Hey Fella's
Got a problem with my VE Calais 2011 S2
Heating works on driver side but not on passenger side, always is cold even when i change to single or dual zone. Any ideas?

If the relearn works keep the climate control out of auto mode. I have found mine only stuffed up after using auto mode. I have used it manually since and never has the issue again.

It can be because of a faulty HVAC module. It’s an easy fix. The module is screwed to the HVAC behind the glove box and passenger side trim.

Can also be the actuator for the heater core compartment.

There isn’t a heater tap on VE. The coolant just flows all the time through the heater and temp is adjusted with motors opening various internal flaps.

I think that actuator is on the drivers side. I recently had the whole set up apart.

Do the relearn first.

Done the relearn thing, no difference, the LH servos work as well as the upper RH. What does the lower RH one do, Holden spares say they have never sold one

I have gone through my pics of the HVAC disassembly.

It’s all a bit confusing because I didn’t get enough photos of the right bits for reference.
It seems to be the actuator marked B, I could be wrong. That is the left side, the rectangle bump is the end of where the heater core is.
It’s a network of flaps and compartments inside.

All the actuators are interchangeable with each other if a new is needed. I just realised that I hadn’t had all the components and actuators installed in that photo.

Going through the HVAC service info, there are quite a few codes that can be generated by faulty components of the HVAC system.
These likely won't set the engine light. If there are faulty components, then a Tech2 scan will be able to find them and isolate the faulty component.
