DTC    B1413/13    Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit

for Preparation Click here


DESCRIPTION

The evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) is installed on the evaporator in the air conditioner unit to detect the cooled air temperature that has passed through the evaporator and control the air conditioning. It sends the appropriate signals to the A/C amplifier. The resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) changes in accordance with the cooled air temperature that has passed through the evaporator. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The A/C amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) and reads voltage changes as the resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) changes. This sensor is used for frost prevention.

2.INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS
E107003E04

  1. Remove the air conditioning harness (evaporator temperature sensor).

  1. Measure the resistance of the harness.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    5 - 6
    		-10°C (14°F)
    		7.30 to 9.10 kΩ
    5 - 6
    		-5°C (23°F)
    		5.65 to 6.95 kΩ
    5 - 6
    		0°C (32°F)
    		4.40 to 5.35 kΩ
    5 - 6
    		5°C (41°F)
    		3.40 to 4.15 kΩ
    5 - 6
    		10°C (50°F)
    		2.70 to 3.25 kΩ
    5 - 6
    		15°C (59°F)
    		2.14 to 2.58 kΩ
    5 - 6
    		20°C (68°F)
    		1.71 to 2.05 kΩ
    5 - 6
    		25°C (77°F)
    		1.38 to 1.64 kΩ
    5 - 6
    		30°C (86°F)
    		1.11 to 1.32 kΩ

    NOTICE:
    1. Even slightly touching the sensor may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
    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).
