HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR: INSPECTION

1. INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR





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

Standard Resistance:





(a) If the result is not as specified, replace the ambient temperature sensor.

NOTICE:
* Touching the sensor even slightly may change the resistance value. Hold the connector of the sensor.
* When measuring the resistance, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.
HINT
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).
