Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Testing and Inspection

HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (for Hatchback): INSPECTION

1. INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY)

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

Standard Resistance:





NOTICE:
* Even slightly touching the sensor may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the sensor connector.
* When measuring, the thermistor assembly temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

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

* If the result is not as specified, replace the thermistor assembly.
