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 TPI and SGTPI of A/C amplifier connector.
Preparation
- Remove center cluster module control with connectors still connected.
- 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.
- NG: Go to step 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.
- 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.- NG: Replace air inlet control servomotor.
- OK: Go to step 3 .
- Check harness and connector between A/C amplifier and air inlet 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.
