| DTC B1385: | Temperature Sensor Malfunction |
| 1. | Clear the DTCs by selecting the DTCs MENU (DTCs) from the Honda PGM Tester or the HDS. |
| 2. | Open the tailgate fully, then close the tailgate fully with the transmitter or the power tailgate inner switch. |
| 3. | Check the DTCs by selecting the DTCs MENU (DTCs) from the Honda PGM Tester or the HDS. Is DTC B1385 indicated? YES - Go to 4. NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.n |
| 4. | Cycle the ignition switch to OFF. |
| 5. | Open the tailgate fully with the tailgate outer handle. |
| 6. | Disconnect power tailgate control unit connector D (8P). |
| 7. | Disconnect the temperature sensor 2P connector. |
| 8. | Check for continuity between the No. 1 terminal of power tailgate control unit connector D (8P) and body ground. Is there continuity? YES - Repair a short in the WHT (TRM+) wire.n NO - Go to 9. |
| 9. | Check for continuity between the No. 1 terminal of the temperature sensor 2P connector and body ground. Is there continuity? YES - Repair a short in the BLK(TRM-) wire.n NO - Go to 10. |

| 12. | Dip the temperature sensor in ice water, and measure the resistance between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals of the temperature senser. Then pour hot water on the temperature sensor, and check for a change in resistance. Is the resistance within the specifications shown on the graph? YES - Faulty power tailgate control unit; replace it.n NO - Faulty temperature sensor; replace it.n |
