Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (EVAP FIN TEMP) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the intelligent tester main switch ON.
    3. Select the item below in the DATA LIST, and read the value displayed on the intelligent tester.

      Air conditioning amplifier

    A: GO TO NEXT STEP. 

  2. INSPECT NO. 1 COOLER THERMISTOR (EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR) 
    1. Remove the No. 1 cooler thermistor.
    2. Measure the resistance of the thermistor.

      Standard resistance 

      TERMINALS RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 -10°C (14°F) 7.30 to 9.10 k
      1 - 2 -5°C (23°F) 5.65 to 6.95 k
      1 - 2 0°C (32°F) 4.40 to 5.35 k
      1 - 2 5°C (41°F) 3.40 to 4.15 k
      1 - 2 10°C (50°F) 2.70 to 3.25 k
      1 - 2 15°C (59°F) 2.14 to 2.58 k
      1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 1.71 to 2.05 k
      1 - 2 25°C (77°F) 1.38 to 1.64 k
      1 - 2 30°C (86°F) 1.11 to 1.32 k
      NOTE:
      • Touching the thermistor even slightly may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the thermistor.
      • When measuring, the thermistor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

      HINT:

      As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see Fig 1).
