Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
External Temperature Display
When the ignition is first turned ON, the external temperature displayed will be the last temperature read before the ignition was turned OFF. If the last temperature read is below 6°C (43°F), the DATC/EATC module will prevent A/C operation.
The external temperature display will update when the vehicle has been driven above 40 kph (25 mph) for greater than 30 seconds. Once the DATC/EATC module updates the external temperature, the DATC/EATC module will allow normal A/C operation.
