DTC B2967 or DTC indicator J and AUTO: An Open in the Humidity Sensor Circuit

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Honda Crosstour, 2014 Honda Crosstour, 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2012 Honda Crosstour, and 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then to ON (II).
  3. Do the Self-Diagnostic Function with the HDS (see HOW TO USE THE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION WITH THE HDS  ) or the climate control unit (see HOW TO USE THE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION WITHOUT THE HDS  ).
  4. Check for DTCs.

    Is DTC B2967 or J and AUTO? 

    YES  -Go to step 5.

    NO  -Intermittent failure, check for loose wires or poor connections on the humidity sensor circuit

  5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  6. Remove the humidity/in-car temperature sensor (see HUMIDITY/IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT  ), and test it (see HUMIDITY/IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR TEST  ).

    Is the humidity sensor OK? 

    YES  -Go to step 7.

    NO  -Replace the humidity/in-car temperature sensor (see HUMIDITY/IN-CAR TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT  ).

  7. Disconnect the humidity/in-car temperature sensor 4P connector.
  8. Disconnect climate control unit connector B (12P).
  9. Check for continuity between the following terminals of climate control unit connector B (12P) and the humidity/in-car temperature sensor 4P connector.

    12P 4P 

    No. 7 No. 1

    No. 8 No. 2

    No. 9 No. 3

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Check for loose wires or poor connections at climate control unit connector B (12P) and at the humidity/in-car temperature sensor 4P connector. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good climate control unit, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original climate control unit; with navigation system (see WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM  ), without navigation system (see WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM  ).

    NO  -Repair open in the wire(s) between the climate control unit and the humidity sensor.
