How can I make my Outlander PHEV 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 Outlander PHEV A/C put out warm air?

If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.

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 Outlander PHEV’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 Outlander PHEV rely on gas?

The air conditioning system in your Outlander PHEV 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 Outlander PHEV smells like vinegar?

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 Outlander PHEV creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my Outlander PHEV’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Outlander PHEV’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Bring your Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 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.

Outlander PHEV A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV A/C system. We will also perform 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). Then, they’ll use Mitsubishi’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV A/C recharges.

Other Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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 you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. 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 Outlander PHEV — without all the sweat puddles!
