  5. G5 CHECK CIRCUITS VH406 (VT/BN) FOR AN OPEN 
    NOTE: Instrument panel removal is required to disconnect the sensor. Before carrying out this test step, visually inspect the wiring between the HVAC module and sensor for opens. If no damage is visually evident, proceed with the test.
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Evaporator Discharge Air Temperature Sensor C2295.
    • Measure the resistance between HVAC module - EMTC C2357a-6 or HVAC module - DATC C2356a-6, circuit VH406 (VT/BN), harness side and inline (EMTC) C211-13 or (DATC) inline C213-13, circuit VH406 (VT/BN), instrument panel harness side.
