3.1.3 Enhanced Screening Questions (What to do?)
Step 1. Check location of T3 sensor.
- Sensor should be located on the outdoor coil, below and to the left of the control board on a "U" bend. If it is not there, have the caller locate the sensor connection on the board and follow the wires to the sensor so they can relocate it.
- If the sensor is in the right place, go to step 2.
Step 2. Check the T4, T3 and/or T3L temperature sensor.
- Measure sensor resistance T3, T3L, T4, T5 and TF (T3L only for IDP and 15, 20 SEER IDS models).
- 18 SEER will only have T3 sensor.
- 15, 20 SEER and IDP Packaged units will have T3 and T3L, so test both.
T3/T4/T3L sensors are 10k sensors. Example: 77 degrees sensor should read 10,000 OHMS Use the chart below to compare the ohm reading with the temperature reading.
- Make note of the resistance and temperature readings in ISM.
- If the sensor ohm reading doesn't match the temperature reading, replace the sensor.
Step 3. If everything tests OK, transfer the caller to tier 2.
