DTC B1411/11: Room Temperature Sensor Circuit: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Toyota Corolla. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body / Air Conditioner / Data List.
- Check the value(s) by referring to the table below.AIR CONDITIONER
Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Room Temperature Sensor
(Room Temp)Room temperature sensor / Min.: -6.5°C (20.3°F), Max.: 57.25°C (135.05°F) Actual cabin temperature displayed - OK
The display is as specified in the "Normal Condition" column.

B → See step 4
A: Go to next step
- INSPECT ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR
- Remove the room temperature sensor.
- Disconnect the connector from the room temperature sensor.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E25-1 - E25-2 10°C (50°F) 3.00 to 3.73 kΩ E25-1 - E25-2 15°C (59°F) 2.45 to 2.88 kΩ E25-1 - E25-2 20°C (68°F) 1.95 to 2.30 kΩ E25-1 - E25-2 25°C (77°F) 1.60 to 1.80 kΩ E25-1 - E25-2 30°C (86°F) 1.28 to 1.47 kΩ E25-1 - E25-2 35°C (95°F) 1.00 to 1.22 kΩ E25-1 - E25-2 40°C (104°F) 0.80 to 1.00 kΩ E25-1 - E25-2 45°C (113°F) 0.65 to 0.85 kΩ E25-1 - E25-2 50°C (122°F) 0.50 to 0.70 kΩ E25-1 - E25-2 55°C (131°F) 0.44 to 0.60 kΩ E25-1 - E25-2 60°C (140°F) 0.36 to 0.50 kΩ NOTE:- Hold the sensor only by its connector. Touching the sensor may change the resistance value.
- When measuring, the sensor temperature must be the same as the ambient temperature.
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (see the graph. See Fig 1.).

OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER)
- Disconnect the connector from the A/C amplifier.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E30-29 (TR) - E25-1 Always Below 1 Ω E30-34 (SG-1) - E25-2 Always Below 1 Ω E30-29 (TR) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher E30-34 (SG-1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 5
- PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
- REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER. Refer to REMOVAL
- REPLACE ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR. Refer to REMOVAL
