Maybe you just flipped on your Toyota’s air conditioning and found that it is blowing out hot air? No worries, this is typically low refrigerant that needs recharging to fix. If your air conditioner is not generating cold air, schedule a service right here at Pappas Toyota in St. Peters, MO. Our service is of the highest quality because we operate a Toyota certified service department with computerized A/C recharge equipment operated by a certified technician following Toyota’s technical service bulletin for your model.
Warm air blowing out of the vents with the A/C turned to the coldest setting, and with the blower on full blast is the telltale sign of low refrigerant.
A performance check tests cold-air production and will confirm that the A/C has a problem. This check is done by a certified technician that measures the air blowing out the vents when the system is set on full blast. When the air blowing out of the vents is not at specifications given ambient temperature and factory charts, it will be referred to A/C recharge service to fix.
These aftermarket kits pose a big problem for all modern vehicles, no matter what the manufacturer is for multiple reasons. First, not all refrigerants are created equal, and your Toyota requires a specific kind. Installing the wrong refrigerant will wreak havoc on the system and cause significant damage. Secondly, the refrigerant must be added at the right port, and this poses a big risk for the untrained as the air conditioning lines have multiple ports. Third, these kits have analog measuring that is not precise, nor can they precisely add the right amount of refrigerant. When you add it all up, it is a horrible idea to attempt this on your own.
Our service preserves peace of mind because we have certified technicians operating computerized refrigerant recharge equipment following Toyota’s service bulletin for your model. This process guarantees that we get the job done right according to factory specifications. Your air conditioning system is mounted to the high-tech equipment to pressurize and inspect for leaks. If a leak is found, it will need to be repaired before installing Toyota authorized refrigerant to specifications.
