2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 toyota Sienna, a lot of other toyotas in that same timeframe and some Scions and BMW's as well!
This is how i fixed our 12 year old minivan's air conditioner. I was given given quotes from $1800-2500 for new compressor installed. I did some research and tried the compressor control valve for $55 and $26 dollars worth of R134a from o'reilly auto parts and it fixed the issue!
O'reilly's offered to let me borrow the gauges and the vacuum pump that is requried to do this job as well so there was no other cost for tools if you dont want to buy them yourself. I did buy snap ring pliers that were a complete waste, i ended up using a set of small picks that i bought at lowes a few months ago and they worked great to get the snap ring out after some frustrating moments... in the end it worked.
Here is the link to the part i used:

If you look at the details it lists all of the vehicles that use this control valve... there are a TON of vehicles that use it so be sure to check this before going for a whole new compressor!

Cool to see you work on another vehicle! Obviously the Ranger is cooler but any info that can help people work on their own cars is always a good thing.
Yeah, i was hesitant to post this video to be honest because all of the subscribers came from Ranger Raptor videos, but when i actually got the AC working f or $90 instead of $2000+ i figured i had to post it in case it gets to just one person who can use it! Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated as always
well done sir
Thanks!
Should of used a Toyota OEM replacement part.otherwise great job!!
i didn't really think of that but it probably would have fit a little better. If i have to do it again i will go through the dealership for it for sure... great point!
Toyota does not sell that part, you have to buy the complete compressor
So what about the oil that leaked out of the compressor did you refill it off camera
Yes, I added some oil with UV dye in it… I thought I put that in the video but I must have cut it out if you didn’t see that. Cheers
I did not see you bleed the air out of line before opening low side to accept a charge ?
yeah, i may have sped through that when editing... sorry. I did do it and some R-134A and a bit of the oil die came out of the schradar valve and made an oily mess that i had to wipe up haha.
Hi hows the a/c , mine is blinking now ive tried to replace the control valve and so i though it was fixed but didn't so i bought new magnetic switch and it fixed it but now it very weak
Interesting. It is still blowing nice and cold and it’s a good thing because we are mid heat wave here in DC
So how did you diagnose this part failure?
Based on the pressure readings when the compressor was running after a fresh recharge it indicated it was a compressor failure and after some research I found that this part was the weak link in the compressor so it was an inexpensive first step before taking it to a shop and spending $2000 for a whole new compressor. If this didn’t fix it I was going to take it back for a full evaluation.
@@flaberdoopin thanks! My wife has a 2014 sienna. We live in Arizona so far no AC problems, but any day now.
