DTC B14A8: Glass Temperature Sensor Circuit [10/2014 - ]: Procedure

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Data List.
    5. Check the value(s) by referring to the table below.
      AIR CONDITIONER

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Glass Temperature Glass temperature /
      Min.: -327.68°C (-557.82°F)
      Max.: 327.67°C (621.81°F)
      Actual glass temperature displayed -

      OK

      The display is as specified in the normal condition column.

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ] )

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  2

  2. INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY (GLASS TEMPERATURE SENSOR) 
    1. Remove the air conditioning thermistor assembly (glass temperature sensor) (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ] ).

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

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 10°C (50°F) 5.92 to 6.09 kΩ
      1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 15°C (59°F) 4.94 to 5.07 kΩ
      1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 20°C (68°F) 4.20 to 4.29 kΩ
      1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 25°C (77°F) 3.64 to 3.70 kΩ
      1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 30°C (86°F) 3.19 to 3.26 kΩ
      1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 35°C (95°F) 2.85 to 2.91 kΩ
      1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 40°C (104°F) 2.58 to 2.64 kΩ
      1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 45°C (113°F) 2.37 to 2.43 kΩ
      1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 50°C (122°F) 2.21 to 2.26 kΩ
      1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 55°C (131°F) 2.07 to 2.12 kΩ
      1 (SEG3) - 4 (TFG) 60°C (140°F) 1.97 to 2.01 kΩ
      NOTE:
      • Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensor may change the resistance value.
      • When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.

    REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY - GLASS TEMPERATURE SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the D62 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N3-4 (TFG) - D62-6 (TFG) Always Below 1 Ω
      N3-4 (TFG) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      N3-1 (SEG3) - D62-35 (SG-4) Always Below 1 Ω
      N3-1 (SEG3) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [10/2014 - ] )

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
