Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Testing and Inspection

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

INSPECTION
1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Disconnect ambient temperature sensor.










3. Check the resistance of ambient temperature sensor between terminals 1 and 2 whether it is changed by changing of the ambient temperature.
4. If the measured resistance is not specification, substitute with a known-good ambient temperature sensor and check for proper operation.
5. If the problem is corrected, replace the ambient temperature sensor.
