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.
  1. READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn Techstream ON.
    3. Select the item below in the Data List, and read the value displayed on Techstream.

      Air conditioning amplifier 

      DATA LIST - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER

      Item Measurement Item / Display (Range) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note

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

    C: REPLACE 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 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 -10°C (14°F) 7.30 to 9.10 kΩ
      1 - 2 -5°C (23°F) 5.65 to 6.95 kΩ
      1 - 2 0°C (32°F) 4.40 to 5.35 kΩ
      1 - 2 5°C (41°F) 3.40 to 4.15 kΩ
      1 - 2 10°C (50°F) 2.70 to 3.25 kΩ
      1 - 2 15°C (59°F) 2.14 to 2.58 kΩ
      1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 1.71 to 2.05 kΩ
      1 - 2 25°C (77°F) 1.38 to 1.64 kΩ
      1 - 2 30°C (86°F) 1.11 to 1.32 kΩ
      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 the graph ).

    NG: REPLACE NO. 1 COOLER THERMISTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (NO. 1 COOLER THERMISTOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER) 
    1. Disconnect the E33 No. 1 cooler thermistor connector.
    2. Disconnect the E36 amplifier connector.

    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      E33-1 - E36-22 (TE) Below 1 Ω
      E33-2 - E36-23 (SG-3) Below 1 Ω
      E33-1 - Body ground 1 MΩ or higher
      E33-2 - Body ground 1 MΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER
