Dorman A/C Compressor Flow Sensor for Lexus Toyota Scion — 926-818 Direct-Fit OE FIX, Durable Replacement

The Dorman 926-818 Air Conditioning Compressor Flow Sensor lets you replace just the faulty sensor instead of the whole A/C compressor, saving time and money on compatible Lexus, Toyota, and Scion models.

If the factory-installed A/C compressor flow sensor on your vehicle fails, dealers often recommend replacing the entire compressor assembly. The Dorman OE FIX 926-818 is engineered as a direct replacement sensor that restores proper flow-sensing function without the expense of a full compressor swap. Designed and tested to meet fit and performance expectations, this sensor is a repair-first solution for many model years of Lexus, Toyota, and Scion vehicles—confirm fitment with your vehicle trim using the garage tool before purchase.

How does this sensor let me avoid replacing the full compressor?

This flow sensor is manufactured as a standalone service part that matches the original equipment’s mounting points and electrical interface. When the sensor itself is the only failed component, installing the Dorman unit restores sensing capability and system operation without removing the compressor for replacement.

• Direct-fit OE FIX design for compatible compressors
• Same electrical connector and mounting features as factory parts
• Replaces only the failed sensor — reduces parts and labor costs
