AMBIENT SENSOR
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000001547435
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor is attached on the radiator core support upper. It
detects ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance value
which is then input into the front air control.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The front air control includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the tempera-
ture detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the front air control func-
tion. It only allows the front air control to recognize an ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100
seconds.
As an example, consider stopping for a few minutes after high speed driving. Although the actual ambient tem-
perature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor will increase. This is because the
heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area, location of the ambient sensor.
Ambient Sensor Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000001547436
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AMBIENT SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Ambient sensor circuit is open or shorted. (21 or AUTO21
is indicated on front air control As a result of performing self-diagno-
sis STEP-2.)
1.CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN AMBIENT SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ambient sensor connector E60.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Check voltage between ambient sensor harness connector E60
terminal 2 and ground.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
