Kia Soul EV (PS EV) 2015-2020 Service Manual / Heating,Ventilation, Air Conditioning / Air Conditioning System / Evaporator Temperature Sensor Repair procedures

Inspection

1.	Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2.	Disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor connector.

3.	Measure the resistance between terminals "1" and "2" of the evaporator temperature sensor.

4.	Connect the evaporator temperature sensor connector.

Run the engine and turn the A/C switch ON, then measure the voltage between the terminals of the harness connector.
