Toyota Corolla (E120): The ambient temperature does not display

Wiring diagram

Inspection procedure

Inspection procedure

1 Inspect outer ambient temperature sensor

  1. Remove cooler (ambient temp. Sensor) thermistor.
  2.  measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of cooler (ambient temp. Sensor) thermistor connector at each temperature.

    Resistance:
    at 0 c (0 f) : 9.097 – 9.701 KΩ at 25 c (77 f) : 2.725 – 2.865 KΩ

Hint

: as the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

Resistance:

2 Check harness and connector

2 Check harness and connector

Check and replace combination meter assy

    Inspection procedure
    Hint: read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the obd ii scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the ...

    Diagnosis system
    Description  when troubleshooting obd ii vehicles, the only difference from the usual troubleshooting procedure is that you need to connect an obd ii scan tool complying with sae j1987 or a hand–held tester to the vehicle, and read off various data output from the vehicle†...

    Circuit description
    A thermistor is built in the engine coolant temperature sensor and changes the resistance value according to the engine coolant temperature. The structure of the sensor and connection to the ecm is the same as those of the intake air temperature sensor. Hint: if the ecm detects the dtc ...
