DESCRIPTION
The cooler (room temp. sensor) thermistor 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 (room temp. sensor) thermistor 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 (room temp. sensor) thermistor and reads voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the cooler (room temp. sensor) thermistor.
DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | Memory |
---|---|---|---|---|
B1411/11 | Room Temperature Sensor Circuit | Open or short in room temperature sensor circuit |
| Memorized (4 sec. or more)* |
HINT:
If the cabin temperature is approximately -18.6°C (-1.48°F) or lower, DTC B1411/11 may be output even though the system is normal.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
1 - 2 | 10°C (50°F) | 3.00 to 3.73 kΩ |
15°C (59°F) | 2.45 to 2.88 kΩ | |
20°C (68°F) | 1.95 to 2.30 kΩ | |
25°C (77°F) | 1.60 to 1.80 kΩ | |
30°C (86°F) | 1.28 to 1.47 kΩ | |
35°C (95°F) | 1.00 to 1.22 kΩ | |
40°C (104°F) | 0.80 to 1.00 kΩ | |
45°C (113°F) | 0.65 to 0.85 kΩ | |
50°C (122°F) | 0.50 to 0.70 kΩ | |
55°C (131°F) | 0.44 to 0.60 kΩ | |
60°C (140°F) | 0.36 to 0.50 kΩ |
NOTICE:
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).
