Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Room temperature sensor (for automatic ai conditioning system)
Components
Removal
- Remove lower instrument panel
- Remove the lower instrument panel (see page ip- 16).
- Remove room temperature sensor
- Disconnect the duct.
- Disconnect the connector.
- Detach the claws and remove the sensor.
Inspection
- Inspect room temperature sensor
- Measure the resistance of the sensor.
Standard resistance 
Notice:
- Touching the sensor even slightly may change the resistance value. Hold the connector of the sensor.
- When measuring the resistance, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.
Hint:
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).
If the result is not as specified, replace the room temperature sensor.
Installation
- Install room temperature sensor
- Attach the claws to install the sensor.
- Connect the connector.
- Connect the duct.

Battery temperature sensor circuit
Description
The battery temperature sensor installed on the battery current sensor
detects battery temperature.
A thermistor is integrated into the battery temperature sensor, and the
resistance in the battery
temperature sensor changes according to the battery temperature.

Inspection
Inspect generator brush holder assembly
Using a vernier caliper, measure the brush length.
Standard length:
9.5 To 11.5 Mm (0.374 To 0.453 In.)
Minimum length:
4.5 Mm (0.177 In.)
If the brush length is less than the minimum, replace
the generator brush holder assembly.
