No unusual sounds or engine changes before the AC failed. It happened abruptly. Is there a specific component to examine, maybe in the temperature control system? Could a defective pressure switch prevent the system from starting?

Sounds like what happened to mine. I took it to a workshop, and it was faulty valves within the AC system, apparently somewhat common. I wouldn't start tearing into things without proper tools. Take it to a trusted mechanic for proper AC diagnostics. It's faster and cheaper than guessing.

Thanks for confirming a similar experience. A professional diagnosis is best. I'll schedule an inspection. The mechanic found faulty valves. Repair cost will be 1000€.

I also own a Lexus NX and had a similar problem recently. The AC wouldn't activate. Did you notice any unusual noises or changes in the engine's performance before the AC failed? That might help pinpoint the problem.
