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.
- READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (EVAP FIN TEMP)
- Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the intelligent tester main switch ON.
- Select the item below in the DATA LIST, and read the value displayed on the intelligent tester.

A: GO TO NEXT STEP.
- INSPECT NO. 1 COOLER THERMISTOR (EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR)
- Remove the No. 1 cooler thermistor.
- Measure the resistance of the thermistor.
Standard resistance
TERMINALS RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester 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).
NG: REPLACE NO. 1 COOLER THERMISTOR
OK: REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS ASSEMBLY
