Climate Control System

Principles of Operation

For a detailed description of climate control operation, refer to the relevant Description and Operation section of the
workshop manual.

Inspection and Verification

1 . Verify the customer concern.

2 . Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

3 . If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to
the next step

4 . If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.
