Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Compressor circuit
Description
When the a/c switch is turned on, the magnetic clutch on signal is sent from
the air conditioning
amplifier. Then the mg clt relay turns on to operate the magnetic clutch.
Wiring diagram

Inspection procedure
- Perform active test by intelligent tester (a/c mag clutch)
- 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 active test and then
check that the compressor magnetic relay operates.


- Inspect fuse (ecu-ig1)
- Remove the ecu-ig1 fuse from the instrument panel
junction block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuse.
Standard resistance:
below 1 

- Inspect magnetic clutch relay (marking: mg clt)

- Remove the magnetic clutch relay from the engine room
no. 1 Relay block.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.
Standard resistance


- Check wire harness (air conditioning amplifier - battery)

- Disconnect the e37 amplifier connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
Standard voltage


- Check air conditioning amplifier (mgc voltage)

- Remove the air conditioning amplifier with its connectors
still connected.
- Measure the voltage of the connector.
Standard voltage


- Check magnetic clutch

- Disconnect the b47 magnetic clutch connector.
- Connect the battery's positive (+) lead to terminal 3 of
the magnetic clutch and the negative (-) lead to the body
ground.
Ok:
magnetic clutch is engaged.

Repair or replace wire harness (magnetic clutch - ecu-ig1)

Calibration
Description
After replacing components relating to the vsc or
performing "front wheel alignment adjustment",
clear and read the sensor calibration data.
Follow the chart to perform calibration.
Clear zero point calibration data (when using
intelligent tester)

Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or
cause a loss of handling control.
Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter ...
Cold start
Description
The electronic throttle control system (etcs) controls the engine idling
speed. The etcs operates the
throttle actuator to open and close the throttle valve, and adjusts the intake
air amount to achieve the
target idling speed.
In addition, the ecm retards the ignition timi ...
