Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Compressor solenoid circuit (2005/11-2006/01)
Description
In this circuit, the compressor receives a refrigerant compression demand signal from the air conditioning amplifier. Based on this signal, the compressor changes the degree of refrigerant compression.
