        *c Resistance (kΩ)
        *d Temperature (°C (°F))

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

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

        1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 20°C (68°F) 4.20 to 4.29 kΩ
        1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 25°C (77°F) 3.64 to 3.70 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.

        Tech Tips

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

        If the resistance is not as specified, replace the air conditioning thermistor assembly (glass temperature sensor).

        Note


        • Do not touch the sensor as body heat will affect the inspection results. When performing the inspection, hold the sensor by its connector.

        • Allow the sensor to acclimate to the ambient temperature and humidity before performing the inspection.

        • The specified voltages in the table above are based on inspections performed when the ambient temperature is 25°C (77°F).

        Tech Tips

        As the humidity increases, the voltage increases (see the graph).

        If the voltage is not as specified, replace the air conditioning thermistor assembly (glass humidity sensor).
