HUMIDITY/IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR TEST
Test
NOTE:
- Before testing the sensor, check for climate control DTCs.
- The climate control unit receives humidity (%) data via digital signal.
- The climate control unit receives in-car temperature (ºC) data via
digital transmission.
1. Humidity/In-Car Temperature Sensor - Test
- Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode and then the ON mode.
- Touch and hold the AUTO icon (A), then within 10 seconds touch and
release the RECIRCULATION
