Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ambient air temperature sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Ambient Air Temp. Sensor parameter is greater than 4.7 volts.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal A for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and the low reference circuit terminal B. Verify the scan tool Ambient Air Temp. Sensor parameter is less than 0.4 volt.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the ambient air temperature sensor.
