The issue though I can press the AC button on and off within a second and the AC starts working again instantly! I do not think it is a compressor, but I can not find a blog that discusses this particular problem.
I am hoping that I will get a good answer here to tell me what to look for or what to mention when I take it to an AC mechanic. I want to kinda know what I am talking about.
Thanks to all that comment.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS: Air Conditioning ECU has a self-diagnosis function. It stores any operation failures in the air conditioning system memory in the form of DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code).
There are two methods for reading DTCs. One is to use a hand-held tester, and the other is to read the DTC on the heater control panel switch.
DTCs are shown on the center display or multi display of the multi-information display, and on the hand-held tester.
Many thanks
Good luck.
I have a 2006 Toyota Avalon . The heat and defrost work great on the drivers side but not on the passengers side.I have fan but no heat on the pass. side but on drivers side. Where do I look to see why theres no heat to the pass. side. I checked anti freeze level and changed the in cab filter behind glove box. Under the drivers side console I see a elec. unit with a plastic gear that goes in to the air control box the gear doesn't move when I change the unit from one setting to the other
