CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NO. 1 COOLER THERMISTOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER)

DTC 13 Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit


DESCRIPTION

The No. 1 cooler thermistor (A/C thermistor) is installed on the evaporator in the A/C unit. It detects the temperature of the cooled air that has passed through the evaporator which is then used in air conditioning control. The resistance of the No. 1 cooler thermistor (A/C thermistor) changes in accordance with the temperature of the cooled air that has passed through the evaporator. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The air conditioning amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the No. 1 cooler thermistor and reads voltage changes as the resistance of the No. 1 cooler thermistor changes. This thermistor is used for frost prevention.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.CHECK AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY (TE VOLTAGE)


    Toyota Fortuner. Ggn50, 60 Kun51, 61 Tgn51 Lan50.Air Conditioning.Air Conditioning System (For Automatic Air Conditioning System). Dtc 13 Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit

  1. Remove the air conditioning amplifier with its connectors still connected.

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

    Standard Voltage:
    Tester Connection
    		Switch Condition
    		Specified Condition
    A15-1 (TE) - A15-14 (SG-4)
    		Ignition switch ON
    Evaporator temperature: 0°C (32°F)
    		2.0 to 2.4 V
    Ignition switch ON
    Evaporator temperature: 15°C (59°F)
    		1.4 to 1.8 V
    HINT:
    As the temperature increases, the voltage decreases.

  1. Remove the thermistor.

  1. 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)
    		7.30 to 9.10 kΩ
    -5°C (23°F)
    		5.65 to 6.95 kΩ
    0°C (32°F)
    		4.40 to 5.35 kΩ
    5°C (41°F)
    		3.40 to 4.15 kΩ
    10°C (50°F)
    		2.70 to 3.25 kΩ
    15°C (59°F)
    		2.14 to 2.58 kΩ
    20°C (68°F)
    		1.71 to 2.05 kΩ
    25°C (77°F)
    		1.38 to 1.64 kΩ
    30°C (86°F)
    		1.11 to 1.32 kΩ
    NOTICE:
    1. Even slightly touching the thermistor may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the thermistor.
    2. When measuring the resistance, the thermistor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.
    HINT:
    As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (Refer to the graph).
