DESCRIPTION
The room temperature sensor is installed in the instrument panel. It detects the cabin temperature to control the air conditioning AUTO mode. The resistance of the room temperature sensor changes in accordance with the cabin temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The A/C amplifier applies voltage (5 V) to the room temperature sensor and reads voltage changes as the resistance of the room temperature sensor changes. This sensor also sends appropriate signals to the A/C amplifier.

DESCRIPTION
P1603
After starting the engine, this DTC is stored when the engine stops without the
ignition switch being operated.
Using the Techstream, the conditions present when the DTC was stored can be confirmed
by referring to the freeze frame data ...
