Issues with 2020 Mazda 2 Diesel's AC and Interior Solar Sensor

Air conditioning blows warm air

Insufficient Cooling/Heating

Hey gearheads, I'm having a bit of a puzzle with my 2020 Mazda 2 Diesel. The AC's been blowing warm air only and there's just not enough heating or cooling. I'm suspecting there's some kind of a malfunction with the interior solar sensor. Anyone faced a similar issue and got it sorted at their workshop? Would appreciate your insights, cheers!

Hey! Not an expert here, but I had a similar issue with my 2018 Mazda 3 Hatchback, so a bit of experience under the belt. Turned out my problem was a defective Wiring harness, which cost me a cool 155€ to fix at my local workshop. Before we jump down the rabbit hole though, could you tell me if you've seen any warning lights on your dashboard or any other unusual signs? It might help me to give you a more detailed answer. Cheers!

Hey there, Thanks for pitching in! No carrots yet from those dashboard warning lights. And nothing unusual going on except for the Sauna and Ice age episodes in the cabin- what a rollercoaster, right? Last service was at 253110 KM, but they didn’t spot anything amiss then. Hoping it's not as costly as the Wiring harness issue you faced. Cheers!

Hey again, Well, the mystery continues, eh? So, if there're no warning lights, assuming your dashboard isn't in its own world (happens sometimes), that can rule out quite a few serious problems. Before considering the solar sensor, it might be worth checking a few other things. Have you had a look at the AC gas level? Low gas can result in a warm blow. Also, an overcharged system can do the same. Trust me on this, it's a delicate balance! Also, in rides like ours, the blend air door could be the tricky guy. It controls the flow of the air, hot or cold. When stuck, our little metal can be the cause of both overcooling or overheat. A techie at a local place can check this for you without ripping you off too much. Hope that helps a bit more! Cheers!

Hey! Appreciate the help, truly. I was eyeballing that solar sensor too much, it seems. Looks like my ride needs a bit of TLC from a techie as you've mentioned. I'll get the AC gas and the blend air door checked out. Fingers crossed it won't cost me an arm and a leg cause I've kinda grown attached to those, haha! Will keep you posted on what happens cheers!
