Circuit/System Testing
NOTE:
Circuit/System Verification must be performed before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B9 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and the low reference circuit terminal B. Verify the scan tool Ambient Air Temperature Sensor parameter displays 0%.
- If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
- Verify the accuracy of the B9 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor. Refer to Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Resistance .
- If not within the specified range, replace the B9 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor.
- If all circuits test normal, test the P16 Instrument Cluster.
