DTC B3933 02



- Air Conditioning Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Ground



DTC B3933 05



- Air Conditioning Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit High Voltage/Open



Circuit/System Description



The air temperature sensors are a 2-wire negative temperature co-efficient thermistor. The vehicle uses the following air temperature sensors:



* Air temperature sensor - left upper



* Air temperature sensor - left lower



* Air temperature sensor - right upper



* Air temperature sensor - right lower



* Air temperature sensor - rear upper (only with CJ4)



* Air temperature sensor - rear lower (only with CJ4)



* A/C evaporator temperature sensor



A signal and low reference circuit enables the sensor to operate. As the air temperature surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance



decreases. The sensor signal voltage decreases as the resistance decreases. The sensor operates within a temperature range between -40 to +85掳C



(-40 to +185掳F). The sensor signal varies between 0-5 V. The HVAC control module converts the signal to a range between 0-255 counts. As the



air temperature increases the count value will decrease. If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor, then the control module



software will use a default air temperature value. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can adjust the inside air temperature near the



desired temperature until the condition is corrected.



Conditions for Running the DTC



* Ignition ON.



* The HVAC control module is ON.



Conditions for Setting the DTC



The HVAC control module detects the sensor signal out of range. The signal voltage is less than 0.1 V or greater than 4.9 V for more than 50 ms.



Action Taken When the DTC Sets



The system operates using a default value.



Conditions for Clearing the DTC



The sensor signal is within specified range between 0.1-4.9 V.
