Parameter check
1)Connect SUZUKI scan tool to DLC when ignition is “OFF”.
2)Set ignition “ON”.
3)Check “Outside Air Temp” displayed on SUZUKI scan tool. icon 
Is check result OK?
Check for intermittent trouble. icon 
Go to Step 2.

Outside air temperature sensor circuit check
1)Check that ignition is “OFF”.
2)Disconnect outside air temperature sensor and “E05” connectors.
3)Check for proper terminal connection to outside air temperature sensor and “E05” connectors.
4)If connections are OK, check the following points.
•Resistance of “A1” and “A2” circuits: less than 1 Ω
•Resistance between “A1” circuit and ground: infinity
•Resistance between “A1” and “A2” circuit terminals at outside air temperature sensor connector: infinity
•Voltage of “A1” and “A2” circuits: approx. 0 V (When ignition is “ON”)
Is check result OK?
Go to Step 3.
Repair or replace defective wire harness.
