| Inspection |
| 1. |
Check the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor between terminals
1 and 2 whether it changes by changing the ambient temperature.

| Diagnosis With GDS |
| 1. |
The heating, ventilation and air conditioning can be quickly diagnosed
failed parts with vehicle diagnostic system (GDS).
※ The diagnostic system (GDS) provides the following information.
(1) Self diagnosis : Checking the failure code (DTC) and display.
(2) Current data : Checking the system input/output data state.
(3) Actuation test : Checking the system operation condition.
(4) Additional function : Other controlling such as he system option
and zero point adjustment.
|
| 2. |
Select the 'Car model' and the system to be checked in order to check
the vehicle with the tester.
|
| 3. |
Select the 'Current data' menu to search the current state of the input
/ output data.
The input / output data for the sensors corresponding to the Ambient
Temperature Sensor can be checked.
|
| Replacement |
| 1. |
Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
|
| 2. |
Remove the front bumper cover.
(Refer to Body - "Front Bumper Cover")
|
| 3. |
Separate the connector (A) and remove the ambient temperature sensor.
|
| 4. |
To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Description The ambient temperature sensor is located at the front of the condenser and detects ambient air temperature. It is a negative type thermistor; resistance will increase with lower temperature, and decrease with higher temperature.
Troubleshooting Problem Symptoms Table Before replacing or repairing air conditioning components, first determine if the malfunction is due to the refrigerant charge, air flow or compressor. Use the table below to help you find the cause of the problem.
