Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Testing and Inspection
INSPECT A/C AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSORa. Remove the A/C ambient temperature sensor.
b. Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of A/C ambient temperature sensor at each temperature, as shown in the table.
NOTE:
- Even slightly touching the sensor may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
- When measuring, the sensor temperature must be almost the same as the ambient temperature.
HINT: As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
If the resistance value is not as specified, replace the sensor.
