Conditions for Setting the DTC
This DTC will set if the output of the ambient air temperature sensor indicates a probable short circuit or an open in the sensor or the associated wiring harness, or a malfunction of the automatic temperature control (ATC) controller.

| 1 |
- Disconnect the ambient air sensor connector from the front bumper harness.
- Measure the resistance between the ambient air sensor connector terminals.
Is the resistance measured equal to the specified range at 20°-25°C (68°-77°F)? |
2600-2100 Ω |
Go to Step 5 |
Go to Step 2 |
| 2 |
- Remove the ambient air sensor from behind the front bumper.
- Inspect the wiring for any open or short and examine the connector for any damage.
Is there a problem with the wiring or the connector? |
- |
Go to Step 3 |
Go to Step 4 |

Repair the problem found in the ambient air sensor wiring or the connector. Did you complete the repair? |
- |
System OK |
- |
| 4 |
Replace the ambient air sensor Did you complete the replacement? |
- |
System OK |

| 5 |
- Turn the ignition to ON.
- Measure the voltage between the 2 terminals in the ambient air sensor connector on the front bumper harness.
Is the voltage measured greater than or equal to the specified value? |
4 V |
Go to Step 7 |
Go to Step 6 |
| 6 |
- Connect the in-car sensor to the controller.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Observe the temperature display area.
Does this display indicate the continuing presence of a DTC 2 condition? |
- |
Go to Step 8 |
System OK |
| 7 |
- Pull the automatic temperature control (ATC) controller from the instrument panel, leaving the wiring harness connected.
- Measure the voltage between terminals A13 and B8 by backprobing the connectors.
Is the voltage measured less than or equal to the specified value? |
4 V |
Go to Step 8 |
Go to Step 9 |
| 8 |
Replace the ATC Controller. Did you complete the replacement? |
- |
System OK |
- |
| 9 |
- Test the wiring for the ambient air sensor from the ATC controller, through connectors C209, C208, C202 and C303 to the ambient air sensor connector on the front bumper harness.
- Repair any open or high resistance condition in the wiring or a connector terminal.
Did you find and correct the condition? |
- |
System OK |
