DTC B1411/11: Room Temperature Sensor Circuit: Procedure

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream main switch on.
    3. Select the item below in the Data List, and read the value displayed on the Techstream.

    A: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR (FRONT ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR) 
    1. Remove the room temperature sensor. Refer to REMOVAL .

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D26-1 (+) - D26-2 (-) 10°C (50°F) 3.00 to 3.73 kΩ
      D26-1 (+) - D26-2 (-) 15°C (59°F) 2.45 to 2.88 kΩ
      D26-1 (+) - D26-2 (-) 20°C (68°F) 1.95 to 2.30 kΩ
      D26-1 (+) - D26-2 (-) 25°C (77°F) 1.60 to 1.80 kΩ
      D26-1 (+) - D26-2 (-) 30°C (86°F) 1.28 to 1.47 kΩ
      D26-1 (+) - D26-2 (-) 35°C (95°F) 1.00 to 1.22 kΩ
      D26-1 (+) - D26-2 (-) 40°C (104°F) 0.80 to 1.00 kΩ
      D26-1 (+) - D26-2 (-) 45°C (113°F) 0.65 to 0.85 kΩ
      D26-1 (+) - D26-2 (-) 50°C (122°F) 0.50 to 0.70 kΩ
      D26-1 (+) - D26-2 (-) 55°C (131°F) 0.44 to 0.60 kΩ
      D26-1 (+) - D26-2 (-) 60°C (140°F) 0.36 to 0.50 kΩ
      NOTE:
      • Touching the sensor even slightly may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
      • When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

      HINT: 

      As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph in illustration above).

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER) 
    1. Disconnect the D26 sensor connector.

    2. Disconnect the D37 amplifier connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D26-1 (+) - D37-29 (TR) Always Below 1 Ω
      D26-2 (-) - D37-35 (SG-4) Always Below 1 Ω
      D26-1 (+) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher
      D26-2 (-) - Body ground Always 1 MΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   7 

  4. PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 
  5. REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  6. REPLACE ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR (FRONT ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR). Refer to  REMOVAL 
  7. REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER. Refer to  REMOVAL
