1. INSPECT EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR


    E138242E81

  1. 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 (32°F)
    		4.40 to 5.35 kΩ
    1 - 2
    		5°C (41°F)
    		3.40 to 4.15 kΩ
    1 - 2
    		10°C (50°F)
    		2.70 to 3.25 kΩ
    1 - 2
    		15°C (59°F)
    		2.14 to 2.58 kΩ
    1 - 2
    		20°C (68°F)
    		1.71 to 2.05 kΩ
    1 - 2
    		25°C (77°F)
    		1.38 to 1.64 kΩ
    1 - 2
    		30°C (86°F)
    		1.11 to 1.32 kΩ

    NOTICE:
    1. Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensor may change the resistance value.
    2. 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.
