Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools: socket set, multimeter, OBD-II scanner, screwdrivers, and replacement parts.
Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Replace Cabin Air Filter

Locate the cabin air filter compartment (usually behind the glove box).
Remove the screws or clips securing the glove box and gently lower it.
Remove the old cabin air filter and check the housing for debris.
Insert a new cabin air filter, ensuring it is oriented correctly.
Reinstall the glove box and secure it.

3. Inspect and Replace Blower Motor

Locate the blower motor (typically found under the dashboard on the passenger side).
Disconnect the electrical connector from the blower motor.
Remove the blower motor assembly by unscrewing the mounting screws.
Inspect the blower motor for any signs of damage or wear.
If faulty, replace with a new blower motor, reinstall it, and reconnect the electrical connector.

4. Check and Recharge AC System

Connect a refrigerant gauge set to the AC service ports to check refrigerant levels.
If low, evacuate the system using an AC recovery machine.
Recharge the AC system with the appropriate refrigerant (R-134a or R-1234yf as specified).
Monitor the system for leaks and ensure proper pressure levels.
