Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B9 ambient air temperature sensor.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and the low reference circuit terminal B. 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 K114B hybrid powertrain control module 2.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K114B hybrid powertrain control module 2.
- 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 K114B hybrid powertrain control module 2.
- Verify the accuracy of the B9 ambient air temperature sensor. Refer to Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Resistance .
- If not within the specified range, replace the B9 ambient air temperature sensor.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B9 ambient air temperature sensor.
