EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR


    1. A01BCDJE01

      Remove the evaporator temperature sensor.

    2. Disconnect the connector from the evaporator temperature sensor.

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

      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 -10°C (14°F) 7.30 to 9.10 kΩ
      1 - 2 -5°C (23°F) 5.65 to 6.95 kΩ
      1 - 2 0°C (32°F) 4.40 to 5.35 kΩ
      1 - 2 5°C (41°F) 3.40 to 4.15 kΩ
      1 - 2 10°C (50°F) 2.70 to 3.25 kΩ
      1 - 2 15°C (59°F) 2.14 to 2.58 kΩ
      1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 1.71 to 2.05 kΩ
      1 - 2 25°C (77°F) 1.38 to 1.64 kΩ
      1 - 2 30°C (86°F) 1.11 to 1.32 kΩ

      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.

      Tech Tips

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

      If the operation is not as specified, replace the evaporator temperature sensor.
