Inspection steps
- Reading of SSM4 data (ambient temperature input value)
- 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 DESCRIPTIONResult 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.
- Checking diagnostic codes
- Clear the diagnostic code using the SSM4. (Refer to CHECKING/CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC CODES )
- 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
- Unit inspection of thermistor ASSY
- Remove the thermistor ASSY. (Refer to COOLER THERMISTOR (AMBIENT SENSOR) )
- 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
- Inspection of wire harness and connector (thermistor ASSY - combination meter ASSY)NOTE: For inspection procedures and precautions, Refer to SYMPTOM TABLE .
- Disconnect connector D7 of the combination meter ASSY.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals. (For terminal arrangement, Refer to ECM TERMINAL ARRANGEMENT .)
STANDARD VALUE SPECIFICATION - RESISTANCE (OPEN CIRCUIT CHECK)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
