AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1413/13

DESCRIPTION

The evaporator temperature sensor is installed to the evaporator in the air conditioner unit to detect the temperature of the cooled air that has passed through the evaporator, which is used to control the air conditioning system. It sends signals to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor changes in accordance with the temperature of the cooled air that has passed through the evaporator. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies voltage (5 V) to the evaporator temperature sensor and reads voltage changes as the resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor changes. This sensor is used for frost prevention.

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

2. INSPECT EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

   
   

   1. Remove the evaporator temperature sensor.

      Click here

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

      

      *a	Component without harness connected (Evaporator Temperature Sensor)	*b	Sensing Portion
      *c	Resistance (kΩ)	*d	Temperature (°C (°F))
      *e	Allowable Range	-	-

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 - 2 -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 30°C (86°F) 1.11 to 1.32 kΩ

      Note

      
      

      • Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensing portion may change the resistance value.

      • 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).

      Result
      Proceed to OK NG
