Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus IS F. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Select the item below in the Data List, and read the display on the Techstream

      Data List / Air Conditioner 

      DATA LIST / AIR CONDITIONER

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Evaporator Temp Sensor (Evap Temp) Evaporator temperature sensor / Min -29 7°C (-21 46°F) Max 59 55°C (139 19°F) Actual evaporator temperature is displayed Open in circuit -29 7°C (-21 46°F)

      Result Proceed to
      NG A
      OK (When troubleshooting according to the Problem Symptoms Table) B
      OK (When troubleshooting according to the DTC) C

    B: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  (See PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  )

    C: REPLACE A/C AMPLIFIER  (See REMOVAL  )

    A: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
    1. Remove the evaporator temperature sensor.
    2. Disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below

      Standard Resistance 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      e2-1 - e2-2 -10°C (14°F) 7.30 to 9 10 kΩ
      e2-1 - e2-2 -5°C (23°F) 5.65 to 6.95 kΩ
      e2-1 - e2-2 0°C (32°F) 4.40 to 5.35 kΩ
      e2-1 - e2-2 5°C (41°F) 3.40 to 4.15 kΩ
      e2-1 - e2-2 10°C (50°F) 2 70 to 3 25 kΩ
      e2-1 - e2-2 15°C (59°F) 2 14 to 2.58 kΩ
      e2-1 - e2-2 20°C (68°F) 1.71 to 2.05 kΩ
      e2-1 - e2-2 25°C (77°F) 1.38 to 1.64 kΩ
      e2-1 - e2-2 30°C (86°F) 1 11 to 1.32 kΩ
      NOTE:
      • Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensor may change the resistance value.
      • When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

      HINT.

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

    NG: REPLACE EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR  (See REMOVAL  )

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING HARNESS (A/C AMPLIFIER - EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR) 
    1. Remove the air conditioning harness.
      1. Disconnect the A/C amplifier connector.
