Toyota RAV4 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.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
- Read value of intelligent tester (reg ctrl currnt)
- 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 items below in the data list, and read the value displayed on the intelligent tester.
Ok: the display is as specified in the normal condition column.
- Inspect compressor and pulley
- Disconnect the compressor and pulley connector.
- Measure the resistance of the connector.
Standard resistance 
- Check wire harness (compressor and pulley - air conditioning amplifier)
- Disconnect the b23 compressor and pulley connector.
- Disconnect the e36 amplifier connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance 
- Check wire harness (compressor and pulley - body ground)
- Disconnect the b23 compressor and pulley connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

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 ...

On-vehicle inspection
Inspect cooler condenser assembly
If the fins of the cooler condenser are dirty, clean
them with water. Dry the fins with compressed air.
Notice:
Do not damage the fins of the condenser.

Throttle / pedal position sensor
Hint:
These dtcs relate to the accelerator pedal position (app) sensor.
Description
Hint:
This etcs (electronic throttle control system) does not use a throttle cable.
The app sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal bracket and has 2 sensor
circuits: vpa (main) and
vpa2 (sub). This ...
