AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:B1411/11

DTC Code DTC Name
B1411/11 Room Temperature Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) for the front seat is installed in the instrument panel to detect the room temperature and control the heater and air conditioner auto mode. The resistance of the room temperature sensor changes in accordance with the front room temperature. 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 room temperature sensor and reads voltage changes as the resistance of the room temperature sensor changes. This sensor also sends the appropriate signals to the air conditioning amplifier assembly.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
B1411/11 An open or short in the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) circuit.

  • Cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor)

  • Harness or connector between cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) and air conditioning amplifier assembly

  • Air conditioning amplifier assembly
