DTC B1412 Ambient Temperature Sensor Circuit


DESCRIPTION

The cooler thermistor (ambient temperature sensor) is installed in the front part of the cooler condenser assembly. This sensor is connected to the air conditioning amplifier assembly and detects fluctuations in the ambient temperature. The sensor sends a signal to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The resistance of the cooler thermistor (ambient temperature sensor) changes in accordance with the ambient temperature. 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 cooler thermistor (ambient temperature sensor) and reads voltage changes as changes in the resistance of the cooler thermistor (ambient temperature sensor).

  1. Remove the cooler thermistor (ambient temperature sensor) (Click here).

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

    Standard Resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    1 - 2
    		10°C (50°F)
    		3.00 to 3.73 kΩ
    15°C (59°F)
    		2.45 to 2.88 kΩ
    20°C (68°F)
    		1.95 to 2.30 kΩ
    25°C (77°F)
    		1.60 to 1.80 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 (refer to the graph).

3.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COOLER THERMISTOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER)

  1. Disconnect the A14 cooler thermistor (ambient temperature sensor) connector.

  1. Disconnect the E81 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

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

    Standard Resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    A14-1 - E81-5 (TAM)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
