Well yesterday i was doing some drifting, and when i do that in a small space my car overheats a bit, but that's a different problem.

But to aid in that, i turned on the heater, which helped allot cool the car down a bit.

But afterwards when i turned the temp back all the way down and turned on the a/c button i was still getting hot air.

i checked the refrigirant and it was just fine.

i did the diagnostics and i got 2 errors, 25 which is the sunload sensor and 26 which is the PBR.

the first time i did the diagnostics i didnt get the sunload sensor error so im thinking maybe the second time may have been a fluke.

Right now i'm concentrating on the damn PBR valve.

I did a search on here and found out where it is.

But i'm still not certain as to what is should be doing.... From what i read, it's supposed to move the arm depending on which temp you set your ac?

i messed around with the temp settings but it didnt do a thing.

If this is the culprit of my problems how can i bypass it? Can i just take the motor out and move it manually? i never use the heater anyway.

Help me out here guys!

well,

i found the problem.

it was like i thought, the PBR "valve" shown in the picture,

i took out the whole assembly and moved the arm by hand which closed some vent and i got cold air again.

now i'm looking for a way to test it.

there's a servo in it, so i'm thinking maybe connect it to a battery? was thinking a 9v?

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
