A/C Service for Lexus LX470

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. 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 LX470?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Lexus vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2004 Lexus LX470 A/C systems. Steer your Lexus LX470 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2004 Lexus LX470’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 Lexus LX470 A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your LX470

While your 2004 Lexus LX470’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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 use Lexus’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2004 Lexus LX470 A/C recharges.

Other Lexus LX470 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Lexus LX470 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is 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 may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2004 Lexus LX470? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your LX470 — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2004 Lexus LX470 A/C Systems

  • How do I make my LX470 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.
  • Why do I get hot air from my LX470 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 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 LX470’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my LX470 A/C use gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your LX470.
  • Why does my LX470 have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? 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 LX470 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my LX470’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 LX470’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
