What Does the B0519 Code Mean?

The air temperature sensors are a 2-wire negative temperature coefficient thermistor. This sensor operates using signal and low reference circuits. As the air temperature surrounding the sensor increases, the sensor resistance decreases. The sensor is capable of reading temperatures ranging from -40 to +80°C (-40 to +176°F), with a signal voltage between 0-5 V. If the HVAC control module detects a malfunctioning sensor the software uses a default air temperature value. The default action ensures that the HVAC system can adjust the inside air temperature near the desired temperature until the condition is corrected. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets when the input signal is out of range. The Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Control Module detects voltage greater than 4.9 V on the temperature signal circuit.
