TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Ambient Sensor Circuit
EJS001HB
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor is attached on the hood lock stay. It detects
ambient temperature and converts it into a resistance value which is
then input into the auto amplifier.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The automatic amplifier includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input. However, when the temper-
ature detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing circuit retards the auto amp. function.
It only allows the auto amp. to recognize an ambient temperature increase of 0.33°C (0.6°F) per 100 seconds.
As an example, consider stopping for a cup of coffee after high speed driving. Although the actual ambient
temperature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor will increase. This is because
the heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area, location of the ambient sensor.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
SYMPTOM: Ambient sensor circuit is open or shorted. (21 or -21 is
indicated on auto amp. As a result of conducting Self-diagnosis
STEP 2.)
1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN AMBIENT SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR AND GROUND
Disconnect ambient sensor harness connector.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 4.

Ambient Sensor
After disconnecting ambient sensor harness connector, measure
resistance between terminals 2 and 1 at sensor harness side, using
the table below.
If NG, replace ambient sensor.
In-vehicle Sensor CircuitEJS001HC
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
In-vehicle sensor
The in-vehicle sensor is located on instrument lower panel. It con-
verts variations in temperature of compartment air drawn from the
aspirator into a resistance value. It is then input into the auto ampli-
fier.
Aspirator
The aspirator is located on front side of heater & cooling unit. It pro-
duces vacuum pressure due to air discharged from the heater &
cooling unit, continuously taking compartment air in the aspirator.
