How do I make my Pilot air conditioning 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 Pilot A/C put out warm air?

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.

How does my A/C system get a leak?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Pilot’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.

Does my Pilot A/C use gas?

Your Pilot’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.

Why does the A/C in my Pilot smell like vinegar?

If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Pilot creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Pilot’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 Pilot’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

A/C Repair Service for Your Honda Pilot

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Honda Pilot A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Honda vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2007 Honda A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Honda Pilot

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2007 Honda Pilot A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Honda Pilot A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your Pilot

Let's say we repair your 2007 Honda Pilot A/C system. We will also perform 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Honda's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2007 Honda Pilot A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Honda Pilot A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Honda Pilot A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also 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 suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2007 Honda Pilot? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Pilot — without all the sweat puddles!
