A/C Service for Mitsubishi Outlander

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat.

We know our way around Mitsubishi vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander A/C systems. Bring your Mitsubishi Outlander to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. 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. What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mitsubishi Outlander A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Mitsubishi Outlander

While your 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Mitsubishi's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Mitsubishi Outlander A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Mitsubishi Outlander A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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 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 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Outlander’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Outlander 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.
  • Why is my Outlander A/C blowing hot 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 can cause an A/C system 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 Outlander's A/C system.
  • Does the A/C in my Outlander rely on gas?  The air conditioning system in your Outlander 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 my Outlander have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? 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 Outlander to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Outlander’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Outlander is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
