B0165

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The HVAC control module monitors the passenger compartment inside air temperature through an inside air temperature sensor. The inside air temperature sensor is a integral part of the HVAC control module. When the air is cold, the sensor resistance and the signal voltage are high. When the air is warm, the sensor resistance and the signal voltage are low.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The ignition is turned ON.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The HVAC control module detects the signal circuit is less than 0.09 volts.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The DTC is stored in DTC information.
^ The HVAC control module will continue to monitor the reference signal of the inside air temperature sensor.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ The DTC will become history if the HVAC control module no longer detects a condition.
^ The history DTC clears after 50 fault free ignition cycles.
^ The DTC can be cleared with a scan tool.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
If the condition is not present, refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections in Diagnostic Aids.
