Diag. Code 12
Ambient Temperature Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the ambient temperature and sends the appropriate signals to the A/C control
assembly.
Code No.
Diag. Code Detecting Condition
Trouble area
12
Open or short in ambient temperature sensor
circuit.
Ambient temperature sensor.
Harness or connector between ambient
temperature sensor and A/C control assem-
bly.
A/C control assembly.
DIAGNOSTIC CHART
Check voltage between terminals TAM and
SG of air conditioner control assembly con-
nector.
Check ambient temperature sensor.
Check harness and connector between air
conditioner control assembly and ambient
temperature sensor. (See page
).
Check and replace air conditioner control
assembly.
Proceed to next circuit inspection
shown on matrix chart (See
page
). However, when Diag.
code 12 is displayed, check and re-
place air conditioner control assembly.
Replace ambient temperature
sensor.
Repair or replace harness or
connector.

Troubleshooting
Check voltage between terminals TAM and SG of air conditioner
control assembly connector.
(1)
Remove console upper panel. (See page
(2)
Remove A/C control assembly with
connectors still connected.
(3)
Turn ignition switch ON.
Check voltage between terminals TAM and SG of air
conditioner control assembly connector at each tem-
perature.

In addition, as the temperature increases, the
voltage decreases gradually.
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on
matrix chart (See page AC-36).However,
when Diag. code 11 is displayed, check and
replace air conditioner control assembly.
Check ambient temperature sensor.
(1)
Remove under cover
(2)
disconnect ambient temperature sensor
connector.
Check resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of
ambient temperature sensor connector at each
temperature.

In addition, as the temperature increases, the
voltage decreases gradually.
Replace ambient temperature sensor.
Check for open and short in harness and connector between air conditioner
control assembly and ambient temperature sensor (See page
).
Repair or replace harness or connector.
Check and repair air conditioner control
assembly.

and SG of air conditioner control as-
sembly
Check evaporator temperature sensor.
Check harness and connector between air
conditioner control assembly and evapora-
tor temperature sensor (See page
Check and replace air conditioner control
assembly.
10
Proceed to next circuit inspection
shown on matrix chart (See page
). However, when Diag. code
13 is displayed, check and replace
air conditioner control assembly.
Replace evaporator temperature
sensor.
Repair or replace harness or
connector.
