INSPECTION

1. INSPECT DUCT TEMPERATURE SENSOR



(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

1 - 2

at 10°C (50°F)

9.4 to 10.5 kΩ

1 - 2

at 15°C (59°F)

7.5 to 8.3 kΩ

1 - 2

at 20°C (68°F)

6.0 to 6.5 kΩ

1 - 2

at 25°C (77°F)

4.8 to 5.2 kΩ

1 - 2

at 30°C (86°F)

3.8 to 4.2 kΩ

1 - 2

at 35°C (95°F)

3.1 to 3.4 kΩ

1 - 2

at 40°C (104°F)

2.5 to 2.8 kΩ

1 - 2

at 45°C (113°F)

2.0 to 2.3 kΩ

1 - 2

at 50°C (122°F)

1.6 to 2.0 kΩ

1 - 2

at 55°C (131°F)

1.3 to 1.6 kΩ

1 - 2

at 60°C (140°F)

1.1 to 1.4 kΩ

If the result is not as specified, replace the duct temperature sensor.

NOTICE:

  • Touching the sensor even slightly may change the resistance value. Hold the connector of the sensor.
  • When measuring the resistance, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

HINT:

As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).
