The cause of the evaporator freeze-up is product variation of the evaporator temperature sensor and uneven airflow across the evaporator. To correct the
sensor, a short harness with a built-in resistor will need to be installed in series with evaporator temperature sensor circuit. This cord will correct it by
reducing the measured value 1°C (1.8°F). To correct the airflow, a cabin filter with a built-in diffuser will need to be installed in place of the current
filter.
