Lexus NX: Glass Humidity Sensor Circuit (B14AA)
DESCRIPTION
The air conditioning thermistor assembly (glass humidity sensor) detects cabin humidity. The voltage of the air conditioning thermistor assembly (glass humidity sensor) changes in accordance with cabin humidity. The air conditioning amplifier assembly reads the changes in output voltage of the air conditioning thermistor assembly (glass humidity sensor).
The glass humidity sensor is integrated with the air conditioning thermistor assembly.

| 4. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR CONDITIONING THERMISTOR ASSEMBLY [GLASS HUMIDITY SENSOR] - AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Disconnect the T13 air conditioning thermistor assembly (glass humidity sensor) connector.
(b) Disconnect the I50 air conditioning amplifier assembly connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| T13-3 (RH) - I50-28 (RH) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| T13-1 (SEG3) - I50-35 (SG-5) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| T13-5 (S5V) - I50-31 (S5-4) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| T13-3 (RH) or I50-28 (RH) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| T13-1 (SEG3) or I50-35 (SG-5) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| T13-5 (S5V) or I50-31 (S5-4) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| OK | | REPLACE AIR CONDITIONING AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
