In-vehicle Sensor





- The in-vehicle sensor (1) is located on instrument lower cover (LH).
- It converts variations in compartment air temperature drawn from the aspirator into a resistance value. It is then input into the A/C auto etc.

In-vehicle Sensor Circuit






Aspirator





The aspirator (1) is located on driver side of heater & cooling unit assembly. It produces vacuum pressure due to air discharged from the heater & cooling unit assembly, continuously taking compartment air in the aspirator.

3. Check voltage between in-vehicle sensor harness connector M34 terminal 1 and ground.

1 - Ground : Approx. 5V

Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 2.
NO - GO TO 4.
2.CHECK CONTINUITY BETWEEN IN-VEHICLE SENSOR AND A/C AUTO AMP.





1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect A/C auto amp. connector.
3. Check continuity between in-vehicle sensor harness connector M34 (A) terminal 2 and A/C auto amp. harness connector M37 (B) terminal 37.

2 - 37 : Continuity should exist.

Is the inspection result normal?
YES - GO TO 3.
NO - Repair harness or connector.
3.CHECK IN-VEHICLE SENSOR
