HVAC Control System Sensor Resistance Values
To assist with HVAC sensor diagnosis, please refer to the table below for sensor resistances. The values indicated may vary slightly from those shown due to changes in ambient temperature
| SENSOR TEMPERATURE °C | FRONT EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR OHMS Ω | REAR EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR OHMS Ω | IN CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR OHMS Ω | AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR OHMS Ω | LOW PRESSURE TEMPERATURE SENSOR OHMS Ω |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 4851 | 4851 | 27600 | 6318 | 32014 |

Air Conditioning system pressure table (Static)
NOTE:
- The air conditioning system pressure values in the table below are expected when the vehicle is static with the air conditioning system switched off and with refrigerant in the system either partly or fully charged
- The engine compartment and passenger compartment need to be at the same temperature as the workshop otherwise this will have an effect on the system pressure
