    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    If equipped with in-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor, it contains a thermistor and a sensing element which separately measures the in-vehicle air temperature and the humidity, then sends those readings to the HVAC control module. The in-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor has an electric fan within the sensor that draws in-vehicle air across the two sensing elements. The HVAC control module may adjust the air inlet door based on the in-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor information to maintain the desired humidity of the passenger cabin air.

    HVAC B1A61:15 Cabin Temperature Sensor: Circuit Short To Battery Or Open This Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (CMDTC) sets when the HVAC control module senses no voltage or unexpected voltage on the circuit for the cabin temperature sensor.
    HVAC B1A69:11 Humidity Sensor: Circuit Short To Ground This Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (CMDTC) sets when the HVAC control module senses erratic voltages from the humidity sensor circuit.
    HVAC B1A69:15 Humidity Sensor: Circuit Short To Battery Or Open This Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (CMDTC) sets when the HVAC control module senses erratic voltages from the humidity sensor circuit.
    HVAC B1A69:92 Humidity Sensor: Performance Or Incorrect Operation This Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (CMDTC) sets when the HVAC control module senses the wrong humidity sensor value.

      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

    • Connect all HVAC control module electrical connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.

    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new HVAC control module. REFER to: Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Control Module .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
