  4. To advance to the next sensor, press the REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER button
    NOTE:
    • The sensor values are displayed in degrees Celsius (°C) or an alphanumeric code Use the charts to convert degrees Fahrenheit (°F), or convert the alphanumeric code to a numerical value
    • If the sensor value displays "Er" this indicates there is an open or short in the circuit or sensor Check for DTCs using the HDS, or use the climate control unit self-diagnostic function
    • If necessary, compare the sensor input display to a known-good vehicle under the same test conditions
    • If the sensor is out of the normal range, refer to the sensor test or substitute a known-good sensor, and recheck
