Heater/Climate Control temp

Howdy all,

My heater/climate control unit does not seem to function properly. I only get cold air at 18'c or hot air at any tempertaure above 18'c.

I tried the settings with the a/c on and it made little difference (i.e. the air-con worked but still only left me with hot or cold - so settings in between).

I also tried running the diags and everything appeared normal for most of the settings. When I put it to the sensor check, where the number "5" appears, I pressed the window de-fog button (bottom right next to the recirc button), and i got a reading of between 18'c and 21'c for the first setting (which I assume is the inside air temp - seemed about right), and I got -30'c for the second (no idea what this reads).

Anyone got any ideas? It kinda sux only having a hot or a cold setting, because the climate control does not function properly....

type thing...

There's a climate control temp sensor.... It should have an electrical plug and a suction hose connected to it... make sure bith of these are connected.....

Tool the calibration in the climate controll is out or the external temp sensor is faulty. the climate control thinks the out side temp is -30 so it wants 2 blow hot air to warm the car up. try resetting the climate control (same way as rebooting the ecu) i think that should work. if not then need a new external temp sensor.

hope this helps

I've got the same problem..... where would I find the external temp. sensor??? :confused:

I'm guessing it's somewhere at the front of the car since thats where all the damage from 'the accident' happended, and before that it was all working :D

You'll find the external temp-sensor just under the horn.

At the very front of the car (in the middle).

It's black and is about 3-4 cm's long...

Hope that helps. (I had to re-locate mine as I installed an FMIC).

Cheers

The external temp sensor on my r32 was on the frontbar just behind the number plate.

it's a black little like box, with a metal bracket on it, and a bit of wire.

mayb unplug it, clean it out, u may need to replace. Not sure how it works,

i think the sensor is an active sensor, so it might work from a voltage return.

or it might work by resistive.

I know when i diconected mine to see what would hapen it showed -30'C.

So check the wiring on the plug, move it about....

u may need a new sensor, or your wires shaged or mayb where ever it goes into is disconected or shaged.

Good luck.

Madtrang,

I had a look and was able to find the sensor.

I am little curious as to how you disconnect it. Mind you I was using a blue led light in a car park (really hard to see but better then nothing), as I couldnt find a torch.

It had a cable coming out one side with tubing around it, and the otherside had the bracket connected to it.

So if you could give me any help with disconnecting/reconnecting it that would be fantastic!

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
