All year LX470's and 03-07 LC's came with smoke/smog sensor that monitors ambient air quality. Should it detect low air quality, it switches the HVAC system to recirculate.
The sensor is located almost directly below the hood latch. There are (2) versions. Pictured is the 98-02 LX version and now in it's correct orientation (air inlets on the backside).
I blew out the filter with compressed air and wiped the insides with a damp cloth. Don't break it, replacement sensor is $400.
