AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Automatic Air Conditioning System), Diagnostic DTC:B1468/68

DTC Code DTC Name
B1468/68 Rear Passenger Side Room Temperature Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The rear room temperature sensor RH*1 or LH*2 (for front passenger side) is installed in the rear quarter trim board RH*1 or LH*2 to detect the rear room temperature and control the heater and air conditioner "auto" mode. The resistance of the rear room temperature sensor RH*1 or LH*2 changes in accordance with the rear room temperature for RH*1 or LH*2 seat. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The air conditioning amplifier applies a voltage (5 V) to the rear room temperature sensor RH*1 or LH*2 and reads voltage changes as changes in the resistance of the rear room temperature sensor RH*1 or LH*2.

  2. INSPECT REAR ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR

    A0157GME03

    1. for LHD

      Remove the rear room temperature sensor RH Click here.

    2. for RHD

      Remove the rear room temperature sensor LH Click here.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 (+) - 2 (-) 10°C (50°F) 3.00 to 3.73 kΩ
      15°C (59°F) 2.45 to 2.88 kΩ
      20°C (68°F) 1.95 to 2.30 kΩ
      25°C (77°F) 1.60 to 1.80 kΩ
      30°C (86°F) 1.28 to 1.47 kΩ
      35°C (95°F) 1.00 to 1.22 kΩ
      40°C (104°F) 0.80 to 1.00 kΩ
      45°C (113°F) 0.65 to 0.85 kΩ
      50°C (122°F) 0.50 to 0.70 kΩ
      55°C (131°F) 0.44 to 0.60 kΩ
      60°C (140°F) 0.36 to 0.50 kΩ

      Note

      Even slightly touching the sensor may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.

      Tech Tips

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