Pinpoint Tests

PINPOINT TEST A : TEMPERATURE SENSOR — AMBIENT (ACC)

NOTE: REFER to Section 412-02 SYMPTOM CHART BEFORE PROCEEDING

Test Step

Result / Action to Take

A1

WIRING INSPECTION - SHORT TO VEHICLE BODY

Start and run engine until normal operating temperature is reached.

Yes

Go to A2 if code B1257 is set.

Ensure vehicle battery voltage is within normal operating range

Go to A3 if code B1255 is set.

(12~14volts) before proceeding with test.

No

Using WDS scan tool, record all DTC’s set in the HIM memory.

System OK

Using WDS scan tool, clear all DTC’s set in the HIM memory.

Using WDS scan tool, perform HVAC On Demand Self Test.

Are any DTC codes set?

System OK

Using the WDS Scan Tool, read the EXT_TEMP value (Ambient

No

sensor temperature) from the HIM.

Go to A5

Compare the value against a temperature probe located near the
Ambient sensor.

NOTE:

Accurate operation of the sensor relies on air moving

across the sensor. Therefore, while the vehicle is stationary or at
low speed or operating for a short period of time only, the
display may differ slightly from the true ambient temperature.

Do the temperatures closely match?

Carefully insert the test probes of a resistance meter in to the REAR
of the Evaporator sensor connector (wire side). Inserting probes in to
front of terminals will damage the sensor assembly and cause
intermittent A/C operation. Compare the sensor resistance value from
Table B with a temperature thermometer located in the face outlet.

Is the resistance reading within specification (+/- 5 degC) as per
table B?
