DTC B141A-11: Room Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Ground [11/2021 - ]: Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2025 Lexus NX 350, 2025 Lexus NX 250, 2024 Lexus NX 350, 2024 Lexus NX 250, and 2023 Lexus NX 350. 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).
