A/C Switch Fault

A/C SWITCH FAULT

Theory of Operation
The switch input changes when the switch is pushed down. A stored DTC indicates that the A/C mode switch was stuck in a pushed position for more than 10 minutes, but has since returned to its normal state. An active DTC indicates that the A/C mode switch is stuck in a pushed position. An active DTC will prevent proper switch and status indicator function as evidenced by not being able to turn the A/C status indicator either on if off or off if on.

WHEN MONITORED
With the ignition on.

SET CONDITION
If the A/C mode switch stays closed for 10 minutes.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
- A/C heater control
