Ignition "OFF"
Disconnect ambient sensor and Connect A/C control Module main harness connector.
Measure resistance between Signal(+) terminal of ambient sensor harness connector and Sensor ground harness connector. (Component side)
Specification : Refer the specifications in Fig.1)
Temperature(℃/℉) | Resistance(㏀) | Temperature(℃/℉) | Resistance(㏀) |
-20/-4 | 271.4 | 50/122 | 11 |
0/32 | 95.1 | 60/140 | 7.58 |
25/77 | 30 |
Fig.1) ※ Specifications : Resistance value of ambient sensor as a function of temperature .
※ The actual value may differ from it according to various engine condition.
Is "resistance" display near the specified value?
![]() | ▶ Go to "Check A/C control Module" procedure. |
![]() | ▶ Substitute with a known-good ambient sensor and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ambient sensor and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure. |
Ignition "OFF"
Disconnect Ambient Temp. sensor (+) and Connect A/C control Module main harness connector.
Ignition "ON"(ENGINE "OFF").
Measure voltage between Signal(+) terminal of Ambient Temp. sensor (+) harness connector and chassis ground. (Component side)
Specification : approx. 5V
Is "voltage" display near the specified value?
![]() | ▶ Check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure. |
![]() | ▶ Substitute with a known-good A/C control Module and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace A/C control Module and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure. |
