DESCRIPTION
The cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) is installed in the instrument panel to detect the cabin temperature, which is used to control the air conditioning system. The resistance of the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) changes in accordance with the cabin temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies voltage (5 V) to the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) and reads voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor).

PROCEDURE
1. | READ VALUE USING GTS (ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR) |
(a) Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.
Body Electrical > Air Conditioner > Data List Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
---|---|---|---|---|
Room Temperature Sensor | Cooler (room temp. sensor) thermistor | Min.: -327.68°C (-557.82°F) Max.: 327.67°C (621.81°F) | Actual cabin temperature displayed | Cooler (room temp. sensor) thermistor circuit malfunction |

3. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COOLER (ROOM TEMP. SENSOR) THERMISTOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Disconnect the H25 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
H58-1 (+) or H25-5 (TR) - Other terminals and body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
H58-2 (-) or H25-3 (SG-1) - Other terminals and body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
OK | REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY |
NG | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
WARNING
When removing the fuel-filler cap, loosen the cap slightly and wait for any hissing to stop, then remove it
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can burn skin and eyes and cause illness if ingested. Fuel spray is released when there is pressure in the fuel tank and the fuel-filler cap is removed too quickly.
