1.CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.

Is any other DTC displayed?

Check the appropriate DTC using the “List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”. List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)">

2.CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Disconnect the connector from ambient sensor.

3) Measure the resistance between ambient sensor terminals while heating and cooling the ambient sensor using a hair dryer.

CAUTION:

Do not heat the part to the temperature where you cannot touch it with your bare hand in order to prevent burning yourself and protect the part.

Terminals

No. 1 — No. 2:

Does the resistance value of ambient sensor change between heating and cooling?

Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.

Replace the ambient sensor. Ambient Sensor">

1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

Detect the malfunction of ambient temperature sensor characteristics.

After the engine starts after the specified period of soaking time has elapsed, judge by correlation between ambient temperature sensor value, intake air temperature sensor value and engine coolant temperature sensor value. Judge as NG when the differences are both above the specified value by comparing between ambient air temperature and intake air temperature, ambient air temperature and engine coolant temperature.

2. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

Ambient temperature sensor is connected to combination meter. ECM receives the data of ambient temperature sensor via CAN communication with combination meter.

3. EXECUTION CONDITION

Secondary parameters	Execution condition
Battery voltage	≥ 10.9 V
Soaking time	≥ 21600 s
Block heater judgment	Completed
Block heater operation	Not in operation

4. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE

Perform the diagnosis only once after the engine starts after a certain period of soaking time.

5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is longer than the time indicated, judge as NG.
