Just another heads up.... For the next 8 days, Serra Toyota is having another parts sale. This time, 25% off with free shipping and no sales tax. If you're in need of a complete master cylinder with accumulator and pump, this is the time. This is the best price I have ever seen!

It's already out. It turned back into a gas a long time ago.

Sounds like you got liquid in the pump when adding the refrigerant. Make sure the can is upright when filling, not laying down or upside down. Also, keep the motor at ~1500 rpms with A/C on max cool.

Sounds like your system is short cycling due to a low charge (likely caused by a leak). Your low side should never get below 40 psi, because at approximately 38psi, the low pressure safety cutoff switch will turn on and releases the clutch until the pressure rises above set pressure. This cycle...

What was the low side pressure during this time? What was the engine RPM? What was the approximate ambient temp? Is your drive to work stop and go, or on the highway? Sorry for so many questions..

Double post. Sorry...

Could be a few things... Condenser coil is partially clogged (it is almost 20 years old). Fan clutch needs attention/replacement. Charge is still low/still leaking. Charge is too high (doubtful, unless you added a few more cans). It would be a good idea to get a baseline of where you're at now...

Still low.

Your system is low. You should have 40-50 psi on the low side when the system is running. When the system is off and the the high and low sides have equalized, you should have well over 100psi on both sides (actual pressure dependent on ambient temp). High side should be 250-350 psi when...

SALE IS OVER Just a heads up for those needing a new master cylinder and are on the fence about spending the money. Serra Toyota is having a 4th of July sale for the next 7 days. 20% off parts with free shipping and no sales tax. You can get the complete master cylinder/pump/accumulator...

Well, I finally got around to digging into this and found a couple of things that make complete sense. It also perfectly explains the symptoms I was having. First off is the pressure switches. They were on the manifold block, as I suspected, but weren't what I expected. I expected to see a...

I replaced the motor in my 2003 LC with a 2004 Tundra motor. The only things I had to replace were the oil pan and oil filter adapter. Not bad at all...

I have already read that thread. It doesn't address my issue. Do you know where the pressure sensor and relief valve are located?

2003 LC with Traction control and VSC. Where is the accumulator pump pressure sensor located? Also, where is the high pressure relief valve located? I imagine they are both on the manifold block between the master cylinder and solenoid board, but would like to hear from someone that has actually...

Same here. My 2003 LC also has the 12/2022 calendar limit. I wonder how the current date was initially set at the factory...
