Inspection Procedure

1. Remove the A/C amplifier with the connectors still connected.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
3. Measure the voltage between terminals FRTR (A48-17) and FRSG (A48-18) of A/C amplifier connector at each temperature.

   Standard voltage: 

   1.8 to 2.2 V at 25°C (77°F) 

   1.2 to 1.6 V at 40°C (104°F) 

   HINT:

   • As the temperature increases, the voltage decreases.
   • However, if DTC 11 is displayed, check and replace the A/C amplifier.

NG: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the R7 front room temperature sensor connector.
2. Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 the of front room temperature sensor connector at each temperature.

   Standard resistance: 

   1.65 to 1.75 kΩ at 25°C (77°F) 

   0.55 to 0.65 kΩ at 50°C (122°F) 

   HINT:

   As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

NG: REPLACE FRONT ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR
