Component Inspection (Thermal Electric Device)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK THERMAL ELECTRIC DEVICE
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect thermal electric device connector.
- Measure the resistance of the thermal electric device between terminals 1 and 2.
NOTE: The resistance value in the table below will change under any of the following conditions:- air blowing across the thermal electric device
- changing the surrounding temperature of the thermal electric device
- measuring at other than 23°C (73°F)
RESISTANCE REFERENCEThermal electric device terminals Temperature Resistance 1 2 23°C (73°F) 0.9 - 10 Ω Is the inspection result normal?

YES: GO TO 2.
NO: Replace thermal electric device. Refer to "EXPLODED VIEW ".
- CHECK THERMAL ELECTRIC DEVICE SENSOR
Measure the resistance of the thermal electric device sensor between terminals 3 and 4.
RESISTANCE REFERENCEThermal electric device terminals Temperature Resistance 3 4 0 - 10°C (32 - 50°F) 2785- 1660 Ω 10 - 20°C (50 - 68°F) 1840 - 1135 Ω 20 - 30°C (68 - 86°F) 1265 - 800 Ω 30 - 40°C (86 - 104°F) 895 - 565 Ω 40 - 50°C (104 - 122°F) 635 - 425 Ω Courtesy of NISSAN MOTOR CO., U.S.A.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES: Inspection End.
NO: Replace thermal electric device. Refer to "EXPLODED VIEW ".
