1. CHECK COOLING SYSTEM

1.Check engine coolant level and check leakage. Refer to "System Inspection" Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview (QR25DE) or CO34, "System Inspection" (VQ35DE).
2.Check reservoir tank cap. Refer to "System Inspection" Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview (QR25DE) or "System Inspection" Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

NO- Refill engine coolant and repair or replace parts depending on the inspection results.

2. CHECK HEATER HOSE

Check installation of heater hose visually or by touching.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 3.
NO- Repair or replace parts depending on the inspection results.

3. CHECK HEATER CORE

1.Check temperature of inlet hose and outlet hose of front heater core.
2.Check that inlet side of heater core is hot and the outlet side is slightly lower than/almost equal to the inlet side.

CAUTION:
Always perform the temperature inspection in a short period of time because the engine coolant temperature is very hot.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 4.
NO- Replace heater core. Refer to "HEATER CORE : Removal and Installation" Service and Repair.

4. CHECK AIR LEAKAGE FROM EACH DUCT

Check duct and nozzle, etc. of front air conditioning system for air leakage.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 5.
NO- Repair or replace parts depending on the inspection results.

5. CHECK SETTING OF TEMPERATURE SETTING TRIMMER (FRONT)

2.Check that temperature setting trimmer (front) is set to " direction".
NOTE:
The control temperature can be set by the temperature setting trimmer (front).
