1.CHECK CONNECTOR. 1) Check the connecting conditions of combination meter connector and ambient sensor connector. 2) Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) | | Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC B1432 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT OPEN (AIR-CONDITIONER) | Even if DTC is displayed, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again. NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause. |
2.CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR. 1) Disconnect the ambient sensor. 2) Short the connector B480. 3) Read the DTC of the A/C CM using the Subaru Select Monitor. Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) | | Replace the ambient sensor. Ambient Sensor > REMOVAL | Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC B1432 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT OPEN (AIR-CONDITIONER) |
3.CHECK HARNESS. 1) Restore the temporary shorted lines made in step 2. 2) Turn the ignition switch to ON. 3) Using the tester, measure the voltage between terminals. Connector & terminal (B480) No. 1 (+) — No. 2 (−): | Is the voltage 4.5 — 5.0 V- | Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC B1432 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT OPEN (AIR-CONDITIONER) | Repair or replace the open circuit of harness. |
4.CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT). 1) Disconnect the connector from the combination meter. 2) Using a tester, check continuity between terminals. Connector & terminal (B480) No. 1 — (i10) No. 24: (B480) No. 2 — (i10) No. 23: | | Replace the combination meter. Combination Meter > REMOVAL | Repair or replace the open circuit of harness. |
