Toyota Tundra Service Manual: Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit (B1413/13)

Toyota Tundra Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System(for Manual Air Conditioning System) / Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit (B1413/13)

DESCRIPTION

The No. 1 cooler thermistor is installed on the evaporator in the air conditioner unit to detect the cooled air temperature that has passed through the evaporator and control the air conditioning. It sends appropriate signals to the air conditioning amplifier. The resistance of the No. 1 cooler thermistor changes in accordance with the cooled air temperature that has passed through the evaporator. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The air conditioning amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the No. 1 cooler thermistor and reads voltage changes as the resistance of the No. 1 cooler thermistor changes. This sensor is used for frost prevention.

25°C (77°F)

1.38 to 1.64 kΩ

30°C (86°F)

1.11 to 1.32 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).
