Removal REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
NOTICE:
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (See page
).
2. REMOVE NO. 2 SWITCH HOLE BASE

6. REMOVE COOLER THERMISTOR (ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR)
(a) Disconnect the connector and hose.
(b) Detach the 2 claws and remove the cooler thermistor.
Inspection INSPECTION PROCEDURE1. INSPECT COOLER THERMISTOR (ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR)
(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
1 - 2 |
10 °C |
3.00 to 3.73 kΩ |
15 °C |
2.45 to 2.88 kΩ |
|
20 °C |
1.95 to 2.30 kΩ |
|
25 °C |
1.60 to 1.80 kΩ |
|
30 °C |
1.28 to 1.47 kΩ |
|
35 °C |
1.00 to 1.22 kΩ |
|
40 °C |
0.80 to 1.00 kΩ |
|
45 °C |
0.65 to 0.85 kΩ |
|
50 °C |
0.50 to 0.70 kΩ |
|
55 °C |
0.44 to 0.60 kΩ |
|
60 °C |
0.36 to 0.50 kΩ |
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (refer to the graph).
NOTICE:
- Touching the sensor even slightly may change the resistance value. Hold the connector of the sensor.
- When measuring the resistance, make sure the sensor temperature is the same as the ambient temperature.
If the result is not as specified, replace the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor).
