IMPORTANT: If any of the air temperature sensors or sunload sensors have an out of range condition caused by a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will set. The following tests describe conditions that can cause inaccurate information to be processed in the HVAC control module and also operate between the minimum and maximum operating range without setting a DTC.
