Heater Core Inspection

  1. Inspect the heater core for damage, cracks, and water leakage.
    • If there is any malfunction, replace the heater core.
  2. Visually inspect the fins for bending.
    • If there is any bending, use the end of a flathead screwdriver to straighten the fins.
  3. Visually inspect the heater hose for deformation.
    • Repair with pliers if there is deformation. If there is any malfunction, replace the heater core.
