Lexus LS Climate Control AUC Sensor Fault

Interesting. I had a similar problem with my 2018 BMW 5 Series. The air quality sensor went haywire, and the entire climate control system shut down. Have you checked the connector and wiring harness leading to the AUC sensor for any damage or corrosion?

I've visually inspected the connector and wiring, but didn't do a continuity test. Could you tell me about the diagnostic steps you took with your BMW?

Sure. On the BMW, the fault codes pointed to the AUC sensor. I used a multimeter to check for voltage at the sensor connector and found none. I traced the wiring back and found a break in the harness. Given your symptoms and the diagnostic code, it's likely a similar wiring or connector issue. I ended up taking it to a workshop.

Thanks for the help. I took it to a technician, and it was a faulty connector at the AUC sensor, like you thought. It cost 95€.
