1. INSPECT A/C ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR
a. Remove the A/C room temperature sensor.

b. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table.
NOTE:
- Even slightly touching the sensor may change the resistance value. Be sure to hold the connector of the sensor.
- When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.
HINT: As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).
If the resistance value is not as specified, replace the sensor.
