HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM: B14A8: Glass Temperature Sensor Circuit
B14A8 - Glass Temperature Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The air conditioning amplifier assembly detects the windshield glass surface temperature from this circuit. The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies voltage to the air conditioning thermistor assembly (glass temperature sensor). As the windshield glass surface temperature rises, the resistance decreases. The air conditioning amplifier assembly detects the resistance change as the windshield glass surface temperature changes.





HINT
The whole air conditioning thermistor assembly should be replaced if the glass temperature sensor is malfunctioning.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

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

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Data List.

(e) Check the value(s) by referring to the table below.

Air Conditioner





OK:

The display is as specified in the Normal Condition column.

NG -- INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY (GLASS TEMPERATURE SENSOR)

OK -- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY Removal

2. INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY (GLASS TEMPERATURE SENSOR)

(a) Remove the air conditioning thermistor assembly (glass temperature sensor).





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

Standard Resistance:





NOTICE:
* Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensor may change the resistance value.
* When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

NG -- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER - GLASS TEMPERATURE SENSOR)

(a) Disconnect the T11 air conditioning thermistor assembly (glass temperature sensor) connector.

(b) Disconnect the H86 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

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

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK -- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY Removal
