1 - 2

20°C (68°F)

1.71 to 2.05 kΩ

1 - 2

25°C (77°F)

1.38 to 1.64 kΩ

1 - 2

30°C (86°F)

1.11 to 1.32 kΩ

NOTICE:

  • Touching the sensor even slightly may change the resistance value. Hold the sensor connector.
  • When measuring the resistance, the temperature of the sensor and the cooler thermistor must be the same.

HINT:

As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph).

If the operation is not as specified, replace the evaporator temperature sensor.
