   Tester Display	Measurement Item/Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
   Evaporator Fin Temperature	Evaporator temperature sensor / Min.: -29.7°C (-21.46°F) Max.: 59.6°C (139.28°F)	Actual evaporator temperature is displayed	Open circuit: -29.7°C (-21.46°F) Short circuit: 59.6°C (139.28°F)

   OK

   The display is as specified in the normal condition column.

A: Go to next step 

1. Remove the No. 1 cooler thermistor from the front evaporator. Refer to REMOVAL .

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

   Standard resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   1 - 2	-10°C (14°F)	7.30 to 9.10 kΩ
   1 - 2	-5°C (23°F)	5.65 to 6.95 kΩ
   1 - 2	0°C (32°F)	4.40 to 5.35 kΩ
   1 - 2	5°C (41°F)	3.40 to 4.15 kΩ
   1 - 2	10°C (50°F)	2.70 to 3.25 kΩ
   1 - 2	15°C (59°F)	2.14 to 2.58 kΩ
   1 - 2	20°C (68°F)	1.71 to 2.05 kΩ
   1 - 2	25°C (77°F)	1.38 to 1.64 kΩ
   1 - 2	30°C (86°F)	1.11 to 1.32 kΩ

   NOTE:

   • Touching the thermistor even slightly may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the thermistor.
   • When measuring, the thermistor 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   5 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Remove the air conditioning harness.
2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
