Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Under normal operation, the evaporator discharge air temperature sensor receives a ground from the HVAC module through circuit RH111 (GY/BU). A 5-volt reference voltage is supplied to the evaporator discharge air temperature sensor from the HVAC module through circuit VH406 (VT/BN).
- DTC B1B71:11 (Evaporator Temperature Sensor: Circuit Short to Ground) - The module senses excessive voltage drop on the sensor reference voltage circuit, indicating a short directly to ground.
- DTC B1B71:15 (Evaporator Temperature Sensor: Circuit Short to Battery or Open) - The module senses no voltage drop on the sensor reference voltage circuit, indicating a short directly to voltage or an open circuit.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Evaporator discharge air temperature sensor
- HVAC module
