DTC |
B141A15 |
Room Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Battery or Open |
DESCRIPTION
The room temp. sensor (cooler thermistor) is installed in the instrument panel to detect the cabin temperature, which is used to control the air conditioning system. The resistance of the room temp. sensor (cooler thermistor) 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 assembly applies voltage to the room temp. sensor (cooler thermistor) and reads voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the room temp. sensor (cooler thermistor).

2. |
CLEAR DTC |
(a) Clear the DTCs.
Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Clear DTCs
|
|
3. |
CHECK FOR DTC |
(a) Turn the ignition switch off.
|
(b) Disconnect the I36 room temp. sensor (cooler thermistor) connector. |
|
|
(c) Connect terminals 1 and 2 of the room temp. sensor (cooler thermistor) connector on the wire harness side. |
|
(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for 4 seconds or more.
(e) Check for DTCs.
