  1. Air Con CCU Board Service 01

    by , 16-08-2011 at 11:29 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)




    Another owner sent in the CCU board to have it serviced.

    As I already started working on another NSX, decided to finish this board first before I was getting too busy.


    The owner told me that quite often, there is nothing shown on his A/C CCU display and when it finally operated, the fan speed was at max blast.

    In order to check the cooling system after replacing the header tank and the effect of the new Air filter, went out for a test driving session.


    As the original air filter was so dirty (even at low mileage), decided to reset the ECU as well.


    Also, spoke with the owner and he told me that regardless of the engine temperature, quite often immediately after starting the engine, the engine rpm drops significantly and almost stalls ...
