To run the sensor input display mode, follow these steps

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. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  2. Press and hold both the AUTO and RECIRCULATION CONTROL buttons, then start the engine.
  3. After the engine starts, release both buttons. The audio-HVAC display will flash the sensor number and then the value for that sensor. Record the value displayed.
  4. To advance to the next sensor, press the REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER/MIRROR DEFOGGER button.
    NOTE:
    • The sensor values will be displayed in degrees Celsius (CC) or an alphanumeric code. Use the chart to convert the value to degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
    • If the sensor value displays "Er" this indicates there is an open or short in the circuit or sensor. Check for DTCs using the HDS, or use the climate control self-diagnostic function.
    • If necessary, compare the sensor input display to a known-good vehicle under the same test conditions.
    • If the sensor is out of the normal range, refer to the sensor test or substitute a known-good sensor, and recheck.
