  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor harness connector at the evaporator temperature sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 Ξ© of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground of the evaporator temperature sensor.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit terminal for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the evaporator air temperature sensor parameter is greater than 4.55 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 HVAC control module.
  4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and the low reference circuit terminal B of the sensor. Verify the evaporator air temperature sensor voltage parameter is less than 0.433 volts.
    • 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 HVAC control module.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the evaporator temperature sensor.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
