The sensor within the compressor has malfunctioned, everything works. Will need a tool every time i want to use defrosters or air condition.

Wednesday they came on and stayed on even though it hasn't rained in weeks. I've talked with several dealers and they tell me either there is no fix for it or toyota is investigating the problem.
