Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for HV Model): No Warm Air Comes Out; 2019 MY Avalon HV [04/2018 - 08/2019]

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 factors 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
  • Quick heater assembly malfunction
  • Heater radiator unit sub-assembly malfunction
  • Flow shutting valve (water by-pass hose assembly) malfunction

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK FOR DTC

(a) Check for DTCs.

Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes

OK:

SFI system DTCs are not output.

NG

GO TO SFI SYSTEM

OK

2.

READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

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

(e) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.

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).
