HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM: B1462/62: Room Humidity Sensor Circuit
B1462/62 - Room Humidity Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The room humidity sensor detects cabin humidity. The voltage of the room humidity sensor changes in accordance with cabin humidity. The air conditioning amplifier assembly reads changes in the room humidity sensor.

The room humidity sensor is integrated with the room temperature sensor.

B -- PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
A -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT)

(a) Disconnect the room humidity sensor connector.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





NG -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ROOM HUMIDITY SENSOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY)
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. INSPECT ROOM HUMIDITY SENSOR

(a) Reconnect the room humidity sensor connector.





(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





NOTICE:
* Do not touch the room humidity sensor because it may be affected by body temperature and may not work properly.
* Hold the sensor only by its connector.
* The output voltage at the ambient temperature 25°C (77°F) is shown above.

HINT
As the humidity increases, the voltage increases (see the graph).
