A/C Repair Service for Your Cadillac CT5

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Cadillac CT5 A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Cadillac vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2021 Cadillac CT5 A/C systems. Steer your Cadillac CT5 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2021 Cadillac CT5’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Cadillac CT5 A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

CT5 A/C Recharge

While your 2021 Cadillac CT5’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll use Cadillac’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2021 Cadillac CT5 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Cadillac CT5 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Cadillac CT5 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 2021 Cadillac CT5? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your CT5.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2021 Cadillac CT5 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my CT5 air conditioner colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • What’s making my CT5 A/C put out warm air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your CT5’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my CT5 A/C use gas? Your CT5’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my CT5 smells like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your CT5 to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my CT5’s A/C to work? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your CT5’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
