My 2012 Camry was able to use it with no issues. It was difficult to change in such an inconvenient location. We were two of us and it took 3 1/2 hours. As mechanics, we've worked for over 80 years.
I'm not sure, but if you have Amazon Prime, you can always return it for a full refund if it doesn't fit! For our 2010 RAV4, this small piece came in handy.
Yes, this will do the trick.

The compressor on my 2014 Toyota Camry was broken. I took the car to a Toyota dealer for diagnostics and repairs. A bad compressor flow sensor was discovered during troubleshooting, which resulted in the error code B1479. According to Toyota, the sensor is part of the compressor and is not sold separately, so the stealership wanted $2,000 to replace it. This cost $35 when I bought it. I bought a 00 part and put it together myself. The air conditioner now works perfectly, and I've saved a ton of cash. It took some effort to remove the old sensor, but I was able to do so without having to remove the compressor. Thank you, Dorman, for creating such a cost-effective product.
2013 Sienna A/C is fixed. The AC compressor in our 2013 Sienna was not turning on because of a B1479 Flow Sensor code. Until Dorman released this, the sensor could not be purchased separately. Instead of replacing the entire A/C compressor, you can now just replace this small sensor, which will save you around $1000. There's no need to turn off the air conditioner because the sensor is on the outside. I removed the cooling fans to make replacements easier. It's possible that you'll have to disassemble the old sensor to get it out.
Unlike traditional compressors, which have a connection to activate the clutch, these "new" compressors have two sensors. This one fails frequently and can be replaced in less than 5 minutes without causing the system to discharge. Despite having a proper Freon charge, my compressor was not cooling. I wasn't sure if this sensor was the issue, but it seems to be the one that fails the most, so it's worth a shot at $30. Bingo! My air conditioning has returned to normal! It's fantastic:.
I used the Scan Tool to activate the A/C Compressor and received cool air. The data from the A/C Flow Sensor in the Scan Tool was out of range with a score of 3. With the air conditioner turned off and the fan turned off, the voltage is 52 volts. As a result, the A/C Flow Sensor is defective. You don't need the DTC B1479 to know the Flow Sensor is bad; in my case, there was no code at all. Without removing the A/C Compressor lines, removing and installing this Flow Sensor is extremely difficult. My advice is to not attempt this at home if you do not know how to recover the refrigerant and remove the A/C Compressor Lines.
They would work for a short period of time before stopping. This one is still going strong, and I'm thrilled about it.
My 2015 Toyota Camry had no cold air conditioning, and after speaking with a number of automotive technicians, they all said the compressor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The A/C works great now that this sensor has been installed. It took me about an hour to complete the replacement. You Can Do This Repair if You Take Your Time and Use Some Simple Hand Tools. Alternatively, ask a friend to assist you. Don't be taken advantage of, as I previously stated.
br>br>My car was broken by a mechanic who refused to accept responsibility and left me to deal with the situation. Dorman saved me from having to replace a perfectly good compressor with this part. It took some prying and a small pick to get the old one out. This one slid right in after it was finished and worked flawlessly.
As DORMAN explains in the video, it works. I was able to save over two thousand dollars at the dealers and over a thousand dollars at the private shop. Remove the old one, removing the radiator fan for extra room, a little extra work to remove the old one seized in its casing in the compressor, no a/c compressor replacement and no freon evacuation The new one was installed, tested, and the a/c was put back in service for less than $50. Thank you, DORMAN, for putting up with me.
