What does this fault code mean?
This code is event-controlled and does not indicate a fault in the engine control module. It shows that the signal from the outside temperature sensor is wrong. It is a consequential fault of other codes, and it clears by itself once the conditions no longer apply.
Possible causes
- Damaged outside temperature sensor
- The signal lead is short-circuited to ground
- The signal lead is short-circuited to supply voltage
- Open circuit in the signal lead
What you can do
- 1Fix the main fault first, meaning the code for the outside temperature sensor or its circuit
- 2Read the other fault codes in the engine control module. If you find a code for the outside temperature sensor or its wiring, start with that one
- 3The code does not need to be cleared. It disappears by itself when the conditions no longer apply
- 4If the code remains after the main fault has been fixed, check the sensor connector and wiring for damage
- 5If you are unsure, have a workshop read the fault codes with diagnostic equipment
Symptoms you may notice1
- No noticeable symptoms for the driver
What the fault can affect1
- A predefined value is used instead
General guidance for car owners. Diagnosis on the car can point to a different cause.
