Intake Sensor Circuit
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Intake Sensor
The intake sensor is located on the heater & cooling unit assembly. It
converts temperature of air after it passes through the evaporator into a resistance value which is then input to the unified meter and A/C amp.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR INTAKE SENSOR

SYMPTOM: Intake sensor circuit is open or shorted. (24 or -24 is indicated on unified meter and A/C amp. as a result of performing self-diagnosis STEP-2.)

COMPONENT INSPECTION
Intake Sensor
After disconnecting intake sensor connector M254, measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 at sensor side. Refer to the table given.

If NG, replace intake sensor.
