DTC B1411/11: Room Temperature Sensor Circuit: Procedure
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn Techstream on.
- Select the item below in the Data List, and read the display on Techstream.DATA LIST / AIR CONDITIONER:
Item Measure Item / Display (Range) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Room Temperature Sensor Room temperature sensor / min.: -6.5°C (20.3°F) max.: 57.25°C (135.05°F) Actual cabin temperature is displayed - OK
The display is as specified in the normal condition.
Result
Result Proceed to NG A OK (Checking from the PROBLEM SYMPTOM TABLE) B OK (Checking from the DTC) C
B → PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
C → REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY
A: Go to next step
- INSPECT AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER (TR - SG-1)
- Remove the A/C amplifier with connectors still connected.
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D37-16 (TR) - D37-19 (SG-1) Ignition switch on (IG) at 25°C (77°F) 1.8 to 2.2 V D37-16 (TR) - D37-19 (SG-1) Ignition switch on (IG) at 40°C (104°F) 1.2 to 1.6 V HINT:
As the temperature increases, the voltage decreases.

Result Proceed to NG A OK (Checking from the PROBLEM SYMPTOM TABLE) B OK (Checking from the DTC) C
B → PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
C → REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY
A: Go to next step
- INSPECT A/C ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR
- Remove the A/C room temperature sensor.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D34-1 - D34-2 10°C (50°F) 3.00 to 3.73 kΩ D34-1 - D34-2 15°C (59°F) 2.45 to 2.88 kΩ D34-1 - D34-2 20°C (68°F) 1.95 to 2.30 kΩ D34-1 - D34-2 25°C (77°F) 1.60 to 1.80 kΩ D34-1 - D34-2 30°C (86°F) 1.28 to 1.47 kΩ D34-1 - D34-2 35°C (95°F) 1.00 to 1.22 kΩ D34-1 - D34-2 40°C (104°F) 0.80 to 1.00 kΩ D34-1 - D34-2 45°C (113°F) 0.65 to 0.85 kΩ D34-1 - D34-2 50°C (122°F) 0.50 to 0.70 kΩ D34-1 - D34-2 55°C (131°F) 0.44 to 0.60 kΩ D34-1 - D34-2 60°C (140°F) 0.36 to 0.50 kΩ NOTE:- Only hold the sensor at its connector. Touching the sensor may change the resistance value.
- When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (See Fig.6 the graph).
NG → REPLACE A/C ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (A/C ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER)
- Disconnect the connector from A/C room temperature sensor.
- Disconnect the connector from A/C amplifier.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition D37-16 (TR) - D34-1 Always Below 1 Ω D37-19 (SG-1) - D34-2 Always Below 1 Ω D37-16 (TR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher D37-19 (SG-1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
