Where is this sensor? R32 GTR

[KBNR32]

I am looking for the Refrigerant temp sensor.... for my a/c, The climate control says it is faulty... can anyone direct me to where it is on My R32 GTR.. Plz give an accurate description as i am only a dumb ass with a fast GTR!

Cheers

Maybe it could be located on the Reciever-Dryer where the air co condensor is, can anyone also confirm thiS??

You have a sensor thats usually located in the air ducts so the a/c doesn't freeze itself. Their is also a pressure switch out front near the radiator (looks like a cylinder with two wires going to it) But I havent pulled my line apart yet to find out. This is where a service manual would come in handy.

the sensor is displaying on the climate control (self diagnostic) that it is 5 degrees.. thus when i turn a/c on.... it turns itself off... cause it thinks it is 5 degrees.. obviously 2 cold for the a/c....

Sumo u mentioned it could be in the air ducts..... could this be possible?

Anyone else know the exact location of this sensor?

there is a sensor on the top of your dash for your climate control on the passenger side that could be where the problem is cause that is the sensor that tells the car how hot it is outside

[KBNR32]

yeah but that is the in car temp sensor so i believe.... not the refrigerant temp sensor.... anyone else have any idea?

When you ran the diagnostic, did it show -27 or 27?

There's very little information in the service manual. It's page HA 14, but I can't work out exactly where that sensor is in the pic.

wados: it wouldn't be the sun sensor, that just gives a bit of an "adjuster" to the basic climate algorithm, based on the outside light levels

Refrigerant sensor will be down under the whole dash near the aircon box. There are a few sensors down there in the ductwork from what I remember (and if its similar setup to an R33). You will have to remove it to get to it (few hour job). Replacing the sensor itself should be an easy job, just unplug old, and in with new. Its just getting to it.

ahhh..here we go.. I think this looks like it.. Its going into the aircon box there so I assume that is what its doing!

Now that I think about it, it could also be that temp resistor that goes from the climate control to just behind your front dash. I know on the 33 at least, its attached to a small hose, that goes to a very small vent just near the steering wheel and below left of the speedo, etc. Not sure about the R32 though, I assume it would have a similar setup.
