How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before handling wiring.
- Locate the indicated sensor: Use the tech sheet to identify which thermistor is associated with E19.
- Check connector: Ensure the sensor connector is fully seated at both ends. Reseat if loose.
- Continuity test: With the sensor disconnected at both ends, test continuity through the harness. Repair or replace if open.
- Test thermistor: Measure resistance directly at the sensor. If it reads OL (open), replace the thermistor.
- Control board: If sensor and harness are intact but E19 persists, replace the main control board.
