⚠️ Common Issue: Insufficient Heat from A/C System

🔎 Common Reasons for No Heat in a Car

🛠 How to Diagnose and Narrow Down the Issue

🚧 Clogged Heater Core

  1. Start the engine and let it run for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Locate the heater core inlet and outlet lines.
  3. Measure the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet lines.
    • ⚠️ If there’s a noticeable temperature difference, the heater core may be restricted, preventing hot coolant from circulating.

⚙️ Faulty Heater Control Valve

  2. Locate the heater control valve.
  3. Measure the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet lines.
