cn90 is on a distinguished road
An easy way to test...

Get a meat thermometer and stick in the center vent.
While driving around town at engine 1500-2000 rpm, the center vent should read 150F-160F or so, or it should be "uncormfortably hot" to your hand.

Make sure:
1. You turn the heat all the way up
2. Blower motor at 30-40% speed
3. ONLY center vent is selected (and the center air selecter is turned all the way to RED).
