32-EVAPORATOR SENSOR SHORTED (MTC)





For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.



Possible Causes
 
(C21) EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
 
(C21) EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO (C121) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
 
EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
 
A/C HEATER CONTROL
 


NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid. Do not perform this test if this DTC is stored. Refer to HVAC System Test (MTC) for stored DTC test procedures.



Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK FOR DTC 32–EVAPORATOR SENSOR SHORTED WITH EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR DISCONNECTED



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Evaporator Temperature Sensor harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Actuate the Clear DTC function by performing the following:
Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and turn the ignition on.
Actuate the Display DTC function by performing the following:

NOTE: The A/C status indicator displays active DTCs when the EBL status indicator is not illuminated and stored DTCs when the EBL status indicator is illuminated.


Read DTCs from the A/C status indicator.

Does the A/C status indicator display DTC 32?

Yes


No

2. CHECK (C21) EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit between ground and the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.

Is the resistance below 10k ohms?

Yes


No

3. CHECK (C21) EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO (C121) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT



Measure the resistance between the (C21) Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit and the (C121) Sensor Ground circuit in the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.

Is the resistance below 10k ohms?

Yes


No
