Toyota Corolla Cross: Room Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Ground (B141A11)
DESCRIPTION
The cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) is installed in the instrument panel to detect the cabin temperature, which is used to control the air conditioning system. The resistance of the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) changes in accordance with the cabin temperature. As the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases.
The air conditioning amplifier assembly applies voltage (5 V) to the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor) and reads voltage changes due to changes in the resistance of the cooler thermistor (room temperature sensor).

Tire Pressure Monitor Transmitter ID 1 Missing Message (C214187-C214487)
DESCRIPTION
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters that are installed in the tire
and wheel assemblies measure the tire pressure of each wheel. The measured values
are transmitted to the tire pressure warning ECU and receiver in the vehicle as
radio waves. The ECU compares the measu
