DTC B1225 or DTC indicator A and AUTO: An Open in the In-car Temperature Sensor Circuit

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) and then to ON (II).
  3. Do the self-diagnostic function with the HDS (see HOW TO USE THE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION WITH THE HDS  ) or the climate control unit (see HOW TO USE THE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION WITHOUT THE HDS  ).
  4. Check for DTCs.

    Is DTC B1225 or A and AUTO indicated? 

    YES  -Go to step 5.

    NO  -Intermittent failure, check for loose wires or poor connections in the in-car temperature sensor circuit.

  5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  6. Remove the humidity/in-car temperature sensor (see HUMIDITY/IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT  ), and test it (see HUMIDITY SENSOR TEST  ).

    Is the in-car temperature sensor OK? 

    YES  -Go to step 7.

    NO  -Replace the humidity/in-car temperature sensor.

  7. Disconnect the climate control unit 36P connector.
  8. Check for continuity between climate control unit 36P connector terminal No. 20 and humidity/in-car temperature sensor 4P connector terminal No. 1.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Go to step 9.

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

  9. Check for continuity between climate control unit 36P connector terminal No. 1 and humidity/in-car temperature sensor 4P connector terminal No. 2.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Check for loose wires or poor connections at the climate control unit 36P connector and at the humidity/in-car temperature sensor 4P 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.

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