2022 Toyota RAV4 — blower works on some speeds but not others

CommuterDriver262Community StarterMay 24, 20262022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSECalifornia
2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE, about 17,000 miles. Cabin fan works normally on certain settings and then cuts out or changes speed unpredictably on others.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2022 Toyota RAV4, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2022 Toyota RAV4 and see if the fault moves. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. Trying not to diagnose from the couch.

Log the conditions before you spend. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2022 Toyota RAV4, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. On “blower works on some speeds but not,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. No warning lights, which is why I'm documenting it.

Ask what changed right before it started. Move a coil or plug on the 2022 Toyota RAV4 if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Agree — and I'd add this: Get a real battery/charging test on the 2022 Toyota RAV4, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. Save the big job until that test fails. This is from a 2022 Toyota RAV4 in California with 17,000 miles. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. I'd rather be boring and correct. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Quick add on that: If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2022 Toyota RAV4, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. On “blower works on some speeds but not,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. No warning lights, which is why I'm documenting it.
