AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1411/11

DTC Code DTC Name
B1411/11 Room Temperature Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) is installed in the instrument panel to detect the cabin temperature which is used to control the heater and air conditioning system AUTO mode. The resistance of the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) changes in accordance with the cabin temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies a voltage (5 V) to the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) and reads voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor).

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Memory
B1411/11 Room Temperature Sensor Circuit

Any of the following conditions is met:


  • Open in cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) circuit

  • Short in cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) circuit

  • Cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor)

  • Harness or connector

  • Air conditioning amplifier assembly

 Memorized (4 seconds or more)

Tech Tips


  • The air conditioning amplifier assembly stores the DTC of the respective malfunction if it has occurred for the period of time indicated in the brackets.

  • If the cabin temperature is approximately -18.6°C (-1.48°F) or less, DTC B1411/11 may be output even though the system is normal.
