Can I make my Yaris air conditioner colder?

For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

What’s making my Yaris 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.

How does my A/C system get a 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 Yaris’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does my Yaris A/C use gas?

The air conditioning system in your Yaris 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 Yaris smell 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 Yaris creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Yaris’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 Yaris’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

A/C Service for Toyota Yaris

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. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Toyota Yaris A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Toyota vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2008 Toyota. Bring your Toyota Yaris to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2008 Toyota Yaris A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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 Yaris A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your Yaris

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2008 Toyota Yaris, 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). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Toyota's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, 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 2008 Toyota Yaris A/C recharges.

Other Toyota Yaris A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Toyota Yaris A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2008 Toyota Yaris? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Yaris — without all the sweat puddles!
