A/C system problems with the Toyota Estima

Hello, I own a 2011 Toyota Estima, gasoline engine, with 66000 km on the odometer. I've been experiencing problems with the air conditioning system: it doesn't turn on, blows hot air, and doesn't cool or heat properly. I went to a service center, where they recharged the system with freon, but the problem persists. I was told it could be a problem with the speed sensor. Could this be the cause of the A/C problems? Has anyone else experienced a similar situation?

Summary of the thread

A 2011 Toyota Estima owner is experiencing issues with the air conditioning system, which fails to turn on and only blows hot air despite a recent freon recharge. A service center suggested a potential problem with the speed sensor. A mechanic advises checking if the A/C compressor is engaging, inspecting the compressor clutch relay and fuse, and ensuring the compressor clutch is functioning properly. The owner is guided to locate the A/C clutch relay and fuse in the fuse box under the hood for further inspection.

Check if the A/C compressor is engaging when you turn on the air conditioning. If it's not, it could be an issue with the A/C compressor clutch or a related electrical problem. Listen for a clicking sound when you switch the A/C on, which indicates the compressor is engaging. If you don't hear it, inspect the compressor clutch relay and fuse. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you have any updates.

Hi. I can start the AC and the electric fans start, but I can't tell if the compressor clutch is engaging because this compressor model always spins, whether the AC is on or off.

Check if the center part of the compressor pulley is engaging when the A/C is turned on. If it's not, inspect the A/C compressor clutch relay and fuse for any issues. If the relay and fuse are fine, it might be a problem with the clutch itself. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you have any updates.

Hi. Can you tell me which and where the AC clutch relay and fuse are located? Thank you!

For changing the language on your Toyota Estima's display, you typically need to access the settings menu on the infotainment system. Look for a "Setup" or "Settings" button on the dashboard or touchscreen. Once in the settings menu, navigate to the language options and select your preferred language. If the menu is in Japanese, you might need to use a translation app to help identify the correct options. If you're unable to change the language, consider consulting the vehicle's manual or contacting a Toyota dealership for assistance. Let me know if you have any further questions!

If you need help locating the A/C clutch relay and fuse, they are usually found in the fuse box under the hood. Check the fuse box cover for a diagram that indicates the specific location of the A/C relay and fuse. If you're unsure, refer to your vehicle's manual for detailed information. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you have any updates.
