Air Conditioning System (for Manual Air Conditioning System)

AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Manual Air Conditioning System): B1413/13: Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit
B1413/13 - Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The No. 1 cooler thermistor (evaporator temperature sensor) is installed on the evaporator in the air conditioning unit to detect the temperature of the cooled air that has passed through the evaporator and to control the air conditioner. It sends signals to the air conditioning amplifier. The signals change in accordance with the resistance of the No. 1 cooler thermistor (evaporator temperature sensor). As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases. The air conditioning amplifier applies a voltage (5 V) to the No. 1 cooler thermistor (evaporator temperature sensor) and reads voltage changes as changes in the resistance of the No. 1 cooler thermistor (evaporator temperature sensor). This sensor is used for frost prevention.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (EVAPORATOR FIN TEMPERATURE)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream main switch on.

(c) Select the item below in the Data List, and read the value displayed on the Techstream.

OK:

The display is as specified in the normal condition column.

Result:





C -- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER Removal

B -- PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE Air Conditioning System (for Manual Air Conditioning System)
A -- Continue to next step.

2. INSPECT NO. 1 COOLER THERMISTOR (EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR)

(a) Remove the No. 1 cooler thermistor from the front evaporator Removal.





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

Standard resistance:





NOTICE:
* Touching the sensor even slightly 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).

NG -- REPLACE NO. 1 COOLER THERMISTOR (EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR) Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS

(a) Remove the air conditioning harness.

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





Standard resistance:





NG -- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS

OK -- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER Removal
