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

Inspection procedure
1 Inspect outer ambient temperature sensor

- Remove cooler (ambient temp. Sensor) thermistor.
- 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


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

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 ...
