Toyota Yaris: Air Conditioning System / Ambient Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Ground (P007011)

Toyota Yaris XP210 (2020-2025) Reapir and Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Heating / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System / Ambient Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Ground (P007011)

DESCRIPTION

The thermistor assembly is installed in front of the cooler condenser assembly to detect the ambient temperature, which is used to control the air conditioning system. This sensor is connected to the combination meter assembly and detects fluctuations in the ambient temperature. This data is used for controlling the cabin temperature. The resistance of the thermistor assembly changes in accordance with the ambient temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The combination meter assembly applies voltage (5 V) to the thermistor assembly and reads voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the thermistor assembly. The air conditioning amplifier assembly communicates with the combination meter assembly via CAN communication. The combination meter assembly sends ambient temperature signal to the air conditioning amplifier assembly.

3.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY - COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - BODY GROUND)

(a) Disconnect the H6 combination meter assembly connector.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A52-1 (SO-) or H6-11 (TX1-) - Other terminals and body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
A52-2 (SO+) or H6-16 (TX1+) - Other terminals and body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
