136 degree air from vents all the time

[peter parker]

Hey guys,

2001 Lincoln LS
3.9L

I am getting 136* F air out of all my vents, at all times, even when the DATC is off. This is what I know:

Ran DATC self test, replaced interior temp sensor. These are the DTC codes that are still showing up:

1242, 1265

These codes are for the cold air bypass actuator, and recirculation door actuator, which my car is equiped with, unfortunately (wishing I had a gen II ).

Could one of these be the cause of the hot air, or something else that I don't know?

Also, I have replaced the DCCV with a brand new 4 seasons DCCV, and gave it a tune up with motorcraft plugs, and coils. All parts came from rockauto.com.

Thanks!!

Your DCCV is wide open. This could be because of a bad DCCV, a bad connector to the DCCV, A blown fuse to the DCCV/AC clutch power, bad wiring, or a bad DATC. It's all been covered many times.

The cold air bypass door and the recirculation door are not factors in this.

I was thinking it could be the DATC myself, but I will go do some testing now based on your advice.

I searched many times with google for the answer to this, hence why I replaced the DCCV, but none of the answers were sufficient for my situation. I have been searching for the answer to this question I just asked since I bought the car in June.

Now I am wondering if the DCCV was even bad to begin with... But to quote you "its one of those parts that is bad, is going bad, or will go bad."

Thanks again for clearing that up for me.

Turns out that the connector was not connected all the way. I took it off, plugged it back in, and now everything is normal. I thought I plugged it all the way in though!

Sorry for cluttering up the board with the same old questions.
