Summary
This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician on how the radio display gets the air ambient temperature. On 1500 series trucks and all sport utility vehicle with regular production option code IO3 radio the ambient air temperature sensor is hard wired to the engine control module and then the signal goes on high speed local area network to the body control module from there on low speed local area network to the radio. On 1500 series trucks and all sport utility vehicle with regular production option code IO4, IO5, or IO6 the ambient air temperature sensor is hard wired to the engine control module and then the signal goes on high speed local area network to the body control module from there on low speed local area network to the radio then Most 50 Bus to the Human Machine Interface. On 2500/3500 series trucks production option code IO3 radio the ambient air temperature sensor is hard wired to the instrument panel cluster and then the signal goes on low speed local area network to the radio. On 2500/3500 series trucks production option code IO4, IO5, or IO6 radio the ambient air temperature sensor is hard wired to the instrument panel cluster and then the signal goes on low speed local area network to the radio then Most 50 Bus to the Human Machine Interface.

Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to update model years, Condition/Concern. Please discard PIT5365C
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition / Concern
There has been some confusion on how the temperature reading that is displa
yed on the radio, gets
from the ambient temperature sensor to the actual radio displa
y. Depending on the model, engine
and/or radio option, it may vary. The block diagrams below should help clarify any confusi
on.

IMPORTANT INFO FOR 2015 HD TRUCKS ONLY: Midway through the 2015 model year, the Full Size HD
Pickup trucks were updated. Theseupdated trucks are now known as 2015i trucks, and they can be
easily identified as having the "A
VF" RPO code. Any 2015i truck that is equipped with diesel engine
(RPO LML) will now have an ambient air temperature sensor
that is located in the passenger mirror
,
which is used for powertrain requirements. The 2015 6.6L diesel trucks (engine
RPO LML) built
PRIOR to the mid year change 2015i (no RPO A
VF) do not have a physical ambient air temperature
sensor in the passenger outside mirror for the powertrain requirements. The outside temperature
for powertrain requirementsis calculated by the ECM on these models.
Some early built 2015i trucks equipped with the 6.6L diesel engine (RPO LML) built before 12/14/14
use the ambient air temperature sensorlocated in the passenger mirror for the temperature
displayed on the radio, as well as HVAC and powertrain requirements. If the BCM and IPC are
reprogrammed with the latest calibrations in TIS2WEB, this will change the operation of the radio
and HVAC topology to what is shown above. The grille mounted ambient air temperature sensor will
now be used for the radio and HVAC requirements, and the passenger mirror sensor will now only
be used for powertrain requirements. Theradio outside temperature display will show "- -" if only
one of the modules (BCM or IPC) is programmed with thelatest calibrations. The other module will
need to be programmed with the latest calibration to correct the issue.
Note: For all configurations listed above, after the IPC or BCM sends the ambient air temperature
out on the Low Speed LAN buss, the HV
AC control module will use this information for HV
AC related
requirements.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is
resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
