Signal Too Low






Signal too low

Checking the function




- Ignition on
- Check that the value from the air quality sensor is within the permitted range.

Note! The blower fan must be running.

Expose the fresh air intake to windshield washer fluid, gasoline vapor or similar.
The value should be between 4% and 96%.









Is this value within its permitted range?

Yes - Checking the connectors and cables

No - Checking components and wiring

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

Checking the connectors and cables
Check connector B on the climate control module (CCM) and the air quality sensor connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation. Check for loose connections.
Check the cable between climate control module (CCM) terminal #B3 (#3) and air quality sensor terminal #3. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to ground.
Check the cable between climate control module (CCM) terminal #B16 (#16) and air quality sensor terminal #1. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to ground.
Check the cable between climate control module (CCM) terminal #B5 (#5) and air quality sensor terminal #5. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to ground.

Fault-tracing information




Information

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 - FAULT-TRACING FAILED

No - Attempt New Test

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

Attempt New Test - Checking the function

FAULT-TRACING FAILED - No Fault Found

Fault-tracing information




Information

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
It is possible to view the information again, or leave fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Do you want to view the information again?

Yes - Attempt New Test

No - Fault Found
