What is the Heater Control Valve all about?

The heater control valve is one of the many components that are responsible for warming the interior compartment. This valve controls the flow of coolant from the engine to the heater core. Most heater control valves are operated in three basic ways. A manual cable, a thermostat type system, or even engine vacuum can control them.

Keep in mind:

  • The heater control valve cannot be repaired, only replaced.
  • When the valve is replaced, a mechanic should inspect the other heater hoses, so that they can be replaced if need be.
  • If the heater control valve is contaminated or corroded, the coolant in the system should be flushed when the new valve is installed.

How it's done:

  • Pressure check the cooling system.
  • Test operation of the valve.
  • Replace the control valve if bad/leaking.
  • Fill with coolant.
  • Test operation of the heater.

Our recommendation:

Since the air and heating system is a closed system, a mechanic won’t be checking your heater control valve during routine inspections and services. Instead, keep an eye on your air and heating system, and schedule an inspection if you notice that anything is malfunctioning. If your heater either doesn’t work or won’t adjust, then you possibly have a malfunctioning heater control valve, and you should schedule an inspection.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Heater Control Valve?

  • Coolant is leaking.
  • Heater does not work.

How important is this service?

If the heater control valve is leaking then you will end up with a loss of coolant, which will eventually cause the car to overheat. A properly working heater control valve ensures the proper functioning of the heating and AC system.

Buick LeSabre V6-3.8L - Car is not starting - Charleston, South Carolina
Edwin was early for the appointment. He explained things fairly well. What I did not get from him, which I didn't know to ask for, was the actual code for what was wrong during the diagnostic. He said that he may need to come back out to do more in-depth testing. The battery charge he provided worked for a few days but the car is now completely dead again as of Saturday 10/5/19. I didn't have time to go get a new battery to try to install by myself. Whatever he did worked for a little while but I still don't know what the real problem is; apparently I need to have a second appointment for more in-depth look at what's going on. He gave me a good start, though.

Buick LeSabre V6-3.8L - Brakes, Steering and Suspension Inspection - Lewisville, Texas
My car has 180k miles and I requested Jacob perform a safety inspection to determine the status of the vehicle. Jacob discusses his inspection with you prior to beginning and when completed he reviews all his findings with you and helps you plan to make safety related repairs first. Having your car repaired is all about trusting the person you are dealing with. We all have experienced poor service and unfulfilled promises from repair shops.. Jacob established and delivered trust in his performance and his word. No more dealers or repair shops, I will be requesting my trusted repairman Jacob Smith going forward.
