Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Rear evaporator temperature sensor circuit
DESCRIPTION
The rear evaporator temperature sensor is installed on the rear evaporator. It detects the rear evaporator temperature. The sensor sends a signal to the A/C amplifier. The resistance of the rear evaporator temperature sensor changes in accordance with the rear evaporator temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The A/C amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the rear evaporator temperature
sensor and reads voltage
changes as the resistance of the rear evaporator temperature sensor changes.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the intelligent tester main switch on.
(c) Select the item below in the DATA LIST, and read the display on the intelligent tester.
DATA LIST / AIR CONDITIONER: 
OK: The display is as specified in the normal condition column.
Result 
2 INSPECT REAR EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(a) Remove the rear evaporator temperature sensor.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance 
NOTICE:
- Even slightly touching the sensor may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
- When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the rear evaporator temperature.
HINT: As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).
3 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (REAR EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR - A/C AMPLIFIER)
(a) Disconnect the rear evaporator temperature sensor connector.
(b) Disconnect the A/C amplifier connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance

HINT:
This DTC relates to the Throttle Position (TP) sensor.
DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0120 (See page ES-145).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the TP sensor to monitor the throttle valve opening angle.
This sensor transmits two signals: VTA1 and VTA2. VTA1 is used to detect the
