Thanks for sharing! I followed this video to replace this sensor on my 2011 Highlander. I used soldering iron to melt/remove the sensor, as it was stuck as well. Also, I looped a strong rope under the sensor to pull it out once I melted enough plastic from the top. I did not have to remove the expansion tank.
Would that connector affect only my front AC. I had my battery die and replaced the alternator but now the front ac wont blow. The rear works fine its just the front
Toyota dealers are making bank on this malfunction. They won’t sell you just a sensor. You have to buy a brand new compressor from them or go aftermarket. Or at least that was the case a year ago. Ps- this job is much easier on the sedans … like a Camry.. you can reach snap ring pliers right in there.
I would've tried the heat a wood screw up then let it melt itself into the back of the sensor, let it cool and then try to yank it out. The broken wheel speed sensor trick

Nice I didn’t think of the soldering iron I had that lol anyways good job!!
How did you rule out the issue was not caused by ac compressor solenoid? Thank you!
This had code for this sensor

No it’s same system that cool the strum maybe blend door or low Freon
Is the same the compressor valve or different part
What u mean
Great job well done...do you know how much ohms is the good or bad ones ?
No sorry I don’t but if u got code for it replace it scan the hvac system for codes
so pro mr rb
Thank you

Oh yeah!! Yup this is crazy I had few customers while back with this they went to dealer to get diagnostic and was told compressor $1800
Doorman and ACDelco makes these sensors
