How do I make my CX-9 air conditioning colder?

Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.

What’s making my CX-9 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?

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 CX-9's A/C system.

Does my CX-9 A/C run on gas?

The air conditioning system in your CX-9 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 does it mean if the A/C in my CX-9 smells 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 CX-9 to have a vinegar-like smell.

Why does my CX-9’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your CX-9 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

Mazda CX-9 A/C Repair

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Mazda CX-9 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Mazda vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2022 Mazda. Bring your Mazda CX-9 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2022 Mazda CX-9’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. 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 Mazda CX-9 A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

CX-9 A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2022 Mazda CX-9, we’ll also do 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 Mazda’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2022 Mazda CX-9 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mazda CX-9 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mazda CX-9 A/C problem you may encounter. 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 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 2022 Mazda CX-9? 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 CX-9 — without all the sweat puddles!
