AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM(for Manual Air Conditioning System), Diagnostic DTC:B1417

DTC Code DTC Name
B1417 Evaporator Temperature Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly (rear evaporator temperature sensor) is installed on the evaporator in the rear air conditioning unit to detect the cooled air temperature that has passed through the evaporator and to control the rear air conditioning. It sends signals to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The signals change in accordance with the resistance of the No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly (rear evaporator temperature sensor). 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 No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly (rear evaporator temperature sensor) and reads voltage changes as the resistance of the No. 2 air conditioning harness assembly (rear evaporator temperature sensor) changes. This sensor is used for frost prevention.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      7 (-) - 8 (+) -10°C (14°F) 7.30 to 9.10 kΩ
      -5°C (23°F) 5.65 to 6.95 kΩ
      0°C (32°F) 4.40 to 5.35 kΩ
      5°C (41°F) 3.40 to 4.15 kΩ
      10°C (50°F) 2.70 to 3.25 kΩ
      15°C (59°F) 2.14 to 2.58 kΩ
      20°C (68°F) 1.71 to 2.05 kΩ
      25°C (77°F) 1.38 to 1.64 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 (refer to the graph).

    OK
  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (REAR EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER)


    1. Disconnect the Q13 harness connector.

    2. Disconnect the G24 amplifier connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      Q13-8 (+) - G24-4 (TEC) Always Below 1 Ω
      Q13-7 (-) - G24-19 (SGND) Always Below 1 Ω
      Q13-8 (+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Q13-7 (-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    OK
