B1231

DTC B1231 or TE sensor open is indicated: An Open in the Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit

1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF and then ON (II).
3. Do the self-diagnostic with the HDS or climate control unit.
4. Check for DTCs.

Is DTC B1231 or TE sensor open indicated?

YES - Go to step 4.

NO - Intermittent failure, check for loose wires or poor connections on the evaporator temperature sensor circuit.

5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Remove the evaporator temperature sensor and test it.

Is the evaporator temperature sensor OK?

YES - Go to step 7.

NO - Replace the evaporator temperature sensor.

7. Disconnect the climate control unit 40P connector.




8. Check for continuity between the climate control unit 40P connector terminal No. 17 and the evaporator temperature sensor 2P connector terminal No. 1.

Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 9.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the climate control unit and the evaporator temperature sensor.




9. Check for continuity between the climate control unit 40P connector terminal No. 17 and the evaporator temperature sensor 2P connector terminal No. 2.

Is there continuity?

YES - Check for loose wire or poor connections at the climate control unit 40P connector and at the evaporator temperature sensor 2P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good climate control unit, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original climate control unit.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the climate control unit and the evaporator temperature sensor.
