Air conditioning in Ford S Max 2009 only blows warm air: experience and advice wanted

Insufficient Cooling/Heating

Air conditioning blows warm air

Hi guys! I need your help with my 2009 Ford S Max with a gasoline engine and 83,691 km mileage. In the last few days, I have noticed that my air conditioner is only emitting warm air and the heating/cooling is no longer working properly. I think this could be related to the faulty signal from the air quality sensor. Have any of you ever had a similar problem? What was your experience after visiting the workshop? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2012 Ford Galaxy. It turned out that the sensor wasn't faulty, it was the wire/cable connecting the sensor. On my last visit to the garage they had to replace the cable and everything worked fine again after that. It wasn't the worst problem, but it should be fixed to avoid major damage. Hope this helps you! Best regards.

Hi, thanks for the helpful tip, that actually sounds very similar to the problem I'm currently having with my S Max. Do you happen to remember how much the whole thing cost you at the garage? And have there been any other problems with the air conditioning since then or was that all sorted? Best regards!

Hello again! So, after I went to the mechanic, the fault with the air quality sensor signal was fixed. If you're asking about costs, the repair for the defective cable from the sensor cost €95. Since then, my air conditioning system has been running really well, no more problems. All in all, it's a trifle that needs to be repaired, but after that you can drive again without any worries! Best regards back!

Thank you very much for the quick reply! 95 € sounds fair. I'm reassured to hear that you didn't experience any further problems afterwards. I think I will take my S Max to the garage as soon as possible to have this checked and fixed. I really appreciate your help! Best regards and thank you again!
