DTC

B1411/11

Room Temperature Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The room temperature sensor is installed in the instrument panel. It detects the cabin temperature to control the air conditioning AUTO mode. The resistance of the room temperature sensor changes in accordance with the cabin temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The air conditioning amplifier 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 appropriate signals to the air conditioning amplifier.

NOTICE:

  • 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.

HINT:

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