Heater too hot

Hi, the sensor is located in the lower centre console (the one with the climate controls on it) this clips off and the sensor is held in with one screw. It could be the blower doors for mixing cold air with hot air aren't working, and check the interior/exterior air recirculating position. does the fan switch off when the set temperature is reached or does it keep on blowing?

Hi Blower doors are located well inside console, i think the motor unit is in the passenger footwell on the side of the centre console module. However you can try this reset procedure for the system

turn ignition ON and press the temp control OFF button for at least 5 sec's as soon as the ignition is ON. the Led's and screen for the climate control are checked. press temp control UP switch, input signals from each sensor are checked. press temp control UP switch, air mix and mode motor position are checked and starting position are reset. press temp UP switch, actuators are checked. press temp control UP switch, temeratures detected by each sensor are checked.

to exit this mode press AUTO switch ON or switch off ignition.

this may reset any errors that have put the air mix doors out of position etc and is easy to try, after that it may need to be connected to consult 2 at a dealer.

That is really helpful - many thanks. Will try the reset
tomorrow in the daylight.

In Manual mode the air con is working fine on Lo setting
but the moment you go to next setting up (17°) it is
overwhelmed by heat.

Presumably consult 2 is a re-programmer and therefore a
dealer chargeable activity?

I'll let you know how I get on

Thanks again

Hi Cheryl, sorry for the late reply(winter bug) forgot to mention that the engine needs to be running for the last two checks (at working temperature) so maybe another reset will finish it off! If you pm me your e-mail address I can send you a more comprehensive diagnostic check list to use, it's not possible to write it on here.
