Freon smell and heater not working as good as it used to
Late last summer, my wife and I began noticing that there was a strong Freon odour coming air conditioner when ever we had it set to recirculate air and the blower control knob set to position two. And recently we've also noticed that the heater takes much longer than it once did to warm the car in the morning. Any ideas why this might be so. and is this problem likely to be something covered under warranty?
Thanks in advance for your replies, Shane. |

Did you check and see if your Cabin Air Filter in the blower housing is clogged up or not there?
If it is not there {seems many Yaris's shipped with out one in the housing} did you suck some foreign material into the blower housing and it has restricted air flow? http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...ight=cabin+air |

The cabin air filter was changed recently, so I don't think that should a problem. |

If you pull the corner of the carpet away from the big white air box, next to the gas pedal, you will see the AC ECU. If it has one connector, it is not equipped with the PTC heater, and if it has two it is.
