DTC B1A63:12, B1A63:13, B1A64:12, B1A64:13 [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER]



System malfunction location

  • B1A63:12: Solar radiation sensor (RH) circuit short to power supply

  • B1A63:13: Solar radiation sensor (RH) circuit open

  • B1A64:12: Solar radiation sensor (LH) circuit short to power supply

  • B1A64:13: Solar radiation sensor (LH) circuit open

Detection condition

  • Malfunction in wiring harness between solar radiation sensor and climate control unit

Fail-safe

    Malfunction determined when ignition switched ON
  • The solar radiation sensor input value is fixed at the value directly before the malfunction only when the valve is 1,450 W/m2 or more.

    Malfunction already exists when ignition switched ON
  • Solar radiation sensor value is fixed at 0 W/m2.

Possible cause

  • Connector or terminal malfunction

  • Light amount shone on the solar radiation sensor is insufficient (Circuit is normal)

  • Solar radiation sensor malfunction

  • Open circuit in wiring harness between climate control unit and solar radiation sensor

  • Short to power supply in wiring harness between climate control unit and solar radiation sensor

  • Climate control unit malfunction


Diagnostic Procedure



STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

INSPECT SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR CONNECTOR

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair/replace the connector or terminal.

After repair procedure, go to the next step.

2

INSPECT SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the solar radiation sensor.

(See SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FULL-AUTO AIR CONDITIONER].)

Go to the next step.

3

INSPECT SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
  • Disconnect the climate control unit connector and the solar radiation sensor connector.

  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):

    • Climate control unit terminal 1N—solar radiation sensor terminal A

    • Climate control unit terminal 1M—solar radiation sensor terminal C

    • Climate control unit terminal 1O—solar radiation sensor terminal B

  • Is there continuity?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between climate control unit terminal and solar radiation sensor terminal.

    If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.

  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to the next step.

4

INSPECT SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
  • Connect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)

  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).

  • Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side):

    • Climate control unit terminal 1N

    • Climate control unit terminal 1M

    • Climate control unit terminal 1O

  • Is the voltage 0 V?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between climate control unit terminal and solar radiation sensor terminal.

    If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.

  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to the next step.

5

VERIFY CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR CONDITION

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair/replace the malfunctioning vehicle wiring harness, connector, or terminal.

After repair procedure, go to the next step.

6

VERIFY THAT SAME DTC IS NOT OUTPUT AGAIN

Yes

Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

Go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

7

VERIFY THAT NO OTHER DTCs ARE PRESENT
  • Verify other DTCs displayed.

  • Are any other DTCs output?

Yes

Perform the corresponding DTC inspection.

No

DTC troubleshooting completed.
