Vehicle Information
Condition
A/C, No or Low Output
The cooling performance of the air conditioning is perceived as too low.
Tip:
Only vehicles with Denso air conditioning are affected.
Technical Background
The Evaporator Vent Temperature Sensor -G263- does not measure evaporator temperature in the air conditioning unit; as a result, the evaporator
freezes over and air flow drops. The result is reduced cooling performance.

Service
Before replacing Evaporator Vent Temperature Sensor -G263- check cooling performance of the A/C system so that other causes can be ruled out.
