System Operates Only At Max A/C
May be caused by vacuum or electrical problem.
- With system operating, disconnect programmer electrical connector and observe programmer movement through slot at bottom of programmer cover.
- If programmer remains in Max A/C position, remove multiple vacuum connector and check for supply vacuum at black hose.
- If no or low vacuum, check for Teaks or disconnects in vacuum hose routings. Refer to appropriate vacuum diagram in separate articles in this section.
- If vacuum is okay, programmer is malfunctioning. Remove cover and inspect for obvious defects. If none are visible, use ATC Tester J-23678 to analyze and correct problem (complete programmer testing instructions are furnished with test unit).
- If programmer moved to Max Heat position when electrical connection was removed, defect is external to programmer. Check the following items:
- Shorted in-car sensor.
- Shorted or miscalibrated temperature dial.
- Short in sensor circuit of wiring harness.
- Disconnect or open in ground circuit (black wire) between control head and programmer.
- No electrical power to programmer (yellow wire).
- Malfunction within programmer assembly.
