DTC B1225 or DTC indicator A and AUTO: An Open in the In-Car Temperature Sensor Circuit

  1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then to ON (II).
  3. Do the Self-Diagnostic Function with the HDS (see HOW TO USE THE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION WITH THE HDS  ) or the climate control unit (see HOW TO USE THE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION WITHOUT THE HDS  ).
  4. Check for DTCs.

    Is DTC B1225 or A and AUTO indicated? 

    YES  -Go to step  5.

    NO  -Intermittent failure. Check for loose wires or poor connections on the in-car temperature sensor circuit.

  5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  6. Remove the humidity/in-car temperature sensor (see HUMIDITY/IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT  ), and test it (see HUMIDITY/IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR TEST  ).

    Is the in-car temperature sensor OK? 

    YES  -With the humidity/in-car temperature sensor disconnected, go to step  7.

    NO  -Replace the humidity/in-car temperature sensor (see HUMIDITY/IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT  ).

  7. Disconnect the climate control unit 36P connector.
  8. Check for continuity between climate control unit 36P connector terminal No. 34 and humidity/in-car temperature sensor 4P connector terminal No. 4.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Go to step  9.

    NO  -Repair an open in the wire between the climate control unit and the in-car temperature sensor.

  9. Check for continuity between climate control unit 36P connector terminal No. 12 and humidity/in-car temperature sensor 4P connector terminal No. 3.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Check for loose wires or poor connections at the climate control unit 36P connector and at the humidity/in-car temperature sensor 4P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good climate control unit, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original climate control unit (see CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  ).

    NO  -Repair an open in the wire between the climate control unit and the in-car temperature sensor.
