STEP 4. Check A/C-ECU connector C-15, C-16 and interior
temperature sensor connector C-123 for loose, corroded
or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the
connector.
Q: Are A/C-ECU connectors C-15, C-16 and interior
temperature sensor connector C-123 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace the connector. Refer to GROUP
00E, Harness Connector Inspection P.00E-2. Then go
to Step 7.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between A/C-ECU
connector C-15 (terminals 20), C-16 (terminals 22) and
interior temperature sensor connector C-123 (terminals 1
and 2).
Q: Are the wiring harnesses between A/C-ECU connector
C-15 (terminals 20), C-16 (terminals 22) and interior
temperature sensor connector C-123 (terminals 1 and 2)
in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair the wiring harness. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 6. Check the interior temperature sensor.
(1) Disconnect interior temperature sensor connector C-123.
(2) When the resistance between the sensor terminals is
measured under two or more temperature conditions, the
resistance should approximately satisfy the illustrated
values.
NOTE: The temperature conditions when checking should
not exceed the range shown in the diagram.
Q: Is the interior temperature sensor in good condition?
YES : Replace the A/C-ECU. Then go to Step 7.
NO : Replace the interior temperature sensor. Then go to
St e p 7 .
STEP 7. Recheck for diagnostic trouble code.
Check again if the DTC is set.
(1) Connect diagnostic tool to the data link connector
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check if the DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the check result satisfactory?
YES : The procedure is complete.
NO : Return to Step 1.
