Inspection steps

  1. Reading of SSM4 data (ambient temperature input value)
    1. On the SSM4, navigate to the [Data monitor] display, and check the computer data. (Refer to DATA MONITOR/ACTIVE TEST )

    Criteria

    SSM4 screen: [Each System] →[Combination Meter] →[Data monitor]

    Item name [Item symbol] Description of item/display item Normal value Remarks
    [Ambient Temperature]
    [Ambi Temp]
    Ambient air temperature is displayed.
    Display range: -40 to 87.5°C {-40 to 189.5°F}
     
    • In open circuit: (-40°C (-40°F)) is displayed.
    • In short-circuit: (87.5°C (189.5°F)) is displayed.
    Thermistor ASSY system
    RESULT DESCRIPTION

    Result Go to
    The same value as the ambient temperature sensor is displayed (during the inspection according to the list of diagnostic codes) A
    The same value as the ambient temperature sensor is displayed (during the inspection according to the symptom table) B
    The displayed value is not the same as the ambient temperature sensor C

    A: Go to next step

    B: Perform the circuit test shown on the symptom table.

    (Refer to SYMPTOM TABLE )

    C: Go to Step 3.

  2. Checking diagnostic codes
    1. Clear the diagnostic code using the SSM4. (Refer to CHECKING/CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC CODES )
    2. Using SSM4, check the diagnostic code again. (Refer to CHECKING/CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC CODES )

    Criteria: No DTC output

    NG: Replacement of the combination meter ASSY (Refer to REMOVAL )

    OK: Go to next step

    Complete

  3. Unit inspection of thermistor ASSY
    1. Remove the thermistor ASSY. (Refer to COOLER THERMISTOR (AMBIENT SENSOR) )
    2. Inspect the individual thermistor ASSY. (Refer to UNIT INSPECTION )

    NG: Replacement of thermistor ASSY (Refer to COOLER THERMISTOR (AMBIENT SENSOR) )

    OK: Go to next step

  4. Inspection of wire harness and connector (thermistor ASSY - combination meter ASSY)
    NOTE: For inspection procedures and precautions, Refer to SYMPTOM TABLE .
    1. Disconnect connector D7 of the combination meter ASSY.
    2. Measure the resistance between the terminals. (For terminal arrangement, Refer to ECM TERMINAL ARRANGEMENT .)

    Inspection terminals (Terminal symbol) Inspection conditions Standard value
    A48-1 - D7-24(TAM) Always Less than 1 Ω
    A48-2 - D7-25(SG-) Always Less than 1 Ω
    STANDARD VALUE SPECIFICATION - RESISTANCE (SHORT CIRCUIT CHECK)

    Inspection terminals Inspection conditions Standard value
    A48-1 - Chassis ground Always 10 kΩ or more
    A48-2 - Chassis ground Always 10 kΩ or more

    NG: Repair or replacement of wiring harness or connector

    OK: Go to next step

    Replacement of the combination meter ASSY (Refer to REMOVAL )
