1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Measure the voltage of the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit.
  Is the voltage above 0.2 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure
  No
  - Go to step 2
CHECK (C21) EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT, (C121) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT, AND EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Measure the resistance between the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit and the (C121) Sensor Ground circuit in the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector. The approximate circuit resistance should be as follows:
  - 1468 ohms @ 40°C (104°F)
  - 1800 ohms @ 35°C (95°F)
  - 2221 ohms @ 30°C (86°F)
  - 2757 ohms @ 25°C (77°F)
  - 3443 ohms @ 20°C (68°F)
  - 4330 ohms @ 15°C (59°F)
  - 5485 ohms @ 10°C (50°F)
  - 6998 ohms @ 5°C (41°F)
  - 7354 ohms @ 4°C (39°F)
  - 7731 ohms @ 3°C (37°F)
  - 8130 ohms @ 2°C (36°F)
  - 8553 ohms @ 1°C (34°F)
  - 9000 ohms @ 0°C (32°F)
  Is the resistance within the specifications?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the A/C Heater Control in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure
  No
  - Go to step 3
CHECK (C21) EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT, (C121) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT, AND EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

1. Disconnect the Evaporator Temperature Sensor harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance of the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit between the Evaporator Temperature Sensor harness connector and the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 4
  No
  - Repair the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit for an open.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure
