Toyota Prius (XW60) 2023-2025 Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Heating / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System (for Hev Model)

Precaution

PRECAUTION

DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED AREA OR NEAR AN OPEN FLAME

*a

Charging Cylinder

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION

BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET LIQUID REFRIGERANT IN YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN

If liquid refrigerant gets in your eyes or on your skin:

(a) Wash the area with lots of cold water.

CAUTION:

Do not rub your eyes or skin.

(b) Apply clean petroleum jelly to the skin.

(c) Go immediately to a hospital or see a physician for professional treatment.

NEVER HEAT CONTAINER OR EXPOSE CONTAINER TO AN OPEN FLAME

BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP CONTAINER OR APPLY PHYSICAL SHOCKS TO IT

DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT ENOUGH REFRIGERANT IN REFRIGERANT SYSTEM

If there is not enough refrigerant in the air conditioning system, oil lubrication will be insufficient and the compressor may be damaged.

Necessary care should be taken to avoid this.

DO NOT OPEN HIGH PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE WHILE COMPRESSOR IS OPERATING

*a

Wrong

*b

Okay

Open and close only the low pressure valve.

If the high pressure valve is opened, refrigerant will flow in the reverse direction causing the charging cylinder to rupture.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE SYSTEM WITH REFRIGERANT

If the system is overcharged with refrigerant, it causes problems such as insufficient cooling, poor fuel economy, engine overheating, etc.

DO NOT OPERATE ENGINE AND COMPRESSOR WITH NO REFRIGERANT

CAUTION:

Doing so may damage the inside of the compressor because the compressor parts always move regardless of whether the air conditioning system is turned on or off.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

This Toyota Prius vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary notices.

HINT:

  • You can reduce the number of systems to check by using the results of the following operation check.
  • Perform the following checks based on Customer Feedback and the vehicle condition.
  • The customer's opinion may not be consistent with the actual problem (e.g.: the cooling performance of the air conditioner is bad → actually, the wind volume is weak). It is important to check the problem symptoms accurately and judge correctly based on various sources of information.
  • Judgment as to whether the air conditioner panel is normal or abnormal can be judged by checking if the indicator illuminates or turns off when the switch is operated.
  • During servo motor initialization, the AUTO indicator light comes on, and then turns off when initialization has finished.
  • If the performance of the air conditioner is poor or there is a foul odor, check for clogging in the clean air filter.

INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY (SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT)

NOTICE:

  • If refrigerant pressure on the high pressure side becomes extremely high, the fail-safe function stops compressor operation.
  • It is necessary to measure the voltage for a certain amount of time (approximately 10 minutes) because the malfunction may recur after a while.

HINT:

When the outside air temperature is low (below -1.5°C (29.3°F)), the compressor stops due to operation of the ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) and the evaporator temp. sensor (No. 1 cooler thermistor) to prevent the evaporator from freezing. In this case, perform the inspection in a warm indoor environment.

Ambient Temperature Display System

DESCRIPTION

The ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) is installed in front of the cooler condenser assembly to detect the ambient temperature, which is used to control the air conditioning system.

The ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) detects fluctuations in the ambient temperature and sends it as a signal to the combination meter assembly.

This data is used for controlling the cabin temperature.

The resistance of the ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) changes in accordance with the ambient temperature.

As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases.

As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies voltage (5 V) to the ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) and detects voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly).

NOTICE:

The ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) detects the ambient temperature in its vicinity, not the ambient temperature around the Toyota Prius vehicle.

Depending on factors such as radiant heat from the engine room and the vehicle speed, the ambient temperature detected by the ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) may differ from the ambient temperature displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly.

For example:

  • When the Toyota Prius vehicle is stopped or being driven at low speeds, the displayed ambient temperature will not be updated to a higher temperature to adjust for and minimize the influence of radiant heat from the engine room on the air conditioning system control.

    When the vehicle is not being driven at low speeds, the adjustment is performed, but updating of the displayed ambient temperature to a higher temperature is delayed.

    The displayed ambient temperature will be updated to a lower temperature regardless of the Toyota Prius vehicle speed.

  • When the ambient temperature around the ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) suddenly changes due to any reason other than radiant heat from the engine room, such as when the vehicle enters or exits a garage or tunnel, the actual ambient temperature of the vehicle and the displayed ambient temperature may differ or changing of the displayed value may be delayed.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • Before starting the inspection, it is necessary to release the residual heat from the engine room (engine unit and coolant hoses, etc.) after stopping the engine and electric motor (when the Toyota Prius vehicle is parked after being driven). Therefore, move and park the vehicle in the following type of temperature measurement location.
    • A location within the vehicle service area which has a relatively low amount of environmental temperature changes in the area surrounding the vehicle.
    • A location with a level surface made of a material such as concrete which transmits a relatively low amount of heat from the ground, such as concrete.
    • A location with no heat influences around the Toyota Prius vehicle to be inspected such as other vehicles with a running engine and electric motors, exhaust gas ducts installed on the exhaust pipes, stoves, etc.
  • The air conditioning system uses the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication functions by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the air conditioning system after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.

CLEAR ECU STORED VALUES (THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY DETECTION VALUE)

HINT:

The air conditioning amplifier assembly reads and memorizes the ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) detection value (THO) from before the ignition switch was turned off for 1 hour after turning the ignition switch off. Therefore, it is necessary to switch off the air conditioning amplifier assembly internal power source and clear the stored values from before the ignition switch was turned off.

(a) Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 6 minutes or more.

NOTICE:

  • Make sure that the wire harness(es) and connector(s) for the Toyota Prius vehicle being inspected are connected.
  • After the ignition switch is turned off, the navigation system stores the various memory and settings within approximately 6 minutes. Therefore, make sure to disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal after confirming that 6 minutes or more have elapsed since turning the ignition switch off.

NOTICE:

Wait at least 6 minutes for the values of the ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) and thermometer to become stable before taking a measurement.

(b) Measure and make a note of the ambient temperature near the ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) using a thermometer.

NOTICE:

  • Hold the thermometer 50 mm (1.97 in.) from the ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly) with its sensing portion at the same height and perpendicular to the ambient temp. sensor (thermistor assembly).
  • Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensing portion may change the resistance value.
  • When measuring the ambient temperature with a thermometer, do not move the thermometer, touch the sensing portion or allow it to contact the Toyota Prius vehicle body.

(c) Make a note of the ambient temperature displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly.
