THERMOCOUPLE TYPE

Attaching Thermocouple Clamp To Liquid Line:

To diagnose the LH A/C system, a temperature probe is required to measure liquid line temperature. The clamp-on type K probe shown here is available through the Chrysler Professional Service Equipment (PSE) program. This probe is compatible with temperature-measuring instruments that accept Type K Thermocouples and have a miniature connector input. Other temperature probes are available through aftermarket sources. All references will reflect the use of the probe made available through the Professional Service Equipment program.

THERMOCOUPLE USE
In order to use the temperature probe, a digital thermometer will be required. If a digital thermometer is not available, an adapter is available through the Professional Service Equipment program. It can convert any standard digital multimeter into a thermometer. This adapter is designed to accept any standard K-type thermocouple.
