Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: B2581, B2582 intake sensor

Description

Intake Sensor

• The intake sensor is located on the evaporator.
• It converts air temperature after it passes through the evaporator into a resistance value which is then input to the A/C auto amp.

Intake Sensor Circuit

DTC Logic

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

NOTE: If DTC is displayed along with DTC U1000 or U1010, first diagnose the DTC U1000 or U1010.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.CHECK WITH SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION OF CONSULT

1. Using CONSULT, perform "SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS" of HVAC.
2. Check if any DTC No. is displayed in the self-diagnosis results.

NOTE: If DTC is displayed along with DTC U1000 or U1010, first diagnose the DTC U1000 or U1010.

Diagnosis Procedure

1.CHECK INTAKE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY

1. Disconnect intake sensor connector.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
