2018 Edge: AC is wormer on Max AC


Recommended Posts

When I use the Max AC the temp is warmer, the dealer states they measured the temp it was 49 degrees, the tech was using a inferred temp gun, where do they measure it from, is there a factory spec for this and my certified meter shows 60.

I need some info / support before I go back to the dealer.

Thank you

A non-contact thermometer is not suitable for this.

 

Get one of these cheap digital thermometers at Walgreens and fix it with tape, or whatever method you decide, at the outlet of one of the vents and record the temperature at low fan speed and high speed.

A meat thermometer would also work.

It sounds like an AC gas issue.

Normal practice is to measure the air temperature at the dash vents. It should be between 40 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit when the ambient temperature is in the 70s or 80s (i.e. in a garage). The temperature will be warmer at higher fan speeds (i.e. Max AC) due to increased volume of air.
