- Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate temp sensor harness connector at the inside air temp sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 Ξ© of resistance between the ground circuit terminal C and the low reference circuit terminal D of the inside air temperature sensor.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit terminal D for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- Ignition ON, verify the inside air temperature sensor parameter is greater than 215Β°C (419Β°F).
- 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.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and the low reference circuit terminal D of the sensor. Verify the inside air temperature sensor parameter is less than -36Β°C (-38Β°F).
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal A for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the inside air temperature sensor.

- 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.
