STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between A/C-ECU 
connector C-15 (terminals 20), C-16 (terminals 22) and 
interior temperature sensor connector C-123 (terminals 1 
and 2).

NOTE: Also check joint connector C-03 for loose, corroded, or 
damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 
If joint connector C-03 is damaged, repair or replace the con-
nector as described in GROUP 00E, Harness Connector 
Inspection

.

Q: Are the wiring harnesses between A/C-ECU connector 

C-15 (terminals 20), C-16 (terminals 22) and interior 
temperature sensor connector C-123 (terminals 1 and 2) 
in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 6. Check the interior temperature sensor.

(1) Disconnect interior temperature sensor connector C-123.

(2) When the resistance between the sensor terminals is 

measured under two or more temperature conditions, the 

resistance should approximately satisfy the illustrated 
values.
NOTE: The temperature conditions when checking should 
not exceed the range shown in the diagram.

Q: Is the interior temperature sensor in good condition?

YES : Replace the A/C-ECU. Then go to Step 7.
NO :  Replace the interior temperature sensor. Then go to 

Step 7.

STEP 7. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.

Check again if the DTC is set.

1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Check if the DTC is set.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the check result satisfactory?

YES : The procedure is complete.
NO :  Return to Step 1.

CAUTION

During diagnosis, a DTC code associated with 
another system may be set when the ignition 
switch is turned on with connector(s) discon-
nected. On completion, confirm all systems for 
DTC code(s). If DTC code(s) are set, erase them 
all.
