Evaporator Temperature Sensor - Automatic Climate Control

EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The evaporator temperature sensor is a temperature dependent resistor (thermistor). The resistance of the thermistor decreases as the evaporator outlet air temperature increases. Use a digital multimeter (KS-AHM-32-OO3) to check it.

CAUTION: The sensor uses a thermistor which can be damaged if high current is applied to it during testing. Therefore, use a circuit tester that puts out a measuring current of 1 mA or less. (At the 20 K Ohm range)
