Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for TMC Made, and Gasoline Model, with Manual Air Conditioning System for Electrical Control Type): Cooling is Poor; 2023 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [09/2022 - 11/2022] |
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 mode control of air conditioning system is enabled
-
Compressor with pulley assembly malfunction
-
Refrigerant volume (high)
-
Refrigerant volume (low)
-
Clogged cooler condenser assembly fins
-
Cooling fan system malfunction
-
Mechanical locking of damper and damper link
-
High inlet air temperature
-
Harness or connector
|
PROCEDURE
1.
|
CHECK ECO MODE SETTING
|
(a) Confirm that ECO drive mode is set to off.
HINT:
When the ECO drive mode is set to ON, the air conditioning amplifier assembly performs minimal air conditioning control in order to promote the improvement of fuel economy. Ensure that the customer understands that the airflow volume will be decreased compared to normal operation.

HINT:
*1: This inspection can be judged correctly only if the ambient temperature is within a range of 0 to 49°C (32 to 120°F). Therefore, postpone the test if the temperature is low.
*2: This inspection can be judged correctly only if the air inlet temperature is within a range of 25 to 35°C (77 to 95°F). Therefore, postpone the test if the temperature is out of range.
(b) Using the GTS, check the amount of refrigerant.

NOTICE:
If the conditions for the inspection are not met, "Refrigerant incorrect" will be displayed on the GTS. Confirm the conditions of the inspection and perform the check again.
HINT:
-
If the amount of refrigerant is insufficient, "Refrigerant shortage" is displayed on the GTS and the indicator light on the A/C switch turns off.
-
When performing this inspection, a DTC will not be output even if "Refrigerant shortage" is displayed on the GTS.
