A/C Service for Lexus IS250

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Lexus IS250?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Lexus vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2006 Lexus IS250 A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Lexus IS250

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2006 Lexus IS250 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 any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Lexus IS250 A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

IS250 A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2006 Lexus IS250 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. Then, they’ll use Lexus’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2006 Lexus IS250 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Lexus IS250 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Lexus IS250 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 2006 Lexus IS250? 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 IS250’s A/C!

Questions About 2006 Lexus IS250 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my IS250 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 IS250 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.
  • 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 IS250’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  •  Does the A/C in my IS250 use gas? Your IS250’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 IS250’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your IS250 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 vehicle have to be moving for my IS250’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your IS250 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
