When did Toyota switch to R134a?
Yes, it uses R134A. I think that R134A was started to be used in some 1993 model Toyota’s. I know that it is in my ’93 Truck. By ’94 I think they had changed all of the AC units over to R134A.
How do you know if your truck AC needs to be recharged?
Perhaps the easiest way to identify an issue with your air conditioner is if your vehicle is blowing warm or hot air. If your vehicle is too low on refrigerant, the evaporator core will not reach the optimal temperature for cooling. The air may start out cold, then blow warm. Or, it may never cool down at all.
