Toyota RAV4 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.

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 e36 amplifier connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

Terminals of ecu
Check power steering ecu
Hint:
Measurements cannot be performed on the c connector
side of the power steering ecu.
Measure the voltage and resistance of the
connectors.
If the result is not as specified, the ecu may have a
malfunction. ...
Diagnosis system
Description
Air conditioning system data and the diagnostic
trouble codes (dtcs) can be read through the
data link connector 3 (dlc3) of the vehicle. When
the system seems to be malfunctioning, use the
intelligent tester to check for malfunctions and
perform troubleshooting.
