STEP 8. Check the harness wires between RV meter connector D-07 (terminal 23 and 31) and ambient air temperature sensor connector A-29
(terminal 1 and 2).
NOTE: After inspecting intermediate connector D-28 inspect the wires. If intermediate connector D-28 is damaged, repair or replace it. Refer to
Harness Connector Inspection.
Q: Are harness wires between RV meter connector D-07 (terminal 23 and 31) and ambient air temperature sensor connector A-29 (terminal 1 and 2) in
good condition?
YES: Go to Step 9.
NO: Repair or replace them. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection.
STEP 9. Recheck for malfunction.
Q: Is a malfunction eliminated?
