Component Function Check

1.CHECK PTC HEATER OPERATION

1. Start the engine.

2. Operate fan control dial.

3. Operate temperature control dial to full hot position.

4. Check for warm air at discharge air outlet.

NOTE

:
• Engine must be cold.

• Battery must be charged.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> INSPECTION END NO >> Refer to HAC-176, "Diagnosis Procedure".

Diagnosis Procedure

1.CHECK FUSE AND FUSIBLE LINK
