Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Blower motor circuit
Description
When the heater control (blower switch) is set to position 1 or higher, the
contact of the htr relay is
closed, current flows to the blower motor, and the blower motor operates. The
blower motor speed can be
changed by exchanging the ground and the blower resistor circuit with the heater
control (blower switch).
Wiring diagram

Inspection procedure
- Inspect fuse (htr)
- Remove the htr fuse from the engine room no. 2 Relay
block.
- Measure the resistance of the fuse.
Standard resistance:
below 1

- Inspect heater relay (marking: htr)

- Remove the heater relay from the instrument panel
junction block.
- Measure the resistance of the relay.
Standard resistance 

- Inspect blower motor

- Disconnect the e54 motor connector.
- Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1, then check that
the blower motor operates smoothly.
Ok:
the blower motor operates smoothly.
- Measure the current.
Standard current 

- Check wire harness (heater control (blower switch) - battery)
- Disconnect the e24 heater control connector.
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
