Inspection
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.
