Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Automatic Air Conditioning System): No Warm Air Comes Out; 2018 - 2021 MY Camry [06/2017 - 08/2021]

No Warm Air Comes Out

DESCRIPTION

If cool air blows from the registers regardless of the temperature setting of the air conditioning system, the following suspected areas may be the cause.

Symptom

Factor
  • No warm air comes out

    (Blower control is normal)

  • Outlet air temperature does not increase (Blower control is normal)
  • Engine coolant temperature (low)
  • Refrigerant volume (low)
  • No. 1 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly malfunction
  • Warm-up control
  • Blockage in heater radiator unit sub-assembly
  • Flow shutting valve (water by-pass hose assembly)*
  • *: for A25A-FKS

READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List.

Coolant Temperature

Engine coolant temperature

Min.: -40°C (-40°F), Max.: 140°C (284°F)

75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F): After warming up

This is the engine coolant temperature.

HINT:

  • After warming up the engine, the engine coolant temperature will be 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F).
  • After a long soak, the engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient air temperature will be approximately equal.
  • If the value is -40°C (-40°F), or higher than 135°C (275°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.
  • Check if the engine overheats if the value indicated is higher than 135°C (275°F).
