Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR DTC 32-EVAPORATOR SENSOR SHORTED WITH EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Evaporator Temperature Sensor harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Actuate the Clear DTC function by performing the following:
      • Turn the blower control on.
      • Press the A/C mode switch down, turn the blower control to off, wait until both LEDs illuminate (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the A/C mode switch.
      • When the A/C status indicator begins displaying DTCs, set the Mode switch to the floor position, simultaneously press the A/C mode switch and the EBL mode switch down until both LEDs start flashing (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the mode switches. Stored DTCs will clear from memory in approximately two seconds.
    5. Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and turn the ignition on.
    6. Actuate the Display DTC function by performing the following:
      • Turn the blower control on.
      • Press the A/C mode switch down, turn the blower control to off, wait until both LEDs illuminate (approximately 5 seconds) and then release the A/C mode switch.
      NOTE: The A/C status indicator displays active DTCs when the EBL status indictor is not illuminated and stored DTCs when the EBL status indicator is illuminated.
    7. Read DTCs from the A/C status indictor.

      Does the A/C status indicator display DTC 32?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK (C21) EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit between ground and the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 10k ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. CHECK (C21) EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO (C121) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

    1. 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.

      Is the resistance below 10k ohms?

      Yes 

      No
