PACCAR MX (2004 Emissions) Fault Code: U1071 Inlet Air Humidity Before Compressor – Data Erratic, Intermittent or Incorrect
SET CONDITIONS:
The PCI ECU (D420) receives a CAN message from the humidity sensor (F852) that contains an out-of-range value for the relative humidity.
DIAGNOSTIC CONDITION:
This diagnostic runs continuously when the ignition is on.
CORRESPONDING OBD READINESS MONITOR:
None
RESET CONDITION:
This DTC changes to inactive after the ignition is keyed off for at least 15 seconds and keyed on again, and the fault is no longer detected.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The humidity sensor is a smart sensor that communicates with the PCI ECU via E-CAN. The sensor measures the following three properties of the drawn in pre-compressor (VTG turbo charger) air in the inlet air pipe:
1. Relative humidity
2. Pressure
3. Temperature
