A/C Service for Scion iQ

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Scion iQ A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Scion vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2012 Scion iQ A/C systems. Bring your Scion iQ to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2012 Scion iQ’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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 Scion iQ 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.

iQ A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2012 Scion iQ, we’ll also do 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 Scion’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, 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 2012 Scion iQ A/C recharges.

Other Scion iQ A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Scion iQ 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 suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2012 Scion iQ? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your iQ.

2012 Scion iQ A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my iQ 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 iQ 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 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 iQ’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 iQ rely on gas? iQ air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • Why does my iQ have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your iQ 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 vehicle have to be moving for my iQ’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 iQ’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
