Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

INSPECT FUSE (HTR)
1. Remove the HTR fuse from the engine room No. 2 relay block.
2. Measure the resistance of the fuse.
  Standard resistance:
  
  Below 1 Ω
NG: REPLACE FUSE

OK: Go to next step

INSPECT HEATER RELAY (Marking: HTR)

Remove the heater relay from the instrument panel junction block.
