Toyota Yaris: Air Conditioning System / Room Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Battery or Open (B141A15)

Toyota Yaris XP210 (2020-2022) Reapir and Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Heating / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System / Room Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Battery or Open (B141A15)

DESCRIPTION

The cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) is installed in the instrument panel to detect the cabin temperature, which is used to control the air conditioning system. The resistance of the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) changes in accordance with the cabin temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies voltage (5 V) to the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) and reads voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor).

3.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COOLER (ROOM TEMP. SENSOR) THERMISTOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY)

(a) Disconnect the H25 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
H58-1 (+) - H25-5 (TR)	Always	Below 1 Ω
H58-2 (-) - H25-3 (SG-1)	Always	Below 1 Ω
H58-1 (+) or H25-5 (TR) - Other terminals and body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
H58-2 (-) or H25-3 (SG-1) - Other terminals and body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
