Subaru Legacy BN/BS (2015-2019) Service Manual / Hvac system (diagnostics) / Diagnostic procedure with diagnostic trouble code (dtc) / Dtc b1432 ambient temperature sensor circuit open (air-conditioner)

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

• Ambient sensor to combination meter circuit is open.

• Data to be received from the combination meter via CAN communication do not arrive.

TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

• Defective ambient temperature display

• Ambient temperature is falsely recognized as 15.2°C, and the compartment temperature is adjusted.

STEP	CHECK	YES	NO
1.CHECK CONNECTOR. 1) Check the connecting conditions of combination meter connector and ambient sensor connector. 2) Read the DTC using Subaru Select Monitor. Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)	Is B1432 displayed-	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC B1432 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT OPEN (AIR-CONDITIONER)	Even if DTC is displayed, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again. NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
2.CHECK AMBIENT SENSOR. 1) Disconnect the ambient sensor. 2) Short the connector B480. 3) Read the DTC of the A/C CM using the Subaru Select Monitor. Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)	Is B1433 displayed-	Replace the ambient sensor. Ambient Sensor > REMOVAL	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC B1432 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT OPEN (AIR-CONDITIONER)
3.CHECK HARNESS. 1) Restore the temporary shorted lines made in step 2. 2) Turn the ignition switch to ON. 3) Using the tester, measure the voltage between terminals. Connector & terminal (B480) No. 1 (+) — No. 2 (−):	Is the voltage 4.5 — 5.0 V-	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC B1432 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT OPEN (AIR-CONDITIONER)	Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.
4.CHECK HARNESS (OPEN CIRCUIT). 1) Disconnect the connector from the combination meter. 2) Using a tester, check continuity between terminals. Connector & terminal (B480) No. 1 — (i10) No. 24: (B480) No. 2 — (i10) No. 23:	Is there continuity-	Replace the combination meter. Combination Meter > REMOVAL	Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.
