Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Toyota Prius. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Check voltage between terminals TP and SGTP of A/C amplifier connector.
Preparation
- Remove center cluster module control with connectors still connected.
- Turn ignition switch ON.
Check: Change the set temperature to activate the air mix damper, and measure the voltage between terminals TP and SGTP of A/C amplifier connector each time when the set temperature is changed. If OK , See Fig 2.

NOTE: As the set temperature increases, the voltage decreases gradually without interruption.- NG: Go to step 2 .
- If OK , proceed to next circuit inspection shown on problem symptoms table. See PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE . However, if DTC 31 or 41 is displayed, check and replace A/C amplifier.
- Check air mix damper position sensor.
PREPARATION:
Remove air mix control servomotor. See step 2 of INSPECTION .
Check: Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of air mix control servomotor connector. If OK , resistance : 4.2 - 7.8 kΩ.
Check: While operating air mix control servomotor as shown in DTC 41: AIR MIX CONTROL SERVOMOTOR CIRCUIT , measure resistance between terminals 2 and 3 of air mix control servomotor connector.
NOTE: As the air mix control servomotor moves from cool side to hot side, the resistance decreases gradually without interruption.If OK , see Fig 4.

- NG: Replace air mix control servomotor.
- If OK , go to step 3.
- Check harness and connector between A/C amplifier and air mix control servomotor
. See
HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION
.
- NG: Repair or replace harness or connector.
- If OK , check and replace A/C amplifier.
