00121 CHECK AMBIENT AIR SENSOR
• ACTIVATION: Ambient Air Temperature Sensor (AAT) is not within range of -53 to +158°F (-47° to +70° C).
• UNIT CONTROL: A value of 122°F (50°C) will be used for any calculations.
• RESET CONDITION: Auto reset when sensor is in range or alarm may be manually reset using the dis-
play mounted keys or by turning the unit off, then back on again.
NOTE: Follow the steps below until a problem is found. Once a repair or correction has been made, the active
alarm should clear itself (refer to reset condition above). Operate the unit through the appropriate modes to see
if any active alarm occurs. Continue with the steps below as necessary.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
1. Check Sensor
a. Inspect sensor & connector. No damage to sensor. No damage, moisture, or corrosion in connector.
b. Check sensor resistance. (Refer to Note 3 in Notes Section.) 10,000 Ohms @ 77°F (25°C). Refer
to Table 8–3 for chart of resistances for different sensors.
2. Check Sensor Wiring
a. Inspect connector pins & terminals at sensor and connector 2MM. (See wiring schematic Section
10.3 .) Verify there is no physical damage to harness, and no damage, moisture, or corrosion in
connectors.
b. Place the system in PC Mode. Refer to Note 2 in Notes Section. Disconnect sensor from harness.
Check for 3.0 ± 0.1 VDC at harness plug between pins. Voltage should be 3.0 ± 0.1 VDC volts at
harness plug between pins. This verifies microprocessor.
00122 CHECK RETURN AIR SENSOR
• ACTIVATION: Return Air Temperature Sensor (RAT) is not within the range of -53 to +158°F (-47 to +70° C).
• UNIT CONTROL:
• If alarm 00123 CHECK SUPPLY AIR SENSOR is not active: Alarm and switch to supply air control.
• If alarm 00123 CHECK SUPPLY AIR SENSOR is active: Alarm and the System will enter Cargo Pro-
tect Mode. Refer to Section 4.9.2 .
• RESET CONDITION: Auto reset when sensor is in range or, alarm may be manually reset using the dis-
play mounted keys or by turning the unit off, then back on again.
NOTE: Follow the steps below until a problem is found. Once a repair or correction has been made, the active
alarm should clear itself (refer to reset condition above). Operate the unit through the appropriate modes to see
if any active alarm occurs. Continue with the steps below as necessary.
