Circuit Description

The ambient air temperature sensor allows the HVAC control module to monitor the temperature of the air
surrounding the front of the vehicle. The module applies 5 volts to internal input resistors that are connected to
the signal circuit of the ambient air temperature sensor. The module provides ground to the ambient air
temperature sensor through the low reference circuit. The HVAC control module monitors the voltage drop
across the ambient air temperature sensor and uses the input for automatic control calculations. When the air
temperature is cold, the resistance of the sensor is high and the voltage signal is high. When the air temperature
is hot, the resistance of the sensor is low and the voltage signal is low.

Conditions for Running the DTC

z

Battery voltage to the HVAC control module is greater than 8.7 V and less than 16.5 V.

z

The ignition is turned ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The HVAC control module determines that the voltage applied to the input for the ambient air temperature
sensor is less than 0.09 V or greater than 4.9 V.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The scan tool displays 10° C (50° F) as the value for the Outside Air Temp. Raw parameter.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

z

The DTC will become history if the HVAC control module no longer detects the condition that set the
DTC.

z

The history DTC will clear after 100 fault free ignition cycles.

z

The DTC can be cleared with a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

If the condition is not present, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring
Systems.
