DME Fault Entry: Ambient Temperature Sensor, Plausibility (12 13 11)

DME FAULT ENTRY: AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR, PLAUSIBILITY

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

SUBJECT

DME Fault Entry: Ambient Temperature Sensor, Plausibility 

SITUATION

The Service Engine Soon (MIL) lamp is on with either of the following DME faults stored:

• E-Series: 2F99 - ambient temperature sensor, plausibility
• F-Series: 10B008 - ambient temperature sensor, plausibility: signal implausible

The fault could occur if the vehicle is exposed to high temperature fluctuations.

For example:

The vehicle is parked for several hours in a heated garage. The engine is started and then driven outside of the garage during the cold time of year.

CAUSE

DME diagnostic software

CORRECTION

If the fault is stored, proceed as follows based upon the DME's current software or vehicle integration level.

Battery voltage only "XX.XX" V. Please connect charger.

Please note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair order comments section.
