Checking the passenger compartment temperature
- Ignition on.
Check that the value from the passenger compartment temperature sensor is within the permitted range. The temperature must correspond to the ambient temperature.
If the temperature is now OK, the fault was caused by contact resistance or loose connections.
Read off the passenger compartment temperature by clicking on the VCT2000 symbol.
Are the temperatures correct?
Yes - Checking the connectors and wiring
No - Checking the component and wiring
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the connectors and wiring
- Ignition off
- Disconnect the connector on the climate control module (CCM).
Check the signal cable between the climate control module (CCM) and the passenger compartment temperature sensor. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage.
Take a reading between terminals #6 (#30) and #16 (#40) on the connector for the climate control module (CCM).
Check the ground lead between the climate control module (CCM) and the passenger compartment temperature sensor. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage.
Take a reading between terminals #14 (#38) and #16 (#40) on the connector for the climate control module (CCM).
The voltage must be approximately 0 V.
Check the signal and ground cables between the climate control module (CCM) and the passenger compartment temperature sensor. Check for an intermittent open-circuit.
Take a reading between terminals #6 (#30) and #14 (#38) on the connector for the climate control module (CCM).
Check the connectors for contact resistance and oxidation.
Remedy as necessary.

The resistance must correspond to the resistance for the passenger compartment temperature sensor.
Check the connectors for contact resistance and oxidation.
Check that the climate control module (CCM) is receiving a correct value from the passenger compartment temperature sensor by measuring its resistance and comparing with the values in the table.
Remedy as necessary.

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).
