AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B14A9

DESCRIPTION

The air conditioning amplifier assembly detects the temperature of the area near the windshield glass using this circuit. The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies voltage to the air conditioning thermistor assembly (glass surroundings temperature sensor). As the temperature of the area near the windshield glass rises, the resistance decreases. The air conditioning amplifier assembly detects the resistance change as the windshield glass surroundings temperature changes.

The glass surroundings temperature sensor is integrated with the air conditioning thermistor assembly.

   INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY (GLASS SURROUNDINGS TEMPERATURE SENSOR)

   
   
   1. 
      

      Remove the air conditioning thermistor assembly (glass surroundings temperature sensor) (Click here).

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

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 (SEG3) - 2 (TNG) 10°C (50°F) 5.92 to 6.09 kΩ 1 (SEG3) - 2 (TNG) 15°C (59°F) 4.94 to 5.07 kΩ 1 (SEG3) - 2 (TNG) 20°C (68°F) 4.20 to 4.29 kΩ 1 (SEG3) - 2 (TNG) 25°C (77°F) 3.64 to 3.70 kΩ 1 (SEG3) - 2 (TNG) 30°C (86°F) 3.19 to 3.26 kΩ 1 (SEG3) - 2 (TNG) 35°C (95°F) 2.85 to 2.91 kΩ 1 (SEG3) - 2 (TNG) 40°C (104°F) 2.58 to 2.64 kΩ 1 (SEG3) - 2 (TNG) 45°C (113°F) 2.37 to 2.43 kΩ 1 (SEG3) - 2 (TNG) 50°C (122°F) 2.21 to 2.26 kΩ 1 (SEG3) - 2 (TNG) 55°C (131°F) 2.07 to 2.12 kΩ 1 (SEG3) - 2 (TNG) 60°C (140°F) 1.97 to 2.01 kΩ

      Note:
      

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

      • When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.
