DESCRIPTION
The room temperature sensor (cooler thermistor) is installed in the instrument panel to detect the cabin temperature which is used to control heater and air conditioning system AUTO mode. The resistance of the room temperature sensor (cooler thermistor) changes in accordance with the cabin temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies a voltage (5 V) to the room temperature sensor (cooler thermistor) and reads voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the room temperature sensor (cooler thermistor).

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This DTC is stored if the amount of refrigerant in the air conditioning system is insufficient.
The air conditioning amplifier assembly receives the ambient temperature signal, refrigerant pressure signal etc. from various sensors.
Based on these signals, the air conditioning amplifier assembly detects the amount of refrigerant.
The A/C switch indicator is turned off and air conditioning system is stopped if the amount of refrigerant is insufficient.

This DTC is stored if there is insulation trouble with the high-voltage circuit in the air conditioning system. Possible causes are poor insulation in the compressor with motor assembly, or mixing of any oil other than ND-OIL 11 in the refrigerant cycle.
A high-voltage motor is built into the electrical compressor and is cooled directly with refrigerant. Compressor oil (ND-OIL 11) with high insulation performance is used because a leakage of electrical power may occur if regular compressor oil (ND-OIL 8) is used.
| WARNING | Wear insulated gloves and pull out the service plug grip before inspection as procedures may require disconnecting high-voltage connectors. Carry the removed service plug in your pocket to prevent other technicians from accidentally reconnecting it while you are servicing the vehicle. Do not touch the high-voltage connectors or terminals for 10 minutes after the service plug grip is removed. |
