How To Troubleshoot Hyundai Car AC

Many a driver consider comfort to be one of the most important factors in any car, especially if they go on long drives or even road trips. One of the most important parts of any vehicle that contributes to a more comfortable driving experience is the AC, which keeps your car at the right temperature even on those blisteringly hot summer days. Hence, keeping your AC in great condition is crucial to ensuring your rides stay smooth sailing. Continue reading for our step-by-step guide on how to troubleshoot your Hyundai car AC!

Is It Time to Troubleshoot Your Hyundai Car AC?

Unfortunately, the longer you leave an AC problem unattended, the more severe the issue becomes, leading to pricier and more time-consuming repair processes. Thus, if you ever suspect your Hyundai car AC to be experiencing problems, the best thing to do is to nip the problem in the bud and stop it from worsening.

If you're experiencing trouble with using your Hyundai car AC, even if it isn't completely broken, it could be one of the common warning signs that your Hyundai car AC may require troubleshooting. For example, if your Hyundai vehicle's AC is only moderately cool even when you crank the coolness up to maximum capacity, your AC could be experiencing a serious problem.

Troubleshooting Your Hyundai Car AC

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to troubleshoot your Hyundai car's AC for any issues:

  • The most common reason for your AC blowing warm air is due to a malfunctioning condenser fan. Hence, always check under the hood first.
  • Locate the condenser and condenser fan.
  • Start your car and turn on the AC.
  • See if the condenser fan runs. If it doesn't, your condenser fan is malfunctioning.
  • Check the radiator fan as well.
  • Check the voltage at the fans with a multimeter. If there's voltage at the fans, it's most likely a bad fan.
  • If the fan is receiving voltage, it's most likely a wiring problem, which is a problem that should be left to the experts.

When in doubt, don't hesitate to contact your local Hyundai technicians about the issue. By reaching out to an expert earlier, you can prevent your AC issues from worsening, saving you potentially hundreds of dollars.

Car AC Maintenance Tips

To keep their Hyundai cars comfortable to drive in for hours at a time, drivers need to devote time and effort toward the maintenance of their car AC. Here are some of the best practices we recommend drivers follow:

  • Swap out your cabin filter for a new one at least once a year, ensuring that clean air is being circulated inside your car.
  • Even when you're not driving your automobile, try to leave the AC system running for at least five to ten minutes per month to keep it in good operating condition.
