Default Heater **** and LOW heat

I noticed when my climate **** is fully turn to HOT it's slightly warm (to where it can't turn anymore). But when I apply force while holding it to HOT it gets warmer. So its seems like my heater **** isn't properly calibrated.

How can I make it so it's calibrated. Tighten a cable? I dont quite know how the heating **** works.

Starting with the 1998 model year, there is no cable connection between the Control head and the Heater Box. It is now all electronic.
It could be (as you suspect) Control Head related, but you've also got a Tempurature Blend Door that could be binding or a failing Servo Motor which controls it.

The "rub" is: without totally disassembling it and indiscriminately throwing parts at it, what can you do?
Take it to Honda (yeh, I know.... OUCH)
