Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Air Mix Damper Position Sensor Circuit (Passenger Side)
DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the position of the air mix control servo motor (air mix damper) and sends the appropriate signals to the A/C amplifier. The position sensor is built in the air mix control servo motor. The position sensor's resistance changes as the air mix control servo motor arm moves.
It outputs voltage (5 V) that is input to terminal 1 and terminal 3 via the variable resistor, and then to the A/ C amplifier.
The A/C amplifier determines the arm position based on the input voltage from the position sensor.

2 INSPECT AIR MIX CONTROL SERVO MOTOR
(a) Remove the air mix control servo motor.
(b) Disconnect the connector from the air mix control servo motor.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance 
(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance 
(e) As the air mix control servo motor moves from the cool side to the hot side, the resistance decreases gradually without interruption.
3 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR MIX CONTROL SERVO MOTOR - A/C AMPLIFIER)
(a) Disconnect the connector from the A/C amplifier.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
