  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 front heater core.

REAR EVAPORATOR INSPECTION

  1. Inspect for cracks, damage, and oil leakage. If any are found, replace the rear evaporator.
  2. Inspect for bent fins. If any are bent, use a flathead screwdriver to straighten them.

REAR HEATER CORE INSPECTION

  1. Inspect for cracks, damage, and coolant leakage. If any are found, replace the rear heater core.
  2. Inspect for bent fins. If any are bent, use a flathead screwdriver to straighten them.
