1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then ON (II).
3. Do the self-diagnostic with the HDS or climate control unit.
4. Check for DTCs.

Is the outside air temperature sensor OK?

YES - Go to step 7.

NO - Replace the outside air temperature sensor.

7. Disconnect the climate control unit connector A (24P).




8. Check for continuity between the climate control unit connector A (24P) terminal No. 14 and the outside air temperature sensor 2P connector terminal No. 1.

Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 9.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the climate control unit and the outside air temperature sensor.




9. Check for continuity between the climate control unit connector A (24P) terminal No. 18 and the outside air temperature sensor 2P connector terminal No. 2.

Is there continuity?

YES - Check for loose wires or poor connections at the climate control unit connector A (24P) and at the outside air temperature sensor 2P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good climate control unit, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original climate control unit.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the climate control unit and the outside air temperature sensor.
