Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lexus ES 330. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INSPECT HEATER CONTROL HOUSING SUB-ASSY(TPP, SG-4) 
    1. Remove the A/C amplifier with connectors still connected.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Change the set temperature to activate the air mix damper and measure the voltage between terminals TPP and SG-4 of A/C amplifier.

      Voltage: 

      MAX. COOL: 3.5 to 4.5 V 

      MAX. HOT: 0.5 to 1.8 V 

    HINT: As the set temperature increases, the voltage decreases gradually without interruption.

    B: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE (SEE  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE   ) 

    C: CHECK AND REPLACE HEATER CONTROL HOUSING SUB-ASSY 

    A: Go to next step. 

  2. INSPECT AIRMIX DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSY 
    1. Remove the air mix damper servo sub-assy.
    2. Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of air mix damper servo sub-assy connector.

      Resistance: 4.2 to 7.8 kΩ 

    3. While operating air mix damper servo sub-assy as shown in the procedure on PRE-CHECK  , measure resistance between terminals 1 and 3 of air mix damper servo sub-assy.

      Resistance: 

      MAX. COOL: 3.4 to 6.2 kΩ 

      MAX. HOT: 0.8 to 1.6 kΩ 

    HINT: As the air mix damper servo sub-assy moves from cool side to warm side, the resistance decreases gradually without interruption.

    NG: REPLACE AIRMIX DAMPER SERVO SUB-ASSY 

    OK: Go to next step. 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR(BETWEEN AIR MIX DAMPER POSITION SENSOR AND HEATER CONTROL HOUSING SUB-ASSY) 

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: CHECK AND REPLACE HEATER CONTROL HOUSING SUB-ASSY
