DTCs (AC)

1. Problem verification

   -1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

   -2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, 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
   B1214 A short in the rear evaporator temperature sensor circuit

   Is DTC B1214 or K and AUTO indicated?

   YES 

   Go to step 2.

   NO 

   Intermittent failure. Check for loose wires or poor connections on the rear evaporator temperature sensor circuit.

2. Shorted wire check (TEVA RR line)

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

   -2. Disconnect the following connectors.

   Climate control unit connector C (12P)

   Rear evaporator temperature sensor 2P connector

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

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Climate control unit connector C (12P): disconnected
   	Rear evaporator temperature sensor 2P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	Climate control unit connector C (12P) No. 12
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short to body ground in the wire between the climate control unit and the rear evaporator temperature sensor.

   NO 

   The TEVA RR wire is not shorted. Go to step 3.

3. Shorted wire check (TEVA RR line to SENSOR (COM) line)

   -1. Disconnect the following connector.

   Climate control unit connector A (32P)

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

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Climate control unit connector A (32P): disconnected
   	Climate control unit connector C (12P): disconnected
   	Rear evaporator temperature sensor 2P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	Climate control unit connector A (32P) No. 18
   Test point 2	Climate control unit connector C (12P) No. 12

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short in the wires between the climate control unit and the rear evaporator temperature sensor.

   NO 

   The TEVA RR wire and SENSOR (COM) wire are OK. Go to step 4.

4. Rear evaporator temperature sensor check

   -1. Test the rear evaporator temperature sensor .

   Is the rear evaporator temperature sensor OK?

   YES 

   Replace the climate control unit .

   NO 

   Replace the rear evaporator temperature sensor .
