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


  1. Check wire harness (blower motor - body ground)

  1. Check air conditioning amplifier
Toyota RAV4. Check air conditioning amplifier

  1. Remove the air conditioning amplifier with its connectors still connected.
  2. Check the waveform of the amplifier connector.
Ok: waveform is as shown in the illustration. Hint:

The waveform varies with the blower level.
