In-Vehicle Sensor CircuitNJS000H1
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
In-vehicle Sensor
The in-vehicle sensor is located on instrument driver lower panel. It
converts variations in temperature of compartment air drawn from
the aspirator into a resistance value. It is then input into the unified
meter and A/C amp.
Aspirator
The aspirator is located on driver’s side of heater & cooling unit
assembly. It produces vacuum pressure due to air discharged from
the heater & cooling unit assembly, continuously taking compartment
air in the aspirator.

Intake Sensor CircuitNJS000H3
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Intake Sensor
The intake sensor is located on the heater & cooling unit assembly. It
converts temperature of air after it passes through the evaporator
into a resistance value which is then input to the unified meter and A/
C amp.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE FOR INTAKE SENSOR
SYMPTOM: Intake sensor circuit is open or shorted. (24 or 24 is
indicated on unified meter and A/C amp. as a result of performing
self-diagnosis STEP-2.)
1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND GROUND
1. Disconnect intake sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between intake sensor harness connector M82
terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 4.
2. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect unified meter and A/C amp. connector.
3. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M82
terminal 2 and unified meter and A/C amp. harness connector
M65 terminal 59.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair harness or connector.

REMOVAL
1. Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge the refrigerant.
2. Drain coolant from cooling system. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant" (VQ35DE) or CO-40,
"Changing Engine Coolant" (VK45DE).
3. Remove cowl top cover. Refer to EI-18, "
COWL TOP" .
4. Disconnect low-pressure flexible hose and high-pressure pipe 1
from evaporator.
a. Set a disconnector [high-pressure side (SST: 9253089908), low-
pressure side (SST: 9253089916)] on A/C piping.
b. Slide a disconnector toward vehicle front until it clicks.
c. Slide A/C piping toward vehicle front and disconnect it.
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such
as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
5. Remove electric throttle control actuator. Refer to EM-19,
"INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" (VQ35DE) or EM-179,
"INTAKE MANIFOLD" (VK45DE).

CAUTION:
Replace O-rings of A/C piping with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it when installing
it.
Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping
straight in axial direction.
Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection
does not come loose.
When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
NOTE:
When filling radiator with coolant, refer to CO-11, "Changing Engine Coolant" (VQ35DE) or CO-40,
"Changing Engine Coolant" (VK45DE).
Recharge the refrigerant.
