B1330

DTC B1330 Left A/C Discharge Sensor Fault:

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The left A/C temperature sensor is a thermistor that controls signal voltage to the Instrument Panel Integration Module (IPM). The IPM supplies voltage on circuit 516. When the sensor is cold, the resistance is high and the IPM will sense a high signal voltage at terminal B6, connector C2. When the sensor warms, resistance is reduced and the signal voltage is pulled low through circuit 61. Signal voltage will vary from 5 V (open circuit) to 0 V (short circuit).

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING DTC
^ The ignition is ON.
^ Circuit open or short.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ A default value of 128 counts and 24°C (75°F) will be used by the IPM.
^ The default valve allows the system to operate.
^ If air delivery is on A/C or bilevel, the air mix two door will cycle between full cold and full hot.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ Using a Scan Tool.
^ A current DTC will clear when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ IPM battery voltage is interrupted.

TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
1. Perform the Body Control Module (BCM) Diagnostic System Check before continuing with the diagnosis of this DTC.
3. Ensures that the DTC was not set in error.
4. Determines whether the cause of the malfunction is the sensor or an open or short in a circuit.
9. The Scan Tool checks for proper sensor operation. Clear all the DTCs after the repair procedure is complete.
