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.
  1. Check voltage between terminals TP and SGTP of A/C amplifier connector. 

    Preparation

    1. Remove center cluster module control with connectors still connected.
    2. 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.
      1. NG: Go to step   2 . 
      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.
  2. 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.

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