If that was the case....would it be the servo freaking out ?

I know this post is old, but did you figure it out? I have an 02 that works most of the time but it sometimes stops and the only way to fix it is to cycle the temp knob a couple of times. Trying to decide if its a servo issue or the climate controller. Thanks

I need help with an issue on the climate controller in my 2002 4runner with manual climate control. There is no auto button. When I’m running the heat, everything works fine and then randomly it will start blowing cold air. If I cycle the temperature knob back-and-forth a couple of times, it...

That’s the email address I used. I guess I will try again. Thank you!

Weird, I emailed him almost a week ago and have received no response.what email did you use? Maybe I fat fingered it.

Is this service still being offered? I have a 2002 with manual controls that needs help!

I was thinking that it was the automatic climate units that people were having repaired. I didn’t know the manual units had the same issues. Would you share the member’s name who repaired your unit?

I have an 02 4Runner with manual climate control. I initially thought I had a problem with my AC system because of the intermittent cooling. Now that the temps have dropped to the 30s, the heat is doing the same thing. It works intermittently. After the engine is warmed up, the heat may work...

So is there anything to do but replace the controller? Is it best to go OEM or aftermarket?

Is this for manual or automatic climate control? I have manual.

Thank you!I am a former aircraft mechanic so I think I can do it. I don’t know why some people don’t want to share information.That’s what makes a site like this beneficial is the sharing of information. Thank you!

I have figured out that I have to constantly cycle the temp knob between hot and cold to get it to work. I am assuming I need to send it to the guy in NJ to rebuild.Thanks for the heads up.

The lines running in and out of the HCV all feel hot. Does this mean it’s faulty? Do I need a temp gun to see how close they are in temperature or should they feel different?

The HCV actuator near the floorboard and the cable seem to operate freely when turning the knob from cold to hot. I cycled it several times and watched the operation. I also sprayed some dry lube on it too. I also saw the cable moving in the engine bay by the firewall and its operation matched...

One thing I have noticed is that simply turning the temperature selector from cold to hot and back again is enough to get it cooling. The system has been flaky and I thought all the refrigerant had leaked out. I put the ac pro on it and the gauge still showed in the green. I probably have a slow...
