A/C Service for Lexus LX450

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. “Who can fix my Lexus LX450 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Lexus vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1997 Lexus. Bring your Lexus LX450 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1997 Lexus LX450 A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Lexus LX450 A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your LX450

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1997 Lexus LX450, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Lexus'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 ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1997 Lexus LX450 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Lexus LX450 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Lexus LX450 A/C problem you may 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. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 1997 Lexus LX450? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your LX450 — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 1997 Lexus LX450 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my LX450 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.
  • What’s making my LX450 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 LX450’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my LX450 A/C use gas?  The air conditioning system in your LX450 does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • Why does the A/C in my LX450 smell like vinegar? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your LX450 to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • What is causing my LX450’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? Damaged or worn components in your LX450’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
  • Where can I get my LX450’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing LX450 air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
