Do not confuse the air conditioning , heating and ventilation of your Toyota Pod. Heating and air conditioning are mechanisms that will decrease or increase the temperature. The first through the heat produced by the engine, and the second with the help of a fluid refrigerant . Your ventilation is all of the circuits and systems that will allow air to enter the passenger compartment. The essential element will be kicker which sends air into your cabin. In the event that the air arrives little or not at all, it is probably a ventilation problem. We will see thanks to this post how a ventilation works, to be able to better identify the concerns and understand the technique to resolve it.ventilation-problem-Toyota-Pod

How a ventilation works on a Toyota Pod

First of all, ventilation is used to circulate the air inside the passenger compartment of your Toyota Pod. As for the blower, the latter generally consists of a resistor, a turbine, and a motor. The lower the integral resistance of the circuit, the faster the turbine turns. By turning the knob in the passenger compartment, the resistance is thus reduced.

Toyota Pod: common ventilation issues

Dirty air ducts

If ventilation never works but little air arrives in the interior of your Toyota Pod, it is possible that your air shutters are blocked. Using a screwdriver flat, do not hesitate to remove the air flap valves. You just have to look inside if they are blocked. When this is the case, do not hesitate to scour them, but also the shutters.

Dirty cabin filter

If you perceive effluxes and your ventilation is poor, the problem must certainly come from the cabin filter of your Toyota Pod. It gets dirty and accumulates bacteria as time goes by. It is completely normal for it to be dirty, it is used to purify the air that reaches you. There is no manufacturer's instruction as to when to change it. We only advise you to remove it, look at its condition. If it is completely dirty, it must be changed.

Resistance of the blower HS

If the ventilation adjustment of your Toyota Pod ever goes wrong, if at all, it is certainly related to the resistance. This resistance is used to raise the tension to increase the speed of this turbine. An inconsistent malfunction in your ventilation is probably due to a resistance problem. This little microchip is difficult to troubleshoot. We will have to change it.

HS blower motor

There are two fairly regular concerns about the kicker. The brushes can be damaged. Over time, they will wear out and cause false contact. Your fan may spin randomly, and even stop working at all. It is also possible that the problem comes from bearings of the fan motor. If the ventilation whistles, like a rusty mechanic, its bearings may lack lubrication.
