A/C - Indicator Should Stay Off in Defrost Mode

SOURCE:
Honda Service News April 2003

TITLE:
A/C Indicator Should Stay Off in Defrost Mode

APPLIES TO:
2003 Civics, 2003 CR-Vs, and 2003 Elements

SERVICE TIP:
When you select the Floor-Defrost or Defrost modes, the heater control panel turns on the A/C to hike defroster performance but leaves the indicator in the A/C button turned off if it was previously off. There's nothing wrong here; the control logic has been changed in these models. Previously, the indicator in the A/C button came on when you selected these modes. All future owner's manuals for these models will reflect this new logic.
