Do not confuse the air conditioning , heating and ventilation your Toyota 1000. Heating and air conditioning are mechanisms that offer the possibility of lowering or increasing the temperature of the air. The first thanks to the heat generated from the engine, and the second with the help of a fluid refrigerant . Your ventilation is all the channels and devices that allow air to reach the interior of the vehicle. The main component is the kicker that emits air into your vehicle. If the air barely arrives or not at all, it is probably a ventilation malfunction. We will discover in this article how ventilation works, in order to better perceive the problems and understand the technique to solve them.
How a ventilation works on a Toyota 1000
The ventilation is first used to circulate the air inside the passenger compartment of your Toyota 1000. For the blower, it is generally made up of a resistance, a turbine, and a motor. . The lower the integral resistance of the electrical system, the faster the turbine turns. By turning the knob in the passenger compartment, the resistance is lowered.
Toyota 1000: common ventilation problems
Dirty air ducts
If the ventilation turns on but little air is entering the passenger compartment of your Toyota 1000, it is plausible that these air flaps are blocked. Using a screwdriver flat, do not hesitate to remove the covers of the air vents. Just take a look in it if these are blocked. If this is what happens, do not hesitate to clean them, as well as the valves.
Dirty cabin filter
If you smell fumes and the ventilation lacks power, the problem is probably with the cabin filter in your Toyota 1000. It is clogged and piling up bacteria as time goes by. It is completely normal that this one is dirty, it is there to clarify the air which reaches you. There is no instruction from the manufacturer on when to replace it. We only advise you to remove it, check its condition. If the latter is completely clogged, it will need to be replaced.
Resistance of the blower HS
If the Toyota 1000's ventilation controls ever work poorly, or not at all, it is probably related to resistance. This resistance is used to increase the voltage to amplify the speed of the turbine. A strange malfunction of the ventilation can be due to a malfunction of resistance. This little microchip is difficult to troubleshoot. It needs to be replaced.
HS blower motor
There are two fairly common issues with the kicker. The brushes can be damaged. Over time, they can deteriorate and generate false contact. The kicker may spin at random, or not work at all. It is also possible that the malfunction is due to bearings fan motor. If ever the ventilation whistles, like a rusty mechanism, it is possible that its bearings need lubrication.
