| 1. |
The ambient temperature sensor is located at the front of the
condenser and detects ambient air temperature. It is a negative type
thermistor resistance will increase with lower temperature, and decrease
with higher temperatures. |
| 2. |
The sensor output will be used for discharge temperature
control, temperature regulation door control, blower motor level
control, mix mode control and in-car humidity control.

Inspection 1. Ignition "ON" 2. Using the scan tool. 3. Emit intensive light toward photo sensor using a lamp, and check the output voltage change.
Inspection 1. Ignition "OFF" 2. Disconnect ambient temperature sensor. 3. Check the resistance of ambient temperature sensor between terminals 1 and 2 whether it is changed by changing of the ambient temperature.
Troubleshooting Problem Symptoms Table Before replacing or repairing air conditioning components, first determine if the malfunction is due to the refrigerant charge, air flow or compressor. Use the table below to help you find the cause of the problem.
