CHECKING TEMPERATURE SENSOR
OUTSIDE UNIT CIRCUIT
1. Disconnect temperature sensor from board and
from outdoor coil.
2. Use an ohmmeter and measure the resistance of
the sensor. Also use ohmmeter to check for short
or open.
3. Check resistance reading to chart of resistance.
Use sensor ambient temperature. (Tolerance of
part is ± 10%.)
4. If sensor resistance reads very low, then sensor is
shorted and will not allow proper operation of the
heat pump control.
5. If sensor is out of tolerance, shorted, open or reads
very low ohms then it should be replaced.
