INFORMATION
Subject:
Proper Positioning of Lower Radiator Baffle When Diagnosing Poor A/C Performance
Models:
2000-2001 Chevrolet and GMC C/K Utility Models
(Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL)
Prior to performing any air conditioning (A/C) diagnostics to determine poor A/C performance, the lower radiator baffle should be inspected. A
contributor to poor A/C performance at idle and/or low vehicle speeds in city traffic, as well as increasing the coolant temperature, may be an
out-of-position lower radiator baffle. The baffle is attached to the radiator support assembly and must be positioned between the top and bottom edges of
the bumper. This position is critical because the baffle prevents hot engine air from recirculating through the condenser and the radiator. If the baffle is
found to be out of position, push the soft baffle up above the bumper's bottom edge. No fasteners are required to secure the baffle. There is no need to
evacuate and recharge the A/C system. Evaluate A/C performance following published Service Manual procedures.
