zanderalex1 Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 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. https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/procheck-30-second-flexible-dishwasher-safe-digital-thermometer-model%3a-mt1p21-pro/ID=prod6175073-product It sounds like an AC gas issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
