Parts source for A/C line/pressure switch!

That's some comprehensive troubleshooting and it definitely points to the sensor itself being faulty.

Googling that Denso part number does show it to also be a Toyota AC pressure sensor, so if you can track one of them down that would likely be far less expensive than buying the $200 pressure tube A assembly from Toyota.

Makes me wish I didn't just throw away the AC lines when I pulled the cracked AC compressor off of Crashy.

Awww man, you didn't?!

I would've sent you $100 cash for that piece lol

Through Toyota, with my ''tech discount'', the line is still $227

Insanity...

But hey, thanks for your input and confirmation. Good to know someone else thinks it's a faulty sensor too! Unfortunately though, I even went to Denso's site and still cant find that sensor by itself


Any way you can be sure the sensor comes with the line? I found an aftermarket company who makes the line for $169 but I don't wanna order it just to find out it doesn't have the real piece I'm after.

Unfortunately the EPC is not so good about showing certain details, like this. I would check with a Toyota parts department to see if they can tell you for sure. I would bet that the aftermarket line doesn't include the sensor, but there again it would be worth checking with the manufacturer if you can track them down.

Another option is the junk yard route. www.car-parts.com is a great database of junkyards.
