Title: HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM: DESCRIPTION (2008 LX570)

DTC

B1468/68

Rear Passenger Side Room Temperature Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The rear room temperature sensor RH is installed in the rear quarter trim board RH to detect the rear room temperature and control the heater and air conditioner auto mode. The resistance of the rear room temperature sensor RH changes in accordance with the rear room temperature for RH seat. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies a voltage (5 V) to the rear room temperature sensor RH and reads voltage changes as changes in the resistance of the rear room temperature sensor RH.

Normal Condition

Diagnostic Note

Room Temperature Sensor (RP)

Rear room temperature sensor RH /

Min.: -6.5°C (20.3°F)

Max.: 57.25°C (135.05°F)

Actual rear room temperature for RH seat displayed

Open in the circuit: -19°C (-2.2°F).

Short in the circuit: 70°C (158°F).

OK:

The display is as specified in the normal condition.

OK

2.

INSPECT REAR ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR RH



(a) Remove the rear room temperature sensor RH HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR (for Rear Side): REMOVAL (2008 LX570) .

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

NOTICE:

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

HINT:

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

OK
