Evaporator Temperature
SensorPower Transistor
Test
Dip the sensor in ice water, and measure the resistance
with a digital multimeter. Then pour hot water on the
sensor, and check lor change in resistance.
Compare the resistance reading between the No. | 8nd
No. 2 terminals of the evaporator temperature sensor
with the specifications shown in the following graph;
resistance should be within the specifications.

1.Disconnect the 3P connector from the oower tran-
st$or.
Carefully release the lock tab on the No. 2 terminal in
the 3P connector, then remove the terminal and insu-
late it from body ground.
Connect a 1.2 - 3.4 W bulb between the No, 1 and
the No,2 cavity on the 3P connectol
Reconnect the 3P connector to the power transistor.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). and check that the
blower motor runs.
a lf the blower motor runs at half soeed the oower
transistor is OK, replace the heater control panel.
. lf ths blower motor does not run at half soeed,
reDlaca the Dower transistor.

Install in the reverse order of removal, and note of
these items.
. lf you're installing a new evaporator, add refrig-
erant oil (SP.10) (see page 22-541.
Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fit-
ting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil
before installing them. Be su.e to use the right
O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134alto avoid leakage.
Apply sealant to the grommets.
Make sure that there is no air Ieakage.
Charge the system (see page 22-6'll, and test its
performance (see page 22-56]-,

}-Overhaul
1. Remove the filter lid. then pull out the A/C filter
assembly.
Pull out the evaporator temperature sensor from
the evaporator fins.
Remove the self-tapping screws and the clamps
from the housings.
Carefully separate the housings, then remove the
evaporator.
lf necessary, remove the expansion valve When
loosening the nuts of the expansion valve, use a sec-
ond wrench to hold the expansion valve or the evapo-
rator line. Otherwise, they can be damaged.
6. Reassemble the evaporator in the reverse order of
disassembly. Make note of these items.
. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting,
and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before
installing them. Be sure to use the right O-rings
for HFC-'134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
. Install the expansion valve capillary tube with
the capillary tube in contact with the outlet line
directly, and wrap it with electricaltape.
. Reinstall the evaporator temperature sensor to
its original location.
. Make sure that there is no air leakage.
ELECTRICAL TAPEReplace.Make sure there is no foreign matter stuck between
the capillary tube and outlet line.

SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section {24) before performing repairs or ser-
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
2. From under the hood, open the cable clamp, then dis-
connect the heater valve cable from the heater valve
arm. Turn the heater valve arm to the fullv ooened
oosition as shown.
When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant
from the radiator (see section 10).
@ Do not remove the rldiator cap when
the engine is hot; the engine coolant is under pres-
sure and could sevo.ely scald you.
