Cabin Temperature Sensor / Switch: Testing and Inspection

ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION




1. INSPECT A/C ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR
a. Remove the A/C room temperature sensor.




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

NOTE:
- Even slightly touching the sensor may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
- When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

HINT: As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).

If the resistance value is not as specified, replace the sensor.
