Code 03 Or 04, Outside Air Temperature Sensor Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Unplug outside air temperature sensor connector. Outside air temperature sensor is located on center radiator support. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage at Light Green/Black wire at outside air temperature sensor connector.
- If voltmeter indicates 5 volts, go to next step. If Code 03 was set and voltmeter does not indicate 5 volts, check for short in Light Green/Black wire. If Code 04 was set, check for short to voltage or open circuit in Light Green/Black wire. If wire is okay, replace A/C-heater control unit.
- If voltmeter indicated 5 volts in step 2), measure voltage between Light Green/Black and Yellow wires at sensor connector. If voltmeter does not indicate 5 volts, check and/or repair Yellow wire for an open.
- If voltmeter indicated 5 volts in steps 2) and 3), check A/C control unit connectors. Clean or repair connectors as necessary. If connectors are okay, replace outside air temperature sensor.
