Diagnostic Procedure

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 VERIFY BCM DTCs  Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to Step 9.
2 INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CONNECTOR AND TERMINALS 
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  • Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor connector.
  • Inspect the connector and terminals (corrosion, damage, pin disconnection).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector or terminals, then go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
3 INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR  Yes Replace the ambient temperature sensor, then go to Step 8.
(See AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER] .)
No Go to the next step.
4 INSPECT BCM CONNECTOR AND TERMINALS 
  • Disconnect the BCM connector.
  • Inspect the connector and terminals (corrosion, damage, pin disconnection).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector or terminals, then go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
5 INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND 
  • Verify that the ambient temperature sensor and BCM connectors are disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
    • Ambient temperature sensor terminal A
    • Ambient temperature sensor terminal B
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground, then go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
6 INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY 
  • Verify that the ambient temperature sensor and BCM connectors are disconnected.
  • Reconnect the negative battery cable.
  • Switch the ignition to ON.
  • Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Ambient temperature sensor terminal A
    • Ambient temperature sensor terminal B
  • Is there any voltage?
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to power supply, then go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
7 INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Verify that the ambient temperature sensor and BCM connectors are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Ambient temperature sensor terminal A-BCM terminal 1X
    • Ambient temperature sensor terminal B-BCM terminal 1H
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit, then go to the next step.
8 VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED 
  • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  • Reconnect the negative battery cable.
  • Clear the DTC using the M-MDS.

    (See CLEARING DTC [BCM] .)

  • Perform the BCM DTC inspection using the M-MDS.

    (See DTC INSPECTION [BCM] .)

  • Is the same DTC present?
Yes Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
Go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
9 VERIFY THAT NO OTHER DTCs ARE PRESENT 
  • Are any DTCs present?
Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [BCM] .)
No DTC troubleshooting completed.
