Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B9 Air Temperature Sensor - Ambient.
  2. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
  3. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2. Verify the scan tool Ambient Air Temperature parameter displays greater than 54°C (130°F).
    • If less than the specified range, test the low reference circuit a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
  4. Verify the accuracy of the B9 Air Temperature Sensor - Ambient. Refer to Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Resistance .
    • If not within the specified range, replace the B9 Air Temperature Sensor - Ambient.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test the P16 Instrument Cluster.
