C3 Check Evaporator Outlet Temperature Sensor
refrigeration
Description
Compartment 3 Evaporator Outlet Temperature Sensor is out of range; the unit gives an alarm only and calculates EVXV superheat using SAT or DTT if Alarm 00123 is active.
Activation Conditions
Evaporator Outlet Temperature Sensor (EVOT) in compartment 3 is not within the range of - 53 to +158°F (-47 to +70°C)
Unit Behavior
Engine and Electric: Alarm only and superheat for EVXV will be calculated using SAT or DTT if alarm 00123 (Check Supply Air Sensor) is active.
Reset Conditions
Auto reset when Evaporator Temp Sensor is in range or, alarm may be manually reset using the display mounted keys or by turning the unit off, then back on again
Corrective Actions
1. Check Sensor a. Inspect sensor and connector. Verify no damage to sensor. Verify no damage, moisture, or corrosion in connector. b. Check Evaporator Temp Sensor resistance. (See Note 3 in Notes Section.) 10,000 Ohms @ 77°F (25°C.) See Table 8–3 for complete table of temperatures and resistance values. 2. Check Sensor Wiring a. Inspect connector pins and terminals at sensor connector. No physical damage to harness. 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 output and wiring connections to sensor. 3. Check Airflow through Evaporator Coil/Section a. Inspect coil Ninety percent or more of the coil surface must be undamaged. Coil must be clean. b. Check coil airflow (with unit running). Verify even airflow through the entire coil, with no “dead” spots. c. Check return air bulkhead, air chute. Verify good air flow, with Return air not restricted. Check that the Air chute in good condition.
