Signal Too High






Signal too high

Checking components and wiring
Check the resistance of the outside temperature sensor.
Check the signal cable between control module terminal #B29 (#B39) and outside temperature sensor terminal #1. Check for a short-circuit to ground.

Hint: With the ignition on and the outside temperature sensor connector disconnected, the voltage between #1 and the ground terminal must be approximately 5V.

Remedy as necessary.

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 - Exit fault-tracing

No - Attempt New Test
