Pinpoint Test H : Insufficient, Erratic Or No Heat

  1. H1 CHECK FOR CORRECT ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Check the engine coolant level when hot and cold.

    Is the engine coolant at the correct level (hot or cold) as indicated on the engine coolant recovery reservoir? 

    Yes  GO to  H3
    No  GO to  H2
  2. H2 CHECK THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS

    Is the heater core outlet hose temperature similar to the inlet hose temperature, within approximately 6-17 °C (10-30 °F)? 

    Yes  DIAGNOSE an inoperative temperature door actuator, GO to Pinpoint Test K 
    No  INSTALL a new heater core. Refer to: Heater Core - LHD FWD .
