DTC B1A42 Dodge

Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Range Performance

Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Range Performance

Description

The powertrain control module (PCM) continuously monitors this sensor for concerns. This DTC sets when the ambient air temperature (AAT) sensor reading does not correlate with the other temperature sensor readings at ignition ON. The PCM runs this logic after an engine off and a calibrated soak period, typically 6 - 8 hours. This soak period allows the AAT sensor and the other temperature sensors to stabilize and not differ by greater than a calibrated value, typically 18°C (32.4°F).

Cause and Solution

Damaged AAT sensor
