DTC B1412/12 Ambient Temperature Sensor Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The ambient temperature sensor is installed in front of the condenser to detect the ambient temperature which is used to control the air conditioner "AUTO" mode. This sensor is connected to the A/C amplifier and detects fluctuations in the ambient temperature. This data is used for controlling the cabin temperature. The sensor sends a signal to the A/C amplifier. The resistance of the 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 A/C amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the ambient temperature sensor and
reads voltage changes as
the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor changes.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the intelligent tester main switch on.
(c) Select the item below in the DATA LIST, and read the display on the intelligent tester.
DATA LIST / AIR CONDITIONER:
OK: The display is as specified in the normal condition column.
Result
2 INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(a) Remove the ambient temperature sensor.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
NOTICE:
HINT: As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).
3 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR - A/C AMPLIFIER)
(a) Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor connector.
(b) Disconnect the A/C amplifier connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance

Trouble in Passenger Airbag ON / OFF Indicator
DESCRIPTION
The occupant classification system detects the front passenger seat
condition. It then informs a
passenger of the front passenger airbag, the front seat side airbag RH and front
seat belt pretensioner
RH condition (activated/not activated) by the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator. ...
Poor Sound Quality in All Modes (Low Volume)
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 CHECK AUDIO SETTINGS
Set "BASS", "MID" and "TREB" to the initial values and
check that sound is normal.
OK:
Malfunction disappears.
2 COMPARE WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE OF SAME MODEL
Compare with another vehicle of the same model.
