B1032 - Evaporator Fin Temperature Sensor Circuit High

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.






When Monitored: With the ignition on.

Set Condition: If the evaporator temperature sensor input is out of range toward the high voltage threshold.






This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid. Do not perform this test if this DTC is stored.

Test Step 1 - Check Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal Circuit for a Short to Voltage






Turn the ignition OFF.

Disconnect the A/C heater control C2 (3 ZONE MTC) 16 way harness connector.

Turn the ignition ON.

Measure the voltage of the evaporator temperature sensor signal circuit in the A/C heater control C2 (3 ZONE MTC) 16 way harness connector.

Is the voltage more than 0.2 volts?

Yes

Repair the evaporator temperature sensor signal circuit for a short to voltage.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

No

Go to Test Step 2 => [ Test Step 2 - Check Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal Circuit,
Sensor Ground Circuit, and Evaporator Temperature Sensor ]

Test Step 2 - Check Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal Circuit, Sensor Ground Circuit, and Evaporator Temperature Sensor






Turn the ignition OFF.

Measure the resistance between the evaporator temperature sensor signal circuit and the sensor ground circuit in the A/C heater control C2 (3 ZONE MTC) 16 way harness connector. The approximate circuit resistance should be as follows:

1468 ohms @ 40 °C (104 °F)

1800 ohms @ 35 °C (95 °F)

2221 ohms @ 30 °C (86 °F)

2757 ohms @ 25 °C (77 °F)

3443 ohms @ 20 °C (68 °F)

4330 ohms @ 15 °C (59 °F)

5485 ohms @ 10 °C (50 °F)

6998 ohms @ 5 °C (41 °F)

7354 ohms @ 4 °C (39 °F)

7731 ohms @ 3 °C (37 °F)

8130 ohms @ 2 °C (36 °F)

8553 ohms @ 1 °C (34 °F)

9000 ohms @ 0 °C (32 °F)

Is the resistance within the specifications?

Yes

Replace the A/C heater control.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

No

Go to Test Step 3 => [ Test Step 3 - Check Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal Circuit
for an Open ]

Test Step 3 - Check Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal Circuit for an Open






Disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor harness connector.

Measure the resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor signal circuit between the A/C heater control C2 (3 ZONE MTC) 16 way harness connector and the evaporator temperature sensor harness connector.

Is the resistance less than 5.0 ohms?

Yes

Go to Test Step 4 => [ Test Step 4 - Check Sensor Ground Circuit for an Open ]

No

Repair the evaporator temperature sensor signal circuit for an open.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

Test Step 4 - Check Sensor Ground Circuit for an Open






Measure the resistance of the sensor ground circuit between the A/C heater control C2 (3 ZONE MTC) 16 way harness connector and the evaporator temperature sensor harness connector.

Is the resistance less than 5.0 ohms?

Yes

Replace the evaporator temperature sensor.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

No

Repair the sensor ground circuit for an open.
