Air Con not blowing out cold air

[chana100red]

Hi,

My Air Con was working fine 3-4 weeks ago and suddenly it not throwing cold air.  I read articles about it and suggested fuse relay may have gone.  Not sure what to do or where to locate the fuse relay if it is the issue?

does ayone know where I can get hold of the schematics of the fuse compartments both in the engine bay and the one behind the glove compartment.

I dont think it requires re-gassing as it was working 3-4 weeks ago.

I don't have the schematics of the glove compartment fuse layout to identify which one is the Air Con.

Any advice would be most grateful.

Hi Dipak, there is a test that you can use to check if there are are any faults with your A/C system or HVAC as the Americans call it. It should work with most Toyotas - It woorks with my Mk3 Avensis and I have seen posts of it working with Mk2.

Here is a video regarding fuse box locations -

Thank you Konrad for detailed information about the A/C issue.  I will try the diagnostic test and see what error appears and then also watch the video for further help.

 

Thanks a million!!!

I took my car to ATS garage and found that under UV light there were signs of wear and tear(leaks) in the A/C system and pipe works.  As it has been re-gassed twice it lasted a week and went back to the warm air.

The chap in the garage checked this for me and advised that the whole network of a/c system needs to be changed.

A job i am not sure it worth doing based on the value of the car.

Bit disappointing to hear. When I had my old Mk1 Avensis (1998), the air-con was still working without issue. Shows some cars have a hard time and others easy. Just luck of the draw. Hopefully you won't suffer in this heat.

I would take it to a proper aircon specialist, you may find that it just needs the condensor or a pipe replacing. ATS are tyre fitters not proper aircon engineers and it is highly unlikely that the 'whole system' needs to be changed.

Thank you for your reply - i will take it to a specialist and get a proper diagnosis.
