Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual: Rear Room Temperature Sensor Circuit (B1419/19)

Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual / Vehicle Interior / Heating / Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System / Rear Room Temperature Sensor Circuit (B1419/19)

DESCRIPTION

The cooler (No. 2 room temp. sensor) thermistor is installed in the rear panel to detect the rear cabin temperature, which is used to control the air conditioning system. The resistance of the cooler (No. 2 room temp. sensor) thermistor changes in accordance with the rear cabin temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.

The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies voltage (5 V) to the cooler (No. 2 room temp. sensor) thermistor and reads voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the cooler (No. 2 room temp. sensor) thermistor.
