Signal Too Low. Permanent Fault

Signal too low. Permanent fault

Checking connector








- Ignition off
- Check wiring and connectors for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
- Reinstall components, reconnect connectors etc.
- Ignition on.
- Read off outside temperature.
If the temperature is now within its permitted range, the fault was caused by loose connections in the connector.

Other information
- To access/replace the outside temperature sensor see Replacing sensor Replacing Sensor.













Is the signal OK?

Yes - FAULT FOUND

No - Checking wiring and components

-------------------------------------------------

Checking wiring and components
Check outside temperature sensor resistance.

Note! The outside temperature sensor can be defective if the signal cable has been short-circuited to supply voltage. Check this before replacing the sensor.

Check signal cable between control module #B29 (#B39) and outside temperature sensor #1 for an intermittent open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault and a short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault

Hint: With the ignition on and the outside temperature sensor connector disconnected, the voltage between #1 and ground should be approximately 5 V.

Check the ground lead between control module #B2 (#B12) and the outside temperature sensor #2 for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off.
- Reconnect connectors, reinstall components.
- Ignition on.
- Read off outside temperature.





Is the temperature within its permitted range?

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - Exit fault-tracing

No - Attempt New Test
