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.
Standard voltage 
- Inspect heater control (blower switch)
- Remove the heater control.
- Measure the resistance of the switch.
Standard resistance 
- Inspect blower resistor
- Remove the blower resistor.
- Measure the resistance of the resistor.
Standard resistance 
- Check wire harness (heater control (blower switch) - blower resistor)
