P0071 - AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE - DTC CHART
| Description: 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 to 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). | |||
Possible Causes:

| Diagnostic Aids: Make sure the AAT sensor reading and the other temperature sensor readings are similar when the engine is cold and the vehicle has not been in direct sun light. | |||
| Application | Key On Engine Off | Key On Engine Running | Continuous Memory |
