Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model with Automatic Air Conditioning System): Cooling is Poor; 2019 - 2022 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [06/2018 - 09/2022] |
DESCRIPTION
If the cooling effect of the air conditioning system is weak, the following factors may be the cause.
Symptom
|
Factor
|
-
Cooling effectiveness is poor
-
Cooling response is slow
|
-
ECO drive mode function (air flow volume is restricted due to ECO drive mode being selected)
-
Compressor assembly with pulley malfunction
-
Refrigerant volume (high)
-
Refrigerant volume (low)
-
Clogged cooler condenser assembly fins
-
Cooling fan system malfunction
-
Mechanical locking of damper and damper link
-
Automatic light control sensor malfunction
-
High inlet air temperature
-
Harness or connector
|
PROCEDURE
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / Trouble Codes.

CHECK ECO MODE SETTING
|
(a) Check if the ECO mode indicator is off.
OK:
The ECO mode indicator is off.
OK

3.
|
CHECK ECO MODE CONTROL OPERATION
|
(a) Operate the ECO switch assembly (air conditioning control assembly) and check that the ECO mode indicator turns off and the blower speed reduction is canceled.
HINT:
-
When ECO mode control is operating, the air conditioning amplifier assembly controls the air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency. Therefore, explain to the customer that, when ECO mode control is operating, the blower speed will be reduced.
Control
|
Outline
|
Blower Control
|
When the air conditioning system is in AUTO mode, the blower speed will be reduced to a certain speed. Additionally, if warm-up control is operating, the blower speed will be further reduced.
|
Air Inlet Control
|
If the ambient temperature is a certain value or more, the air inlet mode will be changed to recirculation mode.
|
-
In some situations, ECO mode control may not operate even though it is enabled.
