Cooling is Poor [10/2018 - 07/2022]: Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus UX 250h, 2023 Lexus UX 250h, 2022 Lexus UX 250h, 2021 Lexus UX 250h, and 2020 Lexus UX 250h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK FOR DTC 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / Trouble Codes.
    5. Check for DTCs.

      Body Electrical > Main Body > Trouble Codes 

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      B1244 is not output A
      B1244 is output B

    Result: 

    GO TO DTC B1244. Refer to  DTC B1244: Light Sensor Circuit [10/2018 - 07/2022] 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK ECO MODE SETTING 
    1. Check if the ECO mode indicator is off.

      OK

      The ECO mode indicator is off.

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  4

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK ECO MODE CONTROL OPERATION 
    1. Operate the ECO switch (satellite switch set) 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.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      ECO mode indicator turns off and blower speed reduction is canceled A
      ECO mode indicator turns off, but the blower speed reduction is not canceled B
      ECO mode indicator does not turn off

    Result: 

    GO TO ECO Switch Circuit. Refer to  ECO Switch Circuit [10/2018 - 07/2022]  

    Result:

      Item Condition
      A/C switch On
      Ambient temperature* 0 to 49°C (32 to 120°F)
      Blower speed HI

      *: If the ambient temperature is not within the range shown, do not perform this check.

      Result

      Result Amount of Refrigerant
      Refrigerant correct Correct
      Refrigerant shortage Insufficient

      OK

      "Refrigerant correct" is displayed on the Techstream.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR REFRIGERANT LEAK. Refer to  REPLACEMENT [10/2018 - 07/2022]
