A/C Service for GMC Yukon XL 1500

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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my GMC Yukon XL 1500 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know GMC vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2012 GMC A/C systems. Bring your GMC Yukon XL 1500 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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 GMC Yukon XL 1500 A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Yukon XL 1500 A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per GMC guidelines. 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 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting GMC Yukon XL 1500 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only GMC Yukon XL 1500 A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Yukon XL 1500’s A/C!

Questions About 2012 GMC Yukon XL 1500 A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Yukon XL 1500 air conditioner colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Yukon XL 1500 A/C? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? 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 Yukon XL 1500’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Yukon XL 1500 A/C use gas? Your Yukon XL 1500’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.
  • My Yukon XL 1500’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your Yukon XL 1500 smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why does my Yukon XL 1500’s A/C only work when the car is moving? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Yukon XL 1500 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
