Description
The ambient temperature sensor is installed in the front part of the condenser to detect the ambient temperature and control the air conditioner. The sensor is connected to the combination meter and detects fluctuations in the ambient temperature. This data is used for controlling the room temperature.
The sensor sends a signal to the air conditioning amplifier via the combination meter. The resistance of the ambient temperature sensor changes in accordance with the ambient temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The air conditioning amplifier applies a voltage (5 v) to the ambient temperature sensor and reads voltage changes as changes in the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor. The combination meter sends the read signal to the air conditioning amplifier via can communication.

Inspection
Inspect generator brush holder assembly
Using a vernier caliper, measure the brush length.
Standard length:
9.5 To 11.5 Mm (0.374 To 0.453 In.)
Minimum length:
4.5 Mm (0.177 In.)
If the brush length is less than the minimum, replace
the generator brush holder assembly.

Sleep operation failure of occupant classification ecu
Description
During sleep mode, the occupant classification ecu reads the condition of
each sensor while the ignition
switch is off.
In this mode, if the occupant classification ecu detects an internal
malfunction, dtc b1796 is output.
Inspection procedure
Check for dtc
