colinallcars Posted September 8, 2024 Share Posted September 8, 2024 Greetings, we just acquired a CX90 vehicle and are now encountering a shrill noise when deactivating the air conditioning system. I will attempt to record a video and share it at the earliest opportunity. However, I would want to enquire if anybody else has encountered this issue and if there is a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) available to address it. I was quite aback by the presence of this feature, considering it was absent in our pilfered CX90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulh2602601 Posted September 8, 2024 Share Posted September 8, 2024 Is the sound localised to a certain region? (What is happening behind the scenes?) Which seating arrangement are you referring to: the front row, the middle row, or the back row? Is there just one air vent or are there several air vents?

colinallcars Posted September 8, 2024 Author Share Posted September 8, 2024 The sound is audible in the vicinity of the car's front, but not within the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinallcars Posted September 8, 2024 Author Share Posted September 8, 2024 The sound is akin to a "whine," similar to the sound produced by a microphone. Extremely high-pitched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulh2602601 Posted September 8, 2024 Share Posted September 8, 2024 If there is a persistent noise like a continuous whistling tone, it is possible that a vacuum line is experiencing a leak or a loose seal. I own the inline 6 engine, which is equipped with mild hybrid technology, and I do not perceive any noise while the engine is idling or when the air conditioner is turned off. If you have a plug-in hybrid, I am uncertain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinallcars Posted September 8, 2024 Author Share Posted September 8, 2024 We own a high-output MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle) that exhibits intermittent behaviour. Specifically, after driving for a certain period and thereafter shutting off the air conditioning, the vehicle emits a loud sound that gradually diminishes over time.

allmightyASTON Posted September 8, 2024 Share Posted September 8, 2024 Inspect the pulley located on the front of the air conditioning system, outside the vehicle's hood, and determine whether it emits a high-pitched noise when it comes to a stop. I haven't examined it to see whether it has its own belt as well. In my opinion, they are the most basic items to delete initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
