3. Check for DTCs using the HDS or self-diagnostic.
Is DTC B1227 or C and AUTO indicated?

8. Check for continuity between the No. 29 terminal of the front climate control unit 30P connector and the No. 1 terminal of the outside air temperature sensor 2P connector.
Is there continuity?
YES - Check for loose wires or poor connections at the front climate control unit 30P connector and at the outside air temperature sensor 2P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good front climate control unit, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original front climate control unit.
