DTC P1437: - A/C Evaporator Air Temperature Circuit High

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2009 Mercury Mountaineer, 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Mercury Mariner, 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2009 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC P1437: - A/C EVAPORATOR AIR TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT HIGH

Description:  Indicates the air conditioning evaporator temperature (ACET) signal input was greater than the self-test maximum. The self-test maximum is 4.5 volts.
Possible Causes: 
  • ACET circuit open
  • SIGRTN circuit open to ACET sensor
  • ACET circuit short to voltage (VREF)
  • Damaged ACET sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  The powertrain control module (PCM) sources a low current 5 volt reference on the ACET circuit (this voltage can be measured with the sensor disconnected). As the A/C evaporator air temperature changes, the ACET circuit resistance to SIG RTN (ground) changes (which changes the voltage the PCM detects). When the ACET signal is detected above the self-test maximum, check for open circuits (ACET or SIG RTN), which would cause the voltage to remain high. Although not as probable, also check for a short to voltage (VREF).
