DTCs (AC)

1. Problem verification

   -1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

   -2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode and then the ON mode.

   -3. Do the Self-Diagnostic Function with the HDS or the climate control unit .

   -4. Check for DTCs.

   DTC Description	DTC
   B1228 A short in the outside air temperature sensor circuit

   Is DTC B1228 or Error on the DTC screen A-A2 (climate control panel without display) or 06 (climate control panel with display) indicated?

   YES 

   Go to step 2.

   NO 

   Intermittent failure. Check for loose wires or poor connections on the outside air temperature sensor circuit.

2. Shorted wire check (TAM line)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Disconnect the following connectors.

   Climate control unit connector A (32P)

   Outside air temperature sensor 2P connector

   -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Climate control unit connector A (32P): disconnected
   	Outside air temperature sensor 2P connector: disconnected

   Test point 2	Climate control unit connector A (32P) No. 12

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short in the TAM wire to SENSOR COM wire.

   NO 

   The TAM wire and SENSOR COM wire are OK. Go to step 4.

4. Outside air temperature sensor check

   -1. Test the outside air temperature sensor .

   Is the outside air temperature sensor OK?

   YES 

   Replace the climate control unit .

   NO 

   Replace the outside air temperature sensor .
