Have an FSM? Look something up for me, please...

My FSM CD-ROM has gone AWOL.... so I need someone to look something up and post it up here for me, if you would be so kind.

I know the section is there, since I've read it before.

I need to know the pages that talk about how to do the diagnostic process for the automatic (non-manual) climate control. Right now (with it 65 degrees out) I have to crank the heat to about 84 to get warm air, else it just blows cold A/C up to 82-83. I think it's the interior temp. sensor gone bad, but the self-diagnostic will tell.

Thanks in advance...

I did a good search and found the writeup for the self-diagnostic. It says that the evap temperature sensor (aka "intake sensor) is reading 131 degrees....definitely bad

so...does anyone know where that sensor is or how to replace it?

On the '02 it's on lower right side of the evaporator (behind the glove box with the blower) with the connector on the lower right of that. Hopefully that gets you close!
EDIT: Did some more searching and figured out where it was....

Here you go, page HA-37 (I believe)

EDIT, never mind, just noticed that you have already found the write up.
