DTC P0A36-11: Generator Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Ground; DTC P0A36-15: Generator Temperature Sensor Circuit Short to Auxiliary Battery or Open [12/2019 - 11/2023]: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The resistance of the thermistor built into the generator temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in generator (MG1) temperature. The lower the generator (MG1) temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance. Conversely, the higher the generator (MG1) temperature, the lower the resistance.
