Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Room Temperature Sensor Circuit (B1411/11)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System(for Automatic Air Conditioning System) / Room Temperature Sensor Circuit (B1411/11)

DESCRIPTION

The cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) is installed in the instrument panel to detect the cabin temperature which is used to control the air conditioning system AUTO mode. The resistance of the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) 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 a voltage (5 V) to the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) and reads voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor).
