A/C Repair Service for Your Toyota Highlander

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Toyota Highlander?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Toyota vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2006 Toyota A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Toyota Highlander

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2006 Toyota Highlander’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 Toyota Highlander A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Highlander A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2006 Toyota Highlander, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Toyota guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2006 Toyota Highlander A/C recharges.

Common Toyota Highlander A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Toyota Highlander A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2006 Toyota Highlander? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Highlander’s A/C!

Questions About 2006 Toyota Highlander A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Highlander 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 Highlander 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 Highlander’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my Highlander A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your Highlander 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 the A/C in my Highlander smell like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Highlander to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why won’t my Highlander’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Highlander may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
