B1032-EVAPORATOR FIN TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH





For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
If the Evaporator Temperature Sensor input is out of range toward the high voltage threshold.





Diagnostic Test

1. ACTIVE DTC(S) PRESENT
Turn the ignition on.
Using the A/C Heater Control, turn the heater on.
With the scan tool, check for DTCs.
Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

Yes

- Go to 2

No

- The condition that caused this symptom is currently not present. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also, inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

2. CHECK (C21) EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE




Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit in the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go to 3.

3. CHECK (C21) EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT, (C121) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT, AND EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR




Turn the ignition off.
Measure the resistance between the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit and the (C121) Sensor Ground circuit in the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector. The approximate circuit resistance should be as follows:
- 1468 ohms @ 40°C (104°F)
- 1800 ohms @ 35°C (95°F)
- 2221 ohms @ 30°C (86°F)
- 2757 ohms @ 25°C (77°F)
- 3443 ohms @ 20°C (68°F)
- 4330 ohms @ 15°C (59°F)
- 5485 ohms @ 10°C (50°F)
- 6998 ohms @ 5°C (41°F)
- 7354 ohms @ 4°C (39°F)
- 7731 ohms @ 3°C (37°F)
- 8130 ohms @ 2°C (36°F)
- 8553 ohms @ 1°C (34°F)
- 9000 ohms @ 0°C (32°F)

Is the resistance within the specifications?

Yes

- Replace the A/C Heater Control.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go to 4.

4. CHECK (C21) EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN




Disconnect the Evaporator Temperature Sensor harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit between the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector and the Evaporator Temperature Sensor harness connector.
Does the ohm meter read open circuit?

Yes

- Repair the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit for an open.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go to 5.

5. CHECK (C121) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN




Measure the resistance of the (C121) Sensor Ground circuit between the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector and the Evaporator Temperature Sensor harness connector.
Does the ohm meter read open circuit?

Yes

- Repair the (C121) Sensor Ground circuit for an open.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

No

- Replace the Evaporator Temperature Sensor.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.
