    Has there been any research to determine it calibrates to a closed position that is under less tension?

    • @737mechanic
      @737mechanic  9 місяців тому +1

      Not that I know of but the purpose of the function is to make sure it is not overdriving or under-driving the doors.

    I wish that I would have found this video about two months ago. mine was dx as a bad compressor. I get lukewarm air. Hotter on the passenger side than the drivers. Then they told me that the supplied compressor was bad so I replaced it with another. Still didn't fix the issue. I'm about $1k into it without a fix. This will be a weekend project now!

    Everytime you unhook your battery or lose power for any reason you will have to do this over again or you will have the same problem I’ve found instead of turning the knob all the way on hot or cold leave it one click off and it works perfect

      It is a basic calibration that many scan tools have so I would guess yes but I can't say for sure.

    i love your vids, really informative! i would love that ms906ts myself.. but do you know if Autel has a $500-$600 model that would so similar functions as yours? $1400 is a bit out out of my price range atm.

      They do have a range of scan tools in the price range you are looking for but without researching each of their functions I can not be sure what all they are capable of. But check out the xtool D7 here amzn.to/3Ft0972 I have the D8 and have a few videos on it. The D7 is very close in capability to the D8 that I have. amzn.to/3qjPtD3

    I have a 2011 ss2 and im finding when I turn the heat on the lowest setting it sounds like its running high and it shuts off. If I turn it off and wait acmin and turn it back on it will turn on again then go off. Any thoughts?

  • @renpal2173ify
    @renpal2173ify 2 роки тому +3

    Could you also solve the problem by not turning the knob all the way to cold or hot. Just like one notch before. So the door doesn’t have a lot of strain on it to hold that position? Am I making sense? Lol. My ac condenser went out and it cost over $3000 bc the windshield and entire dashboard had to come out. I would die if I have to go through this again with the blend door

    • @737mechanic
      @737mechanic  2 роки тому +1

      Yes, you can, The only problem is remembering to do that and wondering if you will get full cold on a hot day. But yes that will help prevent the stress it is under.

      @737mechanic  2 роки тому +1

      It could be but the first thing to check believe it or not is the refrigerant level. The way these newer cars are ducted if the refrigerant gets low one side can be cooler than the other all because the refrigerant is low.

    • @737mechanic

      That would be the first thing I would do but you also need to make sure you have all the actuators connected. You can use a scan tool to move each actuator also to see if it is capable of moving.

      The car is suppose to be able to do it but it is good to do it very now and then because sometimes the actuators will get out of calibration and when that happens it places to much stress on the door.
