Muddy said:Ive got the same issue on my type s. Hot air on passenger side but cold on drivers side. Raised it on here a few years ago but no one had any idea what the problem could be. gave up trying to get it repaired as no one had any idea what the issue was :-( Will be interesting to see if a solution can be found
If you've not got it set to DUAL then it's probably an issue with the motorised flaps on the driver's side.Muddy said:Anyone ever fixed this issue on the type s?
Thanks

I have created some images from the guide (click on an image to make it full size)
and finally, the best could be this
Lol ive just tested the temperature sensor and everything seems ok. Didnt get any error messages. Is is safe to ***ume the issue is the motorised flap? How do I go about repairing it? Once again thank you freddofrog for your ***istancefreddofrog said:My Accord is SORN and under a car-port at the back of my house, with the battery negative disconnected.
I just went out and tried the above, and wow it is absolutely fantastic !!!!!
It's a "toy" on the car in its own right !!!!
good question, of the 5 temperature sensors in the readings, you're right., it's not in the diagrams in this threadJapCar said:For 9- There is no way that those reading are correct, so the temperature sensor on the main vent is probably faulty. Which is this sensor on picture from post #44
I had A/C OFF i.e. compressor not runningJapCar said:For 10- I would have expected the evaporator temperatures (5th reading) to be lower than those readings. My readings are just 1 deg. less than yours...??
"perished" means that many of the vertical elements between the horiontal cooling fins have disconnected or fallen out of the condenser, see my one before I replaced it http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/10382-diagnosing-aircon-problems/?p=187690JapCar said:For 10- I would have expected the evaporator temperatures (5th reading) to be lower than those readings.

- Maybe the evaporator temperature sensor is faulty I see where the sensor on the picture is.
- the condenser (in front of the engine radiator) is perished (weak ability to allow heat out of the aircon system). I know where the condenser is but what physically means "perished" and how to check it?
they've been mentioned in a couple of other threadsJapCar said:Generally, is there any guide / thread how to access vents and sensors (to check them) from picture in post #44 ?
- to get to the evaporator, remove the glove box, then the blower unit, and the evaporator can then be accessed On this way access will be just at one side of the evaporator... but sensors, motors are at both sides. Probably central console as well?freddofrog said:good question, of the 5 temperature sensors in the readings, you're right., it's not in the diagrams in this thread
- in-car temperature (1st in the list) ...shown in the diagram in #44
- ambient (2nd in the list) ....not shown in the diagram, but it is external, IIRC down under the front bumper
- engine temperature (4th in the list) ...speaks for itself
- evaporator temperature (5th in the list) ...also in the diagram in #44
- vent temp air out (9th in the list) ...this is the one we're talking about, I have seen it in another thread, but at the moment I can't remember where

- one of the other sensors (vent temperature I think) is also in the thread I'm thinking of, I'll have to find it
I think you are correct, the evaporator sensor is actually on the right-hand side of the evaporator, see nextJapCar said:- to get to the evaporator, remove the glove box, then the blower unit, and the evaporator can then be accessed On this way access will be just at one side of the evaporator... but sensors, motors are at both sides.

I've been away a while, and just read your post.JapCar said:Just forgot to say- before and now I can control both sides heating. Before, when set by arrows both sides to "Hi", both sides blow warm air, when set to "Lo" just left side cooling. Now both sides settings Lo and Hi work
I will report after test 1-4. When I tested I didn't remember position of DUAL, but both sides were Lo or Hi at the same time...freddofrog said:I've been away a while, and just read your post.
I'm not sure whether it's fixed ?
To be sure, forget the built-in "diagnostic" system, and what happens with the following
With engine fully up to temperature and with A/C ON .....
with DUAL OFF (driver's and passenger's sides operate together)
1. with temperature setting on Lo, do both sides blow very cold ?
2. with temperature setting on Hi, do both sides blow hot ?
with DUAL ON (driver's and passenger's sides operate individually)
3. with temperature setting Lo on passenger's side and temperature setting Hi on driver's side, does the passenger side blow very cold and driver's side blow hot ?
4. with temperature setting Hi on passenger's side and temperature setting Lo on driver's side, does the passenger side blow hot and driver's side blow very cold ?
