Toyota Avalon Service & Repair Manual: On-vehicle Inspection

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT AIR CONDITIONER PRESSURE SENSOR

(a) Check the wire harness.

(1) Disconnect the A15 air conditioner pressure sensor connector.

(2) Disconnect the G36 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

(3) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

If the resistance is not as specified, repair or replace the wire harness.

(4) Connect the G36 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

(5) Turn the power switch*1 or engine switch*2 to on (IG).

(6) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

If the voltage is not as specified, repair or replace the wire harness or replace the air conditioning amplifier assembly.

(b) Check the air conditioner pressure sensor.

(1) Connect the A15 air conditioner pressure sensor connector.

(2) Install a manifold gauge set.

(3) Turn the A/C switch on.

(4) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below. HINT: Check from the rear of the connector while it is connected to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. Standard Voltage: Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition G36-24 (PRE) - G36-3 (SG-4) Refrigerant pressure: Normal pressure (less than 3025 kPa (30.8 kgf/cm2, 439 psi) and more than 176 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm2, 26 psi)) 0.74 to 4.61 V If the voltage is not as specified, replace the air conditioner pressure sensor.
