AIR CONDITIONING – AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Automatic Air Conditioning Sys-
tem)AC–29
AC
DESCRIPTION
The ambient temperature sensor is installed in front of the condenser to detect the ambient temperature
which is used to control the air conditioner "AUTO" mode. This sensor is connected to the A/C amplifier
and detects fluctuations in the ambient temperature. This data is used for controlling the cabin
temperature. The sensor sends a signal to the A/C amplifier. The resistance of the ambient temperature
sensor changes in accordance with the ambient temperature. As the temperature decreases, the
resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The A/C amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the ambient temperature sensor and reads voltage changes as
the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor changes.

AIR CONDITIONING – AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Automatic Air Conditioning Sys-
tem)AC–33
AC
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) is installed on the evaporator in the air conditioning
unit. It detects the temperature of the cooled air that has passed through the evaporator and its signal is
used to control the air conditioning. It sends a signal to the A/C amplifier. The resistance of the evaporator
temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) changes in accordance with the temperature of the cooled air that
has passed through the evaporator. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the
temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The A/C amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) and reads
voltage changes as the resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor (A/C thermistor) changes. This
sensor is used to prevent the evaporator from freezing.

DESCRIPTION
The rear evaporator temperature sensor is installed on the rear evaporator. It detects the rear evaporator
temperature. The sensor sends a signal to the A/C amplifier. The resistance of the rear evaporator
temperature sensor changes in accordance with the rear evaporator temperature. As the temperature
decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The A/C amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the rear evaporator temperature sensor and reads voltage
changes as the resistance of the rear evaporator temperature sensor changes.

HINT:
• If DTC B1244 is output at the same time, troubleshoot DTC B1244 first (See page LI-16).
• If the check is performed in a dark place, DTC B1421/21 or B1424/24 (solar sensor circuit abnormal)
may be output even though the system is normal.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the
intelligent tester main switch on.
(c) Expose the sensing portion of the solar sensor to light.
HINT:
Use an incandescent light for inspection.
(d) Select the item below in the DATA LIST, and read the

AC–48AIR CONDITIONING – AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Automatic Air Conditioning Sys-
tem)
AC
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM sends an engine speed signal to the A/C amplifier via CAN communication and BEAN
communication.
The A/C amplifier reads the difference between compressor speed and engine speed. When the
difference becomes too large, the A/C amplifier determines that the compressor locks, and turns the
magnetic clutch off.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
(a) Use the intelligent tester to check if the CAN
communication system is functioning normally.
