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.

Solar sensor circuit (driver side)
Description
The solar sensor, which is installed on the upper side of the instrument
panel, detects sunlight and
controls the air conditioning auto mode. The output voltage from the solar
sensor varies in accordance
with the amount of sunlight. When the sunlight increases, the output volt ...
