#72

♻️ GENUINE LEXUS RX450h AL20 AIR QUALITY / SMOG SENSOR – DENSO 013650-0040 – 2016-2020

Genuine used Denso air quality / smog sensor, suitable for Lexus RX450h AL20 applications and also used on selected other Lexus, Toyota and Jaguar applications.

This sensor forms part of the vehicle’s automatic climate-control air-quality system and monitors pollutants in the outside air entering the HVAC system.

Denso Part Number: 013650-0040

Alternative Number: 0136500040

Lexus / Toyota OE Reference: 88898-50031

Part Type: Air Quality Sensor / Smog Sensor / Pollution Sensor

System: HVAC / Climate Control / Air Quality System

Connector: 5-Pin

Manufacturer: Denso

Condition: Genuine Used

Compatibility

Confirmed applications include:

• Lexus RX450h AL20 / GYL20-GYL25 – 2016-2020

• 3.5 V6 Petrol Hybrid

• 2GR-FXS engine

• RHD and applicable LHD vehicles using the same sensor

The exact 013650-0040 sensor is documented from a 2016 Lexus RX450h GYL25 with the 2GR-FXS hybrid powertrain, and another verified used-part source identifies the same sensor on an AL20 RX from 2018. (boutique.francecasse.fr)

It is also documented on:

• Lexus RX350 AL20 – selected 3.5 V6 applications

• Lexus GS300h – selected years

• Lexus GS450h – selected years

• Lexus RC / RC F – selected applications

• Earlier Lexus RX450h AL10 applications

The same Denso number is documented on both earlier 2GR-FXE RX450h models and later AL20 2GR-FXS vehicles, showing that 013650-0040 was used across multiple Lexus generations rather than being unique to the 2016-2020 RX450h. (Bildelsbasen)

Jaguar Applications

The same Denso 013650-0040 air-quality sensor is also documented on selected Jaguar vehicles.

Confirmed examples include:

• Jaguar XJ – 2010-2015

• Jaguar F-Type X152 – selected applications

A Jaguar/Land Rover parts specialist specifically identifies 013650-0040 as a Jaguar smog/air-quality sensor for the XJ, and the same Denso number is documented on the F-Type X152. (Birkshire Automobiles Parts Department)

⚠️ Do not assume compatibility with every Jaguar or Land Rover model simply because the Denso number appears on JLR applications. Match 013650-0040 and the connector to the original sensor.

Technical Information

The air-quality sensor is part of the vehicle’s HVAC / automatic climate-control system.

Its purpose is to monitor the quality of outside air entering the vehicle.

Depending on the climate-control system configuration, information from the sensor can be used to help control the fresh-air / recirculation function when elevated levels of outside pollutants are detected.

Sensor Type: Air Quality / Smog / Pollution Sensor

Manufacturer: Denso

Electrical Connection: 5-pin

Application: HVAC air-quality monitoring

Climate Control System Information

The sensor works alongside components such as:

• Automatic climate-control module

• HVAC intake system

• Fresh-air / recirculation flap

• Recirculation actuator

• Cabin ventilation system

• Associated wiring and connectors

When outside air quality deteriorates, appropriately equipped automatic climate-control systems can reduce the amount of contaminated outside air entering the cabin by changing the recirculation setting.

Common Symptoms / Reasons for Replacement

• Air-quality sensor fault code

• Automatic recirculation not operating correctly

• HVAC system remaining in fresh-air mode

• Recirculation operating unexpectedly

• Climate-control diagnostic fault

• Sensor damaged during front-end repairs

• Electrical connector damaged

• Water or contamination damage

• Original sensor missing

• Replacement following HVAC diagnosis

Important Diagnostic Information

Before replacing the sensor, check:

• Electrical connector

• 5-pin terminal condition

• Wiring continuity

• Power and ground supply

• HVAC fault codes

• Recirculation flap operation

• Recirculation actuator operation

A problem with automatic air recirculation does not automatically mean that the air-quality sensor itself is faulty.

Wiring, connectors, HVAC actuators and climate-control electronics should also be checked.

Installation

The sensor should be installed in the same position and orientation as the original factory component.

Ensure:

• Connector is fully engaged

• Electrical terminals are clean

• Sensor is securely mounted

• Sensor openings are not obstructed

• Wiring is routed correctly

Avoid contaminating or damaging the sensing area during installation.

Programming / Coding

No programming or coding is normally required when replacing the sensor with the correct matching unit.

Existing HVAC diagnostic fault codes may require clearing after the underlying fault has been repaired.

Important Compatibility Note

⚠️ Please match the actual sensor number before purchasing.

Your original component against the listing photographs

This sensor was fitted to multiple vehicle models and generations, but this does not mean every model/year within those ranges uses the same sensor.

Part-number matching is strongly recommended.

Condition

Genuine used Denso component.

May show normal signs of previous use, removal and storage.

Please inspect all listing photographs carefully for the exact connector, mounting points and overall condition of the sensor supplied.
