Ambient Sensor
After disconnecting ambient sensor connector E38, measure resis-

below.
If NG, replace ambient sensor.
In-Vehicle Sensor CircuitEJS004YQ
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
In-vehicle Sensor
The in-vehicle sensor is located on instrument driver lower panel. It
converts variations in temperature of compartment air drawn from
the aspirator into a resistance value. It is then input into the auto
amp.
Aspirator
The aspirator is located on front side of heater & cooling unit. It pro-
duces vacuum pressure due to air discharged from the heater &
cooling unit, continuously taking compartment air in the aspirator.

engine) or dual-pressure switch connector (With YD engine).
6. Remove front grille and radiator mounting bracket.
7. Remove mounting nuts from condenser.
8. Remove radiator from lower mount, move it to engine side, and
then remove condenser between radiator and radiator core sup-
port.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the core surface of condenser and
radiator.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace the O-rings of high-pressure pipe and high-pressure flexible hose with new ones, then
apply compressor oil to them after installing them.

When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
