#09-01-37-002A: Front and Rear Passenger Floor Carpet Wet (Inspect White Plug in HVAC Evaporator Drain and Apply Sealer to Front of Dash Area) - (Nov 3, 2009)


Subject: Front and Rear Passenger Floor Carpet Wet (Inspect White Plug in HVAC Evaporator Drain and Apply Sealer to Front of Dash Area)


Models: 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Malibu

2008-2009 Pontiac G6

2008-2009 Saturn AURA
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Condition
Some customers may comment that the front and rear floor carpet is wet on the passenger side.

Cause
This condition may be caused by a plugged HVAC evaporator Drain. In some cases, water from the HVAC system will drain back though the front of the dash.

Correction
Note: Reposition of the heat shield is not necessary on a Cobalt and HHR.

1. Verify the customer's concern. If there is water on the passenger side front floor area, raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in SI.
2. Inspect the operation of the drain.
Note: Make sure that small debris is not plugging up the drain.





3. Reposition the heat shield (1) in order to gain access to the HVAC drain.



4. Remove the white plug (1) and assure there is no debris in the drain tube and/or plug. If debris exists, pull from the drain tube (do NOT force back into evaporator case) and reinstall the plug.



Important: Do not get sealer on the heat shield, on the end of, or within the drain tube.

5. Mask off the areas (1, 2) by the HVAC drain using high-quality automotive tape.



6. Apply high tech seam sealer, Kent Industries P/N P6101*, to the front of dash area as shown in figure below.



7. Remove the high quality automotive tape and reposition the heat shield to it's normal position.
8. Lower the vehicle. Let the vehicle run with A/C on.
Perform a final inspection for the A/C and verify that the system is draining properly.
