Normal Operation
Under normal operation, the in-vehicle air temperature sensor receives a ground from the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module through circuit 3051 (BK/YE). A 5-volt reference voltage is supplied to the in-vehicle air temperature sensor from the EATC module through circuit 3050 (WH/OG).

Possible Causes
- An open in circuit 3051 (BK/YE) or 3050 (WH/OG).
