Kia Carnival (2007 year). Manual — part 170

Evaporator Temperature

Sensor

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >

COMPONENT LOCATION

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >

DESCRIPTION

The evaporator temperature sensor will detect the evaporator core temperature and interrupt compressor relay power
in order to prevent evaporator freezing by excessive cooling.

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >

INSPECTION

1. Ignition "OFF"

2. Disconnect evaporator temperature sensor.

3. Using the multi-tester, Measure resistance between terminal "1" and "2" of evaporator temperature sensor.
