What is an Evaporator Temp Sensor? and about the Japanese inspection
What is an Evaporator Temp Sensor? and about the Japanese Inspection...
I have the part # as 2108300572 What is it? My dealer recommended replacing it ... ___________ Anyway it is time for the dreaded 2 year Japanese SHAKEN where many of the dealers and independents take the opportunity to screw their customers. How much do you ask? FIRST - gotta pay - 90,000YEN in more or less tax. SECOND - gotta pay - 50,000YEN to the dealer to do the inspection. This fee is a little high, but OK. THIRD - Repairs - the Goldmine ... We started with an estimate for 190,000YEN and are now at 30,000YEN - (brakes and fluid). Obviously some of their customers just say OK and pay the 190,000YEN. So obviously I do not trust the service advisor.... I just really do not know what the Evaporator Temp Sensor does, so I wonder whether it should be replaced or not. I love the scene in the movie FARGO when the salesman is selling the Clearcoat! These guys are just like that! Thanks Gary |

The evaporator temp sensor "feels" the temperature of the A/C evaporator, & can cause the Pushbutton control to cycle the A/C compressor so that the evap doesn't freeze up.
Common failure here in the SOUTH.

Thanks MBDOC
Should I just wait until it breaks or will it cause other problems if it does? Gary |
