TEMPERATURE CABLE
ADJUSTMENT
Because the cable and the cable housings have fixed
lengths, it is impossible to make a temperature cable ad-
justment.
In addition, the heater/air distributor case linkage cannot
be adjusted.
If a malfunction is suspected, verify the proper operation
of the controller and the mechanical doors for the heater/
air distributor case assembly.

2. Remove the center molding. Refer toSection 9E,
Instrumentation/Driver Information.
3. Disconnect the mode control cable from the mode
door.
4. Disconnect the temperature control cable eyelet
from the post on the controller.
