Ambient Temperature Sensor

Components COMPONENTS ILLUSTRATION
Inspection INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT AMBIENT 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
1 - 2	15 °C	2.45 to 2.88 kΩ
1 - 2	20 °C	1.95 to 2.30 kΩ
1 - 2	25 °C	1.60 to 1.80 kΩ
1 - 2	30 °C	1.28 to 1.47 kΩ
1 - 2	35 °C	1.00 to 1.22 kΩ
1 - 2	40 °C	0.80 to 1.00 kΩ
1 - 2	45 °C	0.65 to 0.85 kΩ
1 - 2	50 °C	0.50 to 0.70 kΩ
1 - 2	55 °C	0.44 to 0.60 kΩ
1 - 2	60 °C	0.36 to 0.50 kΩ

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).

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the ambient temperature sensor.
