DTC B141A-11: Room Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Ground [11/2021 - ]: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus NX 350h, 2024 Lexus NX 350h, 2023 Lexus NX 350h, and 2022 Lexus NX 350h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The room temp. sensor (cooler thermistor) is installed in the instrument panel to detect the cabin temperature, which is used to control the air conditioning system. The resistance of the room temp. sensor (cooler thermistor) changes in accordance with the cabin temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies voltage to the room temp. sensor (cooler thermistor) and reads voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the room temp. sensor (cooler thermistor).
