Causes the Heater to Not Blow Hot Air After Replacing Coolant?
1 Answers
Reasons why the heater does not blow hot air after replacing coolant: 1. Insufficient warm-up time: The engine coolant temperature has not risen enough. Unlike air conditioning, the heater requires the coolant temperature to rise before producing warm air. Turning on the heater too early can affect the temperature increase. 2. Thermostat failure: The thermostat is a temperature control sensor located on the radiator. If it malfunctions, the coolant temperature reported to the vehicle's computer will be incorrect, causing the cooling fan to not operate. 3. Recirculation mode issue: If the desired temperature cannot be achieved, switching to recirculation mode can help the temperature rise quickly. Switching back afterward will not result in cold air.
