Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: System description
- General
- The air conditioning system has the following features:
- In accordance with the temperature set using the
temperature control switch, the air conditioning
amplifier determines the outlet temperature
based on the input signals from various sensors.
In addition, corrections are made in accordance with the signals from the water temperature sensor to control the outlet air temperature.
- Controls the blower motor in accordance with the airflow volume determined by the air conditioning amplifier based on the input signals from various sensors.
- Automatically changes the outlets in accordance with the outlet mode ratio that is determined by the air conditioning amplifier based on the input signals from various sensors.
- Based on the signals from the ambient temperature sensor, this system calculates the outside temperature and indicates it in the multiinformation display in the combination meter assembly.
- The left/right independent temperature control and neural network control make air conditioner control available to suit the persons in the driver seat and in the passenger seat.
- Turns the rear defogger and outside rear mirror heaters on for 15 minutes when the rear defogger switch is pressed. Turns them off if the switch is pressed while they are operating.
- Checks the sensors in accordance with the operation of the air conditioner switches.
- The air conditioning amplifier has the function of controlling the indicator lighting.
- Mode position and damper operation
- Air outlet and airflow volume
The circle size (..) Indicates the proportion of the flow volume.

Engine coolant temperature circuit
Description
A thermistor, whose resistance value varies according to the ect, is built
into the engine coolant
temperature (ect) sensor.
The structure of the sensor and its connection to the ecm are the same as those
of the intake air
temperature (iat) sensor.

Inspection
Inspect cylinder head for warpage
Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge,
measure the warpage of the contact surfaces of the
cylinder block and manifolds.
Maximum warpage:
0.08 Mm (0.0032 In.)
If the warpage is greater than the maximum, replace
the cylinder head sub-a ...
