DTC Descriptors
DTC B3933 02
- Evaporator Air Temperature Sensor Short to Ground
DTC B3933 05
- Evaporator Air Temperature Sensor Short to Battery or Open
Circuit Description
The HVAC control module supplies the evaporator air temperature sensor with a low reference circuit and 5-volt signal circuit. The HVAC control
module determines the voltage drop across the sensor, which is proportional to temperature. As the air temperature increases, the sensor resistance
decreases and the voltage signal decreases. As the air temperature decreases, the sensor resistance increases and the voltage signal increases.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is turned ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The HVAC control module detects the evaporator air temperature sensor signal circuit is less than -36掳C (-38掳F) or more than 215掳C (419掳F) for
more than 15 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The A/C compressor will be disabled.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The DTC will become history if the HVAC control module no longer detects a failure.
* The history DTC will clear after 100 fault-free ignition cycles.
