DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) is installed on the evaporator in the air conditioning unit. It detects the temperature of the cooled air that has passed through the evaporator and its signal is used to control the air conditioning. It sends a signal to the A/C amplifier. The resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor (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 A/C amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the evaporator temperature sensor
(A/C thermistor) and reads
voltage changes as the resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor (A/C
thermistor) changes. This
sensor is used to prevent the evaporator from freezing.

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 EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(a) Disconnect the connector from the evaporator 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 (EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR - A/C AMPLIFIER)
(a) Disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor connector.
(b) Disconnect the A/C amplifier connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
