DTC B1227 or DTC indicator C and AUTO: An Open in the Outside Air Temperature Sensor Circuit
- Clear the DTC with the HDS.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then to ON (II).
- 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 ).
- Check for DTCs.
Is DTC B1227 or C and AUTO indicated?
YES -Go to step 5.
NO -Intermittent failure. Check for loose wires or poor connections on the outside air temperature sensor circuit.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Remove the outside air temperature sensor (see OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT
), and test it (see OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR TEST
).
Is the outside air temperature sensor OK?
YES -With the outside air temperature sensor disconnected, go to step 7.
NO -Replace the outside air temperature sensor (see OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).
- Disconnect the climate control unit 36P connector.
- Check for continuity between climate control unit 36P connector terminal No. 15 and outside air temperature sensor 2P connector terminal No. 2.Fig 1: Checking Continuity Between Climate Control Unit 36P Connector Terminal No. 15 And Outside Air Temperature Sensor 2P Connector Terminal No. 2

Is there continuity?
YES -Go to step 9.
NO -Repair an open in the wire between the climate control unit and the outside air temperature sensor.
- Check for continuity between climate control unit 36P connector terminal No. 12 and outside air temperature sensor 2P connector terminal No. 1.Fig 2: Checking Continuity Between Climate Control Unit 36P Connector Terminal No. 12 And Outside Air Temperature Sensor 2P Connector Terminal No. 1

Is there continuity?
YES -Check for loose wires or poor connections at the climate control unit 36P connector and at the outside air temperature sensor 2P 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 outside air temperature sensor.
