DTC 1:  An Open in the In-car Temperature Sensor Circuit


1.Remove the in-car temperature sensor.

2.Measure the resistance between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals of the  in-car temperature sensor.
*Check for a change in resistance by heating or cooling the sensor with a hair drier.

 

*Is the resistance within the specifications shown on the graph?


YES - Go to 3.


NO - Replace the  in-car temperature sensor.n


3.Disconnect climate control unit connectors A (12P) and B (16P).

4.Check for continuity between the No. 11 terminal of climate control unit connector A (12P) and the No. 2 terminal of the in-car temperature sensor 2P connector.

 

Is there continuity?


YES - Go to 5.


NO - Repair open in the wire between the  climate control unit and the  in-car temperature sensor.n


5.Check for continuity between the No. 5 terminal of climate control unit connector B (16P) and the No. 1 terminal of the in-car temperature sensor 2P connector.

 

Is there continuity?


YES - Check for loose wires or poor connections at climate control unit connectors A (12P) and B (16P) and at the in-car temperature sensor 2P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good  climate control unit, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original  climate control unit.n


NO - Repair open in the wire between the  climate control unit and the  in-car temperature sensor.n
