HOT GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR
FIG. 43 HOT GAS SENSOR
Location:
The Hot Gas Sensor is located on the Condenser-
Test Procedures:
1.Remove the left side housing panel.
2.Connect a voltmeter, across the two leads of the hot gas sensor (leave plug connected);
The indication must be:
a)Approx. 4.0 vdc @ 37° F
b)Approx. 3.4 vdc @ 82° F
If voltage reading is 0v, the Control Board is not sup- plying the necessart 5v and should be replaced. If the reading stays at 5vdc, replace the hot gas sensor.
Alternate Test:
2.Disconnect the plug on the hot gas sensor leads from the connector on the main harness.
3.Connect an ohmmeter across the two leads of the hot gas sensor;
The indication must be:
a)678 ohms @ 212° F ± 10%
b)10k ohms @ 77° F ± 10%
If resistance reading is not within the range listed above, replace sensor.
Removal and Replacement (Refer to Fig. 43)
1.Remove the left side housing panel.
2.Disconnect the plug on the hot gas sensor leads from the connector on the main harness.
3.Remove the clamp securing the hot gas sensor to
4.Securing the new hot gas sensor to Condenser-
5.Refer to Fig. 44 and plug the new sensor into the connector on the main harness.
