FRONT EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR


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

      A017ENUE01
      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

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

      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).
