Some possible causes of high temperature output at center
panel when A/C system pressure is normal include:
* Excessive oil charge in refrigerant.
* Temperature control cable improperly installed or faulty.
* Blend-air door inoperative, obstructed or sealing
improperly.
* Blend door actuator not calibrated.

LOW
Some possible causes of low side system pressure being lower-
to-normal and high side system pressure being too low include:
* Low refrigerant system charge.
* Refrigerant flow through accumulator is restricted.
* Refrigerant flow through evaporator is restricted.
* Faulty compressor.
LOW SIDE PRESSURE IS HIGH-TO-NORMAL & HIGH SIDE PRESSURE IS

HIGH
Some possible causes of low side system pressure being high-
to-normal and high side system pressure being too high include:
* Condenser air flow restricted.
* Inoperative cooling fan.
* Faulty expansion valve.
* Refrigerant system overcharged.
* Air in refrigerant system.
* Engine overheating.
LOW SIDE PRESSURE IS HIGH & HIGH SIDE PRESSURE IS LOW
Some possible causes of low side system pressure being too
high and high side system pressure being too low include:
* Compressor belt is slipping.
* Fixed orifice tube not installed.
* Faulty compressor.
LOW SIDE PRESSURE IS LOW & HIGH SIDE PRESSURE IS HIGH
Some possible causes of low side system pressure being too
low and high side system pressure being too high include:
* Restricted refrigerant flow through refrigerant lines.
* Restricted refrigerant flow through expansion valve.
* Restricted refrigerant flow through fixed orifice tube.
* Restricted refrigerant flow through receiver-drier.
* Restricted refrigerant flow through condenser.
BLOWER MOTOR DIAGNOSIS
BLOWER MOTOR INOPERATIVE
Some possible causes of an inoperative blower motor include:
* Faulty fuse.
* Faulty blower motor feed circuit wire harness or
connectors.
* Faulty blower motor ground circuit wire harness or
connector.
* Faulty blower motor resistor.
* Faulty blower motor relay.
* Faulty blower motor switch.
* Faulty A/C-heater mode control switch.
* Faulty blower motor.
BLOWER NOT OPERATING IN ALL SPEEDS
Possible causes of the blower not operating in all speeds
include:
* Faulty fuse.
* Faulty blower motor feed circuit wire harness or
connectors.
* Faulty blower motor relay.
* Faulty blower motor resistor.
* Faulty blower motor switch.

or the vehicle manufacturer's recommended service interval and must be
documented.
Some conditions indicate that service or part replacement is
required because the part in question is no longer providing the
function for which it is intended, does not meet a vehicle
manufacturer's design specification or is missing.
Example:
An exhaust pipe has corroded severely and has a hole in it
through which exhaust gases are leaking. Replacement of the
exhaust pipe in this case is required due to functional
failure.
Example:
A brake rotor has been worn to the point where it measures
less than the vehicle manufacturer's discard specifications.
Replacement of the rotor is required because it does not meet
design specifications.
Some conditions indicate that a service or part replacement
is suggested because the part is close to the end of its useful life
or addresses a customer's need, convenience or request. If a
customer's vehicle has one of these conditions, the procedure may be
only to suggest service.
Example:
An exhaust pipe is rusted, corroded or weak, but no leaks are
present. In this case, the exhaust pipe has not failed.
However, there is evidence that the pipe may need replacement
in the near future. Replacement of the pipe may be suggested
for the customer's convenience in avoiding a future problem.
Example:
The customer desires improved ride and/or handling, but the
vehicle's shocks or struts have not failed. In this case,
replacement may be suggested to satisfy the customer's
wishes. In this case, replacement of the shocks or struts may
not be sold as a requirement.
A customer, of course, has the choice of whether or not a
shop will service his or her vehicle. He or she may decide not to
follow some of your suggestions. When a repair is required, a MAP shop
must refuse partial service on that system if, in the judgment of the
service provider, proceeding with the work could create or continue an
unsafe condition. When a procedure states that required or suggested
repair or replacement is recommended, the customer must be informed of
the generally acceptable repair/replacement options whether or not
performed by the shop.
When presenting suggested repairs to the customer, you must
present the facts, allowing the customer to draw their own conclusions
and make an informed decision about how to proceed.
The following reasons may be used for required and suggested
services. These codes are shown in the "Code" column of the MAP
Uniform Inspection & Communications Standards that follow:
Reasons to Require Repair or Replacement
A - Part no longer performs intended purpose
B - Part does not meet a design specification (regardless of
performance)
C - Part is missing
NOTE: When a repair is required, the shop must refuse partial
