PINPOINT TEST A: DTC B1251 OR DTC B1253 - IN-VEHICLE TEMPERATURE SENSOR OPEN CIRCUIT OR SHORT TO GROUND

A1-A3:

A3-A5:

A5-A7:

Normal Operation
Under normal operation, the in-vehicle air temperature sensor receives a ground from the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module through circuit 3051 (BK/YE). A 5-volt reference voltage is supplied to the in-vehicle air temperature sensor from the EATC module through circuit 3050 (WH/OG).

Possible Causes
- An open in circuit 3051 (BK/YE) or 3050 (WH/OG)
- A short to voltage in circuit 3051 (BK/YE)
- A short to ground in circuit 3050 (WH/OG)
- In-vehicle air temperature sensor
- EATC module
