Toyota Tundra Service Manual: Room Temperature Sensor Circuit (B1411/11)

Toyota Tundra Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System(for Automatic Air Conditioning System) / Room Temperature Sensor Circuit (B1411/11)

DESCRIPTION

The room temperature sensor is installed in the instrument panel to detect the room temperature and control the heater and air conditioner "AUTO" mode. The resistance of the room temperature sensor changes in accordance with the room temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The air conditioning amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the room temperature sensor and reads voltage changes as the resistance of the room temperature sensor changes. This sensor also sends the appropriate signals to the air conditioning amplifier.

2.	INSPECT ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR

(a) Remove the room temperature sensor (see page ).

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

Standard resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
1 - 2	10°C (50°F)	3.00 to 3.73 kΩ
	15°C (59°F)	2.45 to 2.88 kΩ
	20°C (68°F)	1.95 to 2.30 kΩ
	25°C (77°F)	1.60 to 1.80 kΩ
	30°C (86°F)	1.28 to 1.47 kΩ
	35°C (95°F)	1.00 to 1.22 kΩ
	40°C (104°F)	0.80 to 1.00 kΩ
	45°C (113°F)	0.65 to 0.85 kΩ
	50°C (122°F)	0.50 to 0.70 kΩ
	55°C (131°F)	0.44 to 0.60 kΩ
	60°C (140°F)	0.36 to 0.50 kΩ

NOTICE:

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 the same as the ambient temperature.

HINT:

As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).

REPLACE ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR

3.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER)

(a) Disconnect the J16 sensor connector.

(b) Disconnect the J19 air conditioning amplifier connector.

Standard resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
J16-1 - J19-29 (TR)	Always	Below 1 Ω
J16-2 - J19-34 (SG-1)	Always	Below 1 Ω
J16-1 or J19-29 (TR) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
J16-2 or J19-34 (SG-1) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
