Code 10: Air Temperature (Ta) Sensor
- Turn ignition off. Remove BACK UP fuse from underhood fuse/relay box for 10 seconds to reset ECU. Check ECU for fault codes. See RETRIEVING CODES . If Code 10 is not present, problem is intermittent. Check for poor connections at ECU connector and air temperature sensor.
- Test drive vehicle and retest. If Code 10 is present, turn ignition off. Disconnect 2-wire connector from sensor connector. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance at sensor terminals. If resistance is not 400-4000 ohms, replace air temperature sensor. If resistance is 400-4000 ohms, turn ignition on. Measure voltage between Red/Yellow terminal and body ground.
- If about 5 volts are not present, go to step 4). If about 5 volts are present, measure voltage between Red/Yellow (+) wire terminal and Green/White (-) wire terminal at sensor. If about 5 volts are not present, repair open in Green/White wire between ECU terminal D22 and air temperature sensor. If about 5 volts are present, substitute a known good ECU, and recheck. If symptom/condition goes away, replace original ECU.
- Turn ignition off. Connect ECU Test Harness (07LAJ-PT3010A ) "D" connector to ECU, leaving wiring harness disconnected. See Figure . Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between test terminals D15 (+) and D22 (-). If about 5 volts are present, repair open or short in Red/Yellow wire between ECU connector terminal D15 and air temperature sensor. If about 5 volts are not present, substitute a known good ECU, and recheck. If symptom/condition goes away, replace original ECU.
