Title: INTERIOR PANELS / TRIM: FRONT CONSOLE BOX (w/ Cool Box): INSPECTION (2008 LX570)

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT COOLER CONTROL SWITCH SUB-ASSEMBLY


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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Switch Condition

Specified Condition

1 - 2

On

Below 1 Ω

1 - 2

Off

10 kΩ or higher

(b) Apply battery voltage to the cooler control switch connector and check that the indicator illuminates.

OK:

Measurement Condition

Specified Condition

Battery positive (+) → Terminal 3

Battery negative (-) → Terminal 4

Indicator illuminates

If the result is not as specified, replace the cooler control switch sub-assembly.

2. INSPECT NO. 1 COOLER BLOWER MOTOR SUB-ASSEMBLY



(a) Apply battery voltage to the blower motor connector and check the operation of the blower motor.

OK:

Measurement Condition

Specified Condition

Battery positive (+) → Terminal 1

Battery negative (-) → Terminal 2

Motor operates smoothly

If the result is not as specified, replace the blower motor sub-assembly.

3. INSPECT NO. 3 COOLER THERMISTOR


(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)

7.40 to 9.20 kΩ

1 - 2

-5°C (23°F)

5.65 to 7.00 kΩ

1 - 2

0°C (32°F)

4.35 to 5.40 kΩ

1 - 2

5°C (41°F)

3.40 to 4.20 kΩ

1 - 2

10°C (50°F)

2.68 to 3.30 kΩ

1 - 2

15°C (59°F)

2.10 to 2.60 kΩ

1 - 2

20°C (68°F)

1.66 to 2.10 kΩ

1 - 2

25°C (77°F)

1.32 to 1.66 kΩ

1 - 2

30°C (86°F)

1.05 to 1.35 kΩ

If the result is not as specified, replace the cooler thermistor.

NOTICE:

  • Even slightly touching the sensor may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
  • When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

HINT:

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