Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Compressor lock sensor circuit
Description
This sensor sends 1 pulse per engine revolution to the air conditioning amplifier. If the ratio of the compressor speed divided by the engine speed is smaller than a predetermined value, the air conditioning amplifier turns the compressor off, and the indicator blinks at approximately 1 second intervals.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
- Check air conditioning amplifier (lock signal)
- Remove the air conditioning amplifier with its connectors still connected.
- Check the waveform of the amplifier connector.
Ok:
waveform is as shown in the illustration.
- Inspect compressor lock sensor
- Disconnect the b47 compressor lock sensor connector.
- Measure the resistance of the sensor.
Standard resistance
- Check wire harness (compressor lock sensor - air conditioning amplifier)
- Disconnect the b47 compressor lock sensor connector.
- Disconnect the e37 amplifier connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

Pressure sensor circuit
Description
This dtc is output when the refrigerant pressure is either extremely low
(0.19 Mpa [2.0 Kgf/cm2, 28 psi]
or less) or extremely high (3.14 Mpa [32.0 Kgf/cm2, 455 psi] or more). The ...

Remove the radiator reservoir cap.
Caution:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not
remove the radiator reservoir cap while the
engine and radiator are still hot. Thermal

steam to b ...
Evaporator temperature sensor circuit
Description
The no. 1 Cooler thermistor (evaporator temperature sensor) is installed on
the evaporator in the air
conditioning unit to detect the temperature of the cooled air that has passed
through the evaporator and to
control the air conditioner. It sends signals to the air conditioni ...
