Go to the next step.

2

INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CONNECTOR CONDITION

•  Switch the ignition OFF.

•  Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor connector.

•  Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition, and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

•  Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.

3

INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION

•  Disconnect the PCM connector.

•  Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition, and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

•  Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.

4

INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND

•  Verify that the ambient temperature sensor connector and the PCM connector are disconnected.

•  Inspect for continuity between ambient temperature sensor terminal A (vehicle wiring harness side) and body ground.

•  Is there continuity?

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between the following terminals.

•  Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between ambient temperature sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 2AX.

If there is a common connector:

―  Inspect the common connector and terminals for corrosion, damage, or disconnection and the common wiring harnesses for short to ground to determine the malfunctioning location.

―  Repair or replace the malfunctioning location.

If there is no common connector:

―  Repair or replace the wiring harness which is shorted to ground.

Go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

5

INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND GROUND CIRCUIT FOR SHORT CIRCUIT

•  Verify that the ambient temperature sensor connector and the PCM connector are disconnected.

•  Inspect for continuity between ambient temperature sensor terminals A and B (vehicle wiring harness side).

•  Is there continuity?

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify if there is a common connector between the following terminals.

•  Ambient temperature sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 2AX

•  Ambient temperature sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 2AY

If there is a common connector:

―  Inspect the common connector and terminals for corrosion, damage, or disconnection and the common wiring harnesses for short circuit to determine the malfunctioning location.

―  Repair or replace the malfunctioning location.

If there is no common connector:

―  Repair or replace the malfunctioning wiring harness.

Go to Step 7.

No

Go to the next step.

6

INSPECT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

•  Inspect the ambient temperature sensor.
(See AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSPECTION

•  Is the ambient temperature sensor normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the ambient temperature sensor, then go to the next step.

(See AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

7

VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED

•  Reconnect all the disconnected connectors.

•  Refer to the [MEMORY CLEARING PROCEDURE] and clear the DTC.
(See CLEARING DTC [PCM (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)])

•  Perform the KOEO or KOER self-test.
(See KOEO/KOER SELF TEST [PCM (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)])

•  Has DTC P0072:00 been recorded?

Yes

Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2])

No

Go to the next step.

8

VERIFY OTHER DTCs

•  Has any other DTC or pending code been stored?

Yes

Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.

(See DTC TABLE [PCM (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)])

No

DTC troubleshooting completed.
