DTC P1436: A/C Evaporator Temperature (A/CET) Circuit Low Input

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
P1436 - A/C EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE (A/CET) CIRCUIT LOW INPUT

Description:  Indicates the A/CET signal input was less than the self-test minimum. The self-test minimum is 0.13 volts.
Possible Causes: 
  • A/CET circuit short to ground or SIG RTN
  • Damaged A/CET sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  The powertrain control module (PCM) sources a low current 5 volt reference on the A/CET circuit (this voltage can be measured with the sensor disconnected). As the A/C evaporator air temperature changes, the A/CET circuit resistance to SIG RTN (ground) changes (which changes the voltage the PCM detects). When the A/CET signal is detected below the self-test minimum, check for shorts to SIG RTN or ground which would pull the voltage low.
