Default HVAC Question 99 vert

I have a lower than expected air flow (volume) coming from my AC vents. I can switch from ac to heat and defroster no problem, can I assume that there is enough vacuum from the manifold feed tube?
The ac is cold but it doesn't blow a lot of air......I had the dreaded battery leak and I used baking soda and water to flush the acid from the top do I need to clean any further. Thanks for any help....

No the PCM is not your issue. Also does not seem to be a vacuum issue from what you have told us.

Can you get the blower to change speeds?

Also, pull your dash DIC codes and see if anything is there.

Not at home but have some ideas based on what you say when you respond.

Mr. Sam

Try this:

Re-Calibrating Actuators

Use the following steps to perform the calibration update:

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Remove the battery positive voltage circuit fuse of the HVAC Control Module (fuse #27).

Important
The module memory will not clear if the battery positive voltage circuit fuse is installed in less than 60 seconds.


3. Wait 60 seconds.
4. Install the fuse.


The actuators should move and reset themselves. Let them do their thing until they stop. Later if you adjust any temperature settings do it slowly or it can affect actuator settings.

Sam, can you explain what happens when the controls are turned too quickly, an why it jacks with the actuators? Thanks
