On-Vehicle Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lexus LX 470. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INSPECT CONDENSER FINS FOR BLOCKAGE OR DAMAGE 

    If the fins are clogged, wash them with water and dry with compressed air.

    NOTE: Be careful not to damage the fins. 

    If the fins are bent, straighten them with a screwdriver or pliers.

  2. INSPECT CONDENSER AND FITTINGS FOR LEAKAGE 

    Using a gas leak detector, check for leaks of refrigerant.

    If there is a leakage, check the tightening torque at the joints.
