Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual: Air Vent Temperature does not Change and Right Vent is Different from Left and Vice Versa (Same Left/Right Temperature Setting)

Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual / Vehicle Interior / Heating / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System(for Gasoline Model) / Air Vent Temperature does not Change and Right Vent is Different from Left and Vice Versa (Same Left/Right Temperature Setting)

DESCRIPTION

If the temperature of the air that blows from the left and right front registers differs, even though the same temperature is set for both sides, the following factors may be the cause.

Symptom

Factor

Temperature of outlet air is cooler on left or right side

  • (when same temperature set for both sides)
  • Cooler compressor assembly (compressor solenoid) malfunction
  • Refrigerant volume (low)
  • Mechanical locking of damper and damper link
  • Automatic light control sensor malfunction
  • Harness or connector

Temperature of outlet air is warmer on left or right side

  • (when same temperature set for both sides)
  • Mechanical locking of damper and damper link
  • Blockage in heater radiator unit sub-assembly
  • Harness or connector
