NOTE: If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be
sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System
Diagnosis Test Mode A (see page 22-93).
1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then back to ON (II).
3. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Go to step 8.
Go to step 4.
4. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then back to ON (II).
6. Crank the engine.
7. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Go to step 8.
Intermittent failure. The gauge control
module (tach) and power supply voltage (IG1) that
is supplied to the gauge control module (tach) are
OK at this time. The battery may have been
discharged, and recovered. 8. Check the battery (see page 22-67) and the
charging system.
Go to step 9.
The battery needs a recharge or replacement,
or the charging system needs to repaired.
9. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
10. With the gauge control module (tach) 36P connector still connected, measure the voltage
between gauge control module (tach) 36P
connector terminal No. 17 and body ground.
Replace the gauge control module (tach)
(see page 22-277).
Repair an open or high resistance in the BRN
wire between the ignition switch and the gauge
control module (tach).

Description
Outside Air Temperature Indicator Logic Update to the outside air temperature
indicator while driving
Troubleshooting
22-279
Outside Air Temperature Indicator Calibration
The outside temperature sensor is located behind the
center of the front bumper. The gauge control module
(tach) uses measurements from this sensor to display
the outside air temperature.
Because of the location of the sensor, it may be affected
by heat reflection from the road, engine and radiator
heat or hot exhaust from surrounding traffic.
These conditions can heat soak the outside air
temperature sensor and cause inaccurate readings.
Logic has been written into the gauge control module
(tach) to help prevent abnormal or fluctuating outside
air temperature indicator readings.
Initial outside air temperature indication after the
ignition switch is turned to ON (II).
 If the engine coolant temperature is 60 °C (140 °F) or higher when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II),
the outside air temperature indicated the last time the
key was turned off will be displayed regardless of the
current temperature measured by the outside air
temperature sensor.
 If the engine coolant temperature is 59 °C (139 °F) or lower when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), the
current temperature measured by the outside air
temperature sensor will be indicated. If the temperature measured by the outside air
temperature sensor is greater than the temperature on
the outside air temperature indicator, the outside air
temperature indicator will increase by 1 °C (1.8 °F) per
minute after the vehicle speed is greater than 30 km/h
(19 mph) for more than 1 minute and 30 seconds. It will
continue to increase until the current outside air
temperature is indicated. So, the first change to the
outside air temperature indicator is 1 minute and
30 seconds after the vehicle speed is greater than
30 km/h (19 mph). If the vehicle speed drops below
30 km/h (19 mph), the indicator will not update again
until the vehicle speed is increased to 30 km/h (19 mph)
or more for more than 1 minute and 30 seconds again.
If the outside air temperature is less than the indicated
temperature, the temperature will decrease 1 °C every
2 seconds (1 °F
every 1.1 seconds) until the current
outside air temperature is indicated regardless of
vehicle speed.
If the indicator displays ‘‘ ’’ for more than 2
seconds after selecting the outside air temperature
display mode, check the outside air temperature sensor
(see page 21-68), or gauge control module self-
diagnosis (see page 22-241).

NOTE: If the HDS does not communicate with the vehicle, troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11-
204).
1. Do the PGM-FI system DTCs check. If there are any DTCs, troubleshoot the indicated DTC.
2. Do the Body Electrical DTCs check. If there are any DTC, troubleshoot the indicated DTC.
3. Do the system check using the HDS. If there is a system check number, do the troubleshooting for the item indicated (see page 22-326).
4. Check the status log using the HDS. Troubleshoot the line with the highest counts (see page 22-328). If all the lines are ‘‘0’’ zero, the problem may not be caused by the immobilizer system, check for ignition or fuel problems.
NOTE: Once repaired, clear the status log by removing the back up power fuse, or disconnecting the battery.
If a malfunction occurs in the immobilizer circuit for the VBU, IG1 and GND (LG) lines, identify the lines to check with
this table.

NOTE:
 Check the vehicle battery condition first.
 Check for aftermarket accessories plugged into the vehicle accessory power sockets (including cell
phone).
 Check the connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.
 Check the radio reception in an open area. Compare it to a known-good vehicle when ever possible.Poor
reception/interference can be caused by the
following:
– The radio station is far away.
– Atmospheric conditions are unfavorable.
– Tall buildings, mountains, or high-voltage power lines are nearby.
– Aftermarket metallic wi ndow tint.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Do the seek stop test (see page 23-78).
Multipath interference or weak station.
Operation is normal. Go to step 3.
3. Check if the radio reception/interference is the same in several locations.
Go to step 4.
Multipath interference or weak station.
Operation is normal.
4. Start the engine.
5. Check the reception/interference.
Check the antenna and radio grounds. If OK,
check the charging system and the ignition
system. Go to step 6.
6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). 7. Remove the right side C-pillar trim (see page 20-75).
8. Check the connections from the AM/FM antenna
amplifier to the window antenna.
Repair the connections, or substitute a
known-good AM/FM antenna amplifier and retest.
If the symptom/condition goes away, replace the
original AM/FM antenna amplifier (see page 23-87).
Go to step 9.
9. With the help of an assistant inside the vehicle, have the assistant shine a flashlight (A) along each
antenna wire (B). Check from the outside of the
vehicle for any breaks or openings in the antenna
wires (the light shines through).
Repair the window antenna. Go to AM/FM
antenna repair (see page 23-87), or replace the rear
window (see page 20-47).
Go to step 10.
