Is the fuse OK?

NO - Replace the fuse, and recheck.

2. Disconnect the in-car temperature sensor 4P connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




4. Measure the voltage between the No. 1 terminal of the in-car temperature sensor 4P connector and the body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 5.

5. Connect the No. 4 terminal of the in-car temperature sensor 4P connector to body ground with a jumper wire.
