Vehicles / Specifications Not To Assume Fit
| Vehicle / Specification | Why It Is Excluded Or Requires Further Checking |
|---|---|
|
European RAV4 Mk2 2.0 D-4D 1CD-FTV / CLA2# |
DO NOT ORDER THIS UNIT AS A DIESEL REPLACEMENT FROM YEAR/shape alone. The European catalogue lists 88650-42150 for the CLA2# diesel application, rather than 88650-42130. |
| RAV4 Mk1 / XA10 | No fitment claim is made. Verify a VIN-specific catalogue before ordering. |
| RAV4 Mk3 / XA30 and later generations | No fitment claim is made from appearance alone. Later generations use other HVAC amplifier applications. |
| Any module carrying a different Toyota or Denso number | Do not assume interchangeability because the connector or housing looks similar. |
| Any unlisted engine, frame or market | Requires VIN-level verification before purchase. |
RAV4 Mk2 Body-Style Reference Photos
This part number appears in both three-door and five-door XA20-family catalogue applications. The photographs below are supplied only to help customers identify the correct RAV4 generation/body shape. They are not substitutes for the VIN or module label.
North American Catalogue Cross-Market Usage
The same Toyota number 88650-42130 also appears in North American RAV4 catalogue data for 2001–2005 2.0L and 2.4L petrol applications. Because this listing can be seen internationally, those references are shown here to help number matching — not to replace a VIN check.
| Market | Years | Engine | Catalogue Frames / Configurations | Order Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| North America | 2001–2005 | 2.0L 1AZ-FE 2.4L 2AZ-FE |
ACA21L • ACA23L • ACA26L • ACA28L catalogue configurations | Exact VIN and existing label verification mandatory before treating an individual vehicle as confirmed. |
No additional Toyota/Lexus model is being advertised as compatible. We prefer a shorter accurate compatibility list over adding an unsupported model simply because a module appears visually similar.
What This Module Does
Climate-Control Electronics
Toyota catalogues this component as the Air Conditioner Amplifier Assembly, No.1. It is an electronic component within the vehicle's HVAC control system.
Control Logic
It participates in processing climate-control commands and managing electrical functions within the air-conditioning/HVAC system. The exact input/output strategy varies with vehicle specification.
It Is Not The Compressor
This is a control module, not the refrigerant compressor itself. A cooling fault should therefore be diagnosed before replacing electronic parts.
Where Is It Fitted?
Toyota catalogues this amplifier within the Heating & Air Conditioning / Cooler Unit group. Practical access is within the dashboard/HVAC electrical area.
We are deliberately not inventing an exact screw or bracket location. Exact trim-removal sequence and module position can vary with specification. Use the VIN-specific Toyota repair information before dismantling the dashboard, and identify the installed module from its physical label before removal.
Possible Symptoms Of A Fault
Depending on the actual fault and vehicle specification, a failed HVAC amplifier/control module may contribute to symptoms such as:
- Air-conditioning request not responding correctly.
- Intermittent climate-control operation.
- Cooling or temperature-control commands behaving unexpectedly.
- HVAC electrical functions operating intermittently.
- A climate-control fault remaining after other system checks.
Why Exact Factory-Part Matching Matters
When replacing an electronic control component, matching the original Toyota and Denso identification numbers reduces fitment uncertainty. It preserves the manufacturer-specified connector arrangement, mounting format and electronic application represented by that catalogue number.
Low-cost pattern alternatives vary considerably in construction and specification. Rather than introducing another unknown into an electrical diagnosis, an accurately identified used factory-production component allows the buyer to match the same manufacturer/part-number family already installed in the vehicle.
Buying used can also provide a substantial saving compared with purchasing a comparable new replacement. Depending on the component and current replacement pricing, used vehicle parts can sometimes save up to around 70%. Actual savings naturally depend on the current new price and this listing's selling price.
Before You Buy — 60 Second Fitment Check
1Find the full 17-character VIN.
2Locate the existing A/C amplifier module.
3Photograph its identification label clearly.
4Compare Toyota number 88650-42130.
5Compare Denso number 277100-1630 where present.
6Check engine/frame/market against the compatibility table.
7If anything differs, message us on eBay before ordering.
A registration number, year or photograph of the vehicle is useful supporting information, but it is not as reliable as VIN + physical label verification for an electronic module.
Fitting Guide
Planning guide only — not a VIN-specific factory repair procedure. If you are not competent with vehicle electrical systems and interior trim, use a qualified technician.
- Confirm the full 17-character VIN against the correct parts catalogue and compare the existing module label with 88650-42130 / 277100-1630.
- Switch the ignition fully off and remove the key. Record any settings that may be lost when battery power is disconnected.
- Follow the VIN-specific repair information for safe 12V battery disconnection and any required SRS waiting period.
- Using non-marring trim tools, gain access to the relevant dashboard/HVAC electrical area. Clip and screw positions can vary by specification.
- Identify the installed amplifier from its label before disconnecting anything. Photograph connector and bracket orientation for reference.
- Release the electrical connector by its locking mechanism. Do not pull on the wiring harness.
- Remove the relevant mounting fasteners/bracket and remove the module carefully.
- Position the replacement in the same orientation, secure the correct fasteners and fully latch the connector.
- Reassemble the trim, reconnect the battery in accordance with the repair procedure and restore any settings as required.
- Test HVAC modes and A/C operation. If the original fault remains, continue diagnosis rather than assuming another replacement is required.
Suggested Tools
- Plastic / non-marring trim-removal tools
- Cross-head / Phillips screwdriver
- 1/4-inch ratchet
- Small metric socket set
- 10mm spanner/socket for battery terminal where applicable
- Inspection torch
- Suitable diagnostic scan tool — recommended
- Parts tray for trim fasteners
- VIN-specific repair information
- Correct electrical diagnostic equipment if fault finding is required
Exact fastener type, torque and dismantling sequence have not been guessed here. Verify those details against the repair information for the actual VIN.
Estimated Fitting Time & Garage Labour Calculator
This is a practical estimating range, not a manufacturer flat-rate time. Additional diagnosis, difficult trim removal or wiring faults can increase billed time.
No JavaScript is used in this eBay description, so the safest calculator is the static table below: estimated labour = garage hourly rate × billed hours.
| Garage Rate | 0.5 Hour | 0.75 Hour | 1.0 Hour | 1.5 Hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £50/hr | £25 | £37.50 | £50 | £75 |
| £60/hr | £30 | £45 | £60 | £90 |
| £70/hr | £35 | £52.50 | £70 | £105 |
| £80/hr | £40 | £60 | £80 | £120 |
| £90/hr | £45 | £67.50 | £90 | £135 |
| £100/hr | £50 | £75 | £100 | £150 |
| £120/hr | £60 | £90 | £120 | £180 |
| £150/hr | £75 | £112.50 | £150 | £225 |
Examples are labour estimates only and exclude diagnosis, the part itself, consumables, additional repair work and any applicable taxes/charges. Individual garages set their own labour rates and billing methods.
Fitting & Repair Service
Fitting and vehicle repair work may be available subject to technician capacity. Please contact us through eBay messages before travelling or assuming a fitting slot is available.

VAT Information
Where this qualifying used component is sold under the Global Accounting VAT Margin Scheme, VAT is accounted for through the applicable margin-scheme treatment and is not shown separately on the invoice.
There is therefore no separately stated VAT amount for a business buyer to reclaim where the sale falls under that margin-scheme treatment.
Returns & Correct-Part Ordering
Returns are handled in accordance with the return terms displayed on the eBay listing and applicable consumer rights.
Our priority is preventing the return in the first place by helping you order the correct component. If there is any uncertainty about fitment, send the full 17-character VIN and a clear photograph of your old module's label through eBay messages before buying.
Do not order purely because the housing, plug or vehicle year appears similar. Electronic modules should be checked using identification numbers and VIN-specific catalogue data.
Why Buy A Used Factory-Production Part?
✓ Exact Identification
A physical Toyota/Denso label gives the buyer a specific part-number reference to compare against the original component.
£ Strong Value
Depending on the component and current replacement price, buying used can sometimes save up to around 70% compared with a comparable new replacement.
♻ Reuse
Keeping a serviceable vehicle component in circulation extends its useful life and helps reduce unnecessary disposal of usable automotive parts.
