HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM: B1461/61: Emission Gas NOx Sensor Circuit
B1461/61 - Emission Gas NOx Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The smog ventilation sensor detects NOx in the emission gas and transmits signals to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. Based on the signals, the air conditioning amplifier assembly performs automatic air inlet control (Fresh, Fresh/Recirculation or Recirculation mode).

Text in Illustration





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. INSPECT SMOG VENTILATION SENSOR

(a) Remove the smog ventilation sensor Removal.





(b) Connect a battery positive (+) lead to terminal 3 (IG) and a negative (-) lead to terminal 6 (E).

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

Standard Resistance:





HINT
When the sensor is exposed to the exhaust gas, the resistance increases.

NG -- REPLACE SMOG VENTILATION SENSOR Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.
