QuestionQUESTION: The ac on my 2000 LHS works sometimes and doesnt sometimes. When I did the self diagnostic with the ATC, the code comes up 35 (evaporator temperature sensor). Could this create this problem or does it suggest something else. THanks.
ANSWER: Hi Sheridan,
That sensor controls the operation of the compressor to prevent the freezing up of the evaporator. So if it is not working properly the ac unit will not cycle on and off reliably. I would believe any such code and act upon it.

QUESTION: thanks for the input, now the other I forgot to ask. Where is it located. I have a Haynes manual and it shows the schematic, but I need help. Again, thanks.
AnswerHi Sheridan,
You can locate it by removing the glove box (open the door, remove the check strap, pivot the glove box downward to disengage hinge hooks that secure it to the dash).
You will find the probe connector (black 2-wire: dark blue/orange and dark blue/gray) to be then disconnected. Using a flat blade pry the surround grommet from the opening to release the unit, then pull out the probe itself. There are three hole for positioning the probe in the unit. If you get a new probe, insert it in the top hole, if you re-use the old one just use a different hole when you reinsert it.
