Scheme 5
DTC SET CONDITION
- DTC B1001 is set if there is a short circuit in the interior temperature sensor input circuit.
- DTC B1002 is set if there is a defective connector connection, or if there is an open circuit in the harness.
Current trouble
- The A/C-ECU, the interior air temperature sensor, or connector(s) or wiring between the two may be defective.
Past trouble
- If DTC B1001 or B1002 is stored as a past trouble, carry out diagnosis with particular emphasis on wiring and connector(s) between the A/C-ECU and the interior air temperature sensor. If the connectors and wiring are normal, and obviously the ECU is the cause of the trouble, replace the ECU. If in doubt, do not replace the ECU.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINT
