INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT COOLER THERMISTOR (ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR)

(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
1 - 2	10°C (50°F)	3.00 to 3.73 kΩ
	15°C (59°F)	2.45 to 2.88 kΩ
	20°C (68°F)	1.95 to 2.30 kΩ
	25°C (77°F)	1.60 to 1.80 kΩ
	30°C (86°F)	1.28 to 1.47 kΩ
	35°C (95°F)	1.00 to 1.22 kΩ
	40°C (104°F)	0.80 to 1.00 kΩ
	45°C (113°F)	0.65 to 0.85 kΩ
	50°C (122°F)	0.50 to 0.70 kΩ
	55°C (131°F)	0.44 to 0.60 kΩ
	60°C (140°F)	0.36 to 0.50 kΩ

HINT:

As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases (refer to the graph).

NOTICE:

Touching the sensor even slightly may change the resistance value. Hold the connector of the sensor.

When measuring the resistance, make sure the sensor temperature is the same as the ambient temperature.

If the result is not as specified, replace the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor).
