DTC Troubleshooting: 7

DTC 7:  An Open in the Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit


1.Remove the evaporator temperature sensor and test it.

Does the evaporator temperature sensor test OK?


YES - Go to 2.


NO - Replace the  evaporator temperature sensor.n


2.Disconnect the audio-HVAC module 22P connector.

3.Check for continuity between the No. 10 terminal of the audio-HVAC module 22P connector and the No. 1 terminal of the evaporator temperature sensor 2P connector.

Is there continuity?


YES - Go to 4.


NO - Repair open in the wire between the audio-HVAC module and the evaporator temperature sensor.n

4.Check for continuity between the No. 9 terminal of the audio-HVAC module 22P connector and the No. 2 terminal of the evaporator temperature sensor 2P connector.

Is there continuity?


YES - Check for loose wires or poor connections at the audio-HVAC module 22P connectors and at the  evaporator temperature sensor 2P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good audio-HVAC module, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original printed circuit board.n


NO - Repair open in the wire between the printed circuit board and the evaporator temperature sensor.n
