TROUBLESHOOTING

SYMPTOM

REMEDY

Fuel smell

Check fuel system on vehicle.

Check the fuel supply line in the fuel fired heater for fuel leaking and
fuel hose for twisting or clogging.

If none of above is affected, there is likelihood of fuel leaking from the
heater inner. Repair the heater after removing it.

Heater does not work at full load

Repair the heater after removing it.

White smoke occurs continuously during
operation

Repair the heater after removing it.

Shortage of coolant
Smoke occurs during operation
Excessive exhaust gas smell

Check coolant hose for leaking, twisting and hose clamp for looseness.

If above items are normal, leaks from the heater inner may cause these
symptoms.
Repair the heater after removing it.

Loss of fuel

Check fuel system on vehicle.

Check the fuel supply line in the fuel fired heater for fuel leaking and
fuel hose for twisting or clogging.

If above items are normal, there is likelihood of fuel leaking from the
heater inner.
Repair the heater after removing it.

DESCRIPTION

PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater (A) is an electric heater using a PTC element as an auxiliary heating
device that supplements deficiency of interior heat source in highly effective diesel engine (U engine).

An electric heater heats up the interior by directly heating the air that passes through the heater.
PTC = positive Temperature Coefficient
The name itself implies that the element has a proportional resistance change sensitive to temperature. PTC heater is
installed at the exit or the backside of heater core.

OPERATION PRINCIPLE

ECM outputs a PTC on signal. Operate PTC from 1st setting to 3rd setting with an interval of 15 seconds.
Heat up the air, which passes through a heater core.

OPERATION CONDITION

Judge the condition by ambient temperature is below 5°C, coolant temperature is below 70°C, and battery voltage is
above 11V and engine RPM is above 700RPM.
