the air temperature increases the count value will decrease. If the HVAC control module or auxiliary HVAC control module detects a

malfunctioning sensor, then the control module software will use a defaulted air temperature value. The default value for the ambient and inside air

temperature sensors will be displayed on the scan tool. The default value for the duct air temperature sensors will not be displayed on the scan tool.

The scan tool parameter for the duct air temperature sensors are the actual state of the signal circuit. The default action ensures that the HVAC

system can adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected.

Diagnostic Aids

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The HVAC control module detects the temperature sensor signal circuit is less than -36掳C (-38掳F) or greater than 215掳C (419掳F) for greater than 15

seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The system operates using a default value.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC will become history if the HVAC control module no longer detects the condition that set the DTC.

* The history DTC will clear after 100 fault-free ignition cycles.
