Sensor Testing

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Base, 2D Convertible, 6.5L Eng, Not Available TransSECTION Sensor Testing

With Tester J-22368 installed according to instructions, run engine at a fast idle, set Comfortron control lever to HI-FRONT, set Rocker switch to MANUAL, and set Manual Control Knob to 150 ohms on scale, then proceed as follows:

  1. Set the Tester Voltage switch to AMPLIFIER, and rotate Comfortron Temperature Dial until the Tester voltmeter reads 6.5 volts and Comfortron Temperature Dial should read 75°F. If it does not, see ADJUSTMENT for instructions to set the dial.
  2. Run car at least 10 minutes with windows and doors closed, then switch Rocker switch to AUTOMATIC. Voltage reading should remain 6.5, with a change in voltage indicating a bad sensor.
  3. If a bad sensor is indicated, check each sensor while it is disconnected from the system, using an ohmmeter. Approximate resistance of each sensor at 75°F. should be as follows:
In-Car Sensor 50-75 ohms
Ambient Sensor 55 ohms or less
Feedback Potentiometer 70 ohms (approx.) with "O" vacuum in servo. 15 ohms (approx.) with 10 or more inches of vacuum on servo.
Master Delay Thermistor 70 ohms
High Blower Delay Thermistor 70 ohms
NOTE: See SYSTEM CHECKS chart for details of Feedback Potentiometer check.
RENDER: 1.0x
