It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.
Refer to
HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING/ INSPECTION
SERVICE POINTS
.
NO:
Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 02: Ambient air
temperature sensor.
1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connec
tor.

2. Start the engine.
3. Check the data list.
Item 02: Ambient air temperature sensor.
Check that the ambient temperature matches the displayed value on
the scan tool.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor within the specified range?
YES:
Replace the A/C-ECU. Then go to Step 7 .
NO:
Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Check A/C-ECU connectors C-16, C-17 and ambient air
temperature sensor connector A-22 for loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.NOTE: When this DTC is set and the system is fail-safe
status, the value of service data displays 20°C.
