Intake Sensor


INTAKE SENSOR





Description
Intake Sensor





The intake sensor (2) is located on the evaporator. It converts air temperature after it passes through the evaporator (1) into a resistance value which is then input to the unified meter and A/C amp.




Component Function Check
1.PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Perform self-diagnosis function STEP-2. Diagnosis Description Unified Meter & A/C Amp Without ACCS (WITHOUT ACCS) or Diagnosis Description With ACCS Unified Meter & A/C Amp (WITH ACCS).
24 or -24 is displayed.
YES - Go to Diagnosis Procedure. SEE Diagnosis Procedure.
NO - INSPECTION END




Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND GROUND
