DIAGNOSIS/TROUBLESHOOTING - FAULT CODE 9120

Work instruction Display OK If not OK
1 Visual inspection
  • Check outside temperature sensor for external damage
  • Check plug connection for contact and corrosion
Step 2 Replace outside temperature sensor in the case of damage or repair plug connection
-> End
2 Check output voltage of the instrument cluster
  • Switch off ignition
  • Unplug connector from the outside temperature sensor
  • Switch on ignition
  • Measure voltage between pin 1 and pin 2 of the plug of the outside temperature sensor
approx. 3.4 V
Step 6
Step 3
3 Check wire between instrument cluster and outside temperature sensor for short to ground
  • Switch off ignition
  • Disconnect plug B from the instrument cluster
  • Measure resistance between plug B on instrument cluster pin 1 and ground
Step 4 Repair wiring harness
-> End
4 Check wires between instrument cluster and outside temperature sensor for short to B+
  • Switch on ignition
  • Measure resistance between plug B on instrument cluster pin 1 and ground
  • Measure voltage between plug B on instrument cluster pin 17 and ground
0 V
Step 5
Repair wiring harness
-> End
5 Check wires between instrument cluster and outside temperature sensor for open circuit
  • Switch off ignition
  • Measure resistance between plug B on the instrument cluster pin 1 and plug on outside temperature sensor via pin 1
  • Measure resistance between plug B on the instrument cluster pin 17 and plug on outside temperature sensor via pin
< 5 Step 7 Repair wiring harness.
