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 TPI and SGTPI of A/C amplifier connector. 

    Preparation

    1. Remove center cluster module control with connectors still connected.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.

      Check:  Press REC/FRS switch to change air inlet between fresh and recirculation air and measure voltage between terminals TPI and SGTPI of A/C amplifier when the air inlet servomotor operates. If OK  , see Fig 2.

      NOTE: As the air inlet control servomotor is moved from REC side to FRS side, 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 32 or 42 is displayed, check and replace A/C amplifier.
  2. Check air inlet damper position sensor. 

    PREPARATION:  Remove air inlet control servomotor. See step 4 of BLOWER UNIT DISASSEMBLY .

    Check:  Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of air inlet control servomotor connector. If OK  , resistance : 4.2 - 7.8 kΩ.

    Check:  While operating air inlet control servomotor as in the procedure DTC 42: AIR INLET CONTROL SERVOMOTOR CIRCUIT , measure resistance between terminals 2 and 3 of air inlet control servomotor connector.

    NOTE: As the air inlet control servomotor is moved from REC side to FRS side, the resistance decreases gradually without interruption.
    1. NG:  Replace air inlet control servomotor.
    2. OK: Go to step   3 . 
  3. Check harness and connector between A/C amplifier and air inlet 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.
