Evaporator Temperature Sensor Test

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2014 Honda Ridgeline, 2013 Honda Ridgeline, 2012 Honda Ridgeline, 2011 Honda Ridgeline, and 2010 Honda Ridgeline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove the evaporator temperature sensor (see EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR TEST ).
Dip the sensor in ice water, and measure the resistance between its terminals.

Pour warm water on the sensor, and check for a change in resistance.
Compare the resistance readings with the specifications shown in the graph; the resistance should be within the specifications.
