Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Toyota Sequoia. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check voltage between terminals TAM and SG-1 of integration control and panel.
PREPARATION:

Remove integration control and panel with connectors still connected.

CHECK:
1. Turn ignition switch to ON.
2. Measure voltage between terminals TAM and SG-1 of integration control and panel connector at each temperature.
OK:
1. Voltage:
2. at 25°C (77°F) : 1.35 - 1.75 V
3. at 40°C (104°F) : 0.85 - 1.25 V
NOTE: As the temperature increases, the voltage decreases.
1. NG : Go to step 2.
2. OK : Proceed to next circuit inspection shown in PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE . However, if DTC 12 is displayed, check and replace integration control and panel.
Check ambient temperature sensor.
PREPARATION:

Disconnect ambient temperature sensor connector.

CHECK:

Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of ambient temperature sensor connector at each temperature.

OK:
1. Resistance:
2. at 25°C (77°F) : 1.6 - 1.8 kΩ
3. at 50°C (122°F) : 0.5 - 0.7 kΩ
NOTE: As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

NOTE: When installing the ambient temperature sensor, be sure to connect the sensor connector before connecting the battery.
1. NG : Replace ambient temperature sensor.
2. OK : Go To Next Step.
Check harness and connector between ambient temperature sensor and integration control and panel (See HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).
1. NG : Repair or replace harness or connector.
2. OK : Check and replace integration control and panel.
