A/C Service for Lexus RX450hL

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Lexus RX450hL?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Lexus vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2019 Lexus A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Lexus RX450hL

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2019 Lexus RX450hL A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). 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.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Lexus RX450hL A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

RX450hL A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2019 Lexus RX450hL A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the 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 all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2019 Lexus RX450hL A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Lexus RX450hL A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Lexus RX450hL A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2019 Lexus RX450hL? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your RX450hL.

2019 Lexus RX450hL A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my RX450hL 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 RX450hL 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your RX450hL's A/C system.
  •  Does the A/C in my RX450hL use gas?  The air conditioning system in your RX450hL 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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my RX450hL to smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your RX450hL 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 RX450hL’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 RX450hL is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
