INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT EVAPORATOR 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 (14°F)

7.30 to 9.10 kΩ

1 - 2

-5°C (23°F)

5.65 to 6.95 kΩ

1 - 2

0 °C

4.40 to 5.35 kΩ

1 - 2

5 °C

3.40 to 4.15 kΩ

1 - 2

10 °C

2.70 to 3.25 kΩ

1 - 2

15 °C

2.14 to 2.58 kΩ

1 - 2

20 °C

1.71 to 2.05 kΩ

1 - 2

25 °C

1.38 to 1.64 kΩ

1 - 2

30 °C

1.11 to 1.32 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 evaporator temperature sensor.
