AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING

55B-7

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991502, check data list item 11: 
Inside air temperature sensor.
Item 11: Inside air temperature sensor
OK: The inside air temperature and indicated temperature on 
scan tool MB991502 are almost equal. 
Q: Are the inside air temperature and temperature 

displayed on scan tool MB991502 almost equal?
YES : 
 It can be assumed that this malfunction is 

intermittent. (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with 
Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-6

.) 

NO :   Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the flexible flat cable (FFC) connection.
(1) The FFC is connected to the A/C control panel assembly. 

Check that the FFC connection is not contaminated with 
foreign material or loose (Refer to 

P.55B-136

).

(2) There should be continuity between the FFC terminals.
Q: Is the FFC normal?

YES : Replace the automatic air conditioning control panel. 

Then go to Step 3.

NO :  Replace the FFC. Then go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is DTC 11 or 12 set?

YES : Replace the A/C-ECU.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

DTC 13, 14: Outside Air Temperature Sensor System

.

DTC SET CONDITION
DTC 13 is set if there is a defective connector connection, or if 
there is an open circuit in the harness. 
DTC 14 is set if there is a short circuit in the outside air temper-
ature sensor input circuit.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINT

• Malfunction of the harness.

• Malfunction of the outside air temperature sensor.

• Malfunction of connector

• Malfunction of the A/C-ECU.
