Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor A Circuit Intermittent/Erratic
This code is in our catalogue but has not yet been through editorial review, so the guidance below is limited to what our structured data supports. We publish deeper diagnostic content only after a code has been reviewed — here is why.
The internal temperature sensor of the control module shows intermittent jumps or dropouts. Module thermal protection may falsely activate or fail to activate when needed.
A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.
