Automatic Temperature Control






B102F-Rear Blend Request Input Circuit High






For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.

Theory of Operation

The Rear A/C Heater Control works in conjunction with the A/C Heater Control to control the rear blower motor, rear temperature control and rear mode control. The Rear A/C Heater Control is constantly monitored by the A/C Heater Control for proper operation. If the monitored signal circuits are out of a calibrated range at DTC will set.

When Monitored: With the ignition on.

Set Condition: If the A/C Heater Control detects the voltage is greater than 4.21 volts for 60 seconds on the Rear Blend Signal circuit. If a valid voltage is detected for two seconds the DTC will change from active to stored and stay in the controllers memory for 100 consecutive ignition cycles.






Always perform the HVAC Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Refer to => Non-DTC Based
Diagnostics. HVAC Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure

Test Step 1 - VERIFY THE DTC IS ACTIVE

Ignition on, engine not running.

With the scan tool, erase HVAC DTCs.

Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and turn the ignition on.

Make sure the Rear Control Lockout on the A/C Heater Control is not turned on.

With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs after 60 seconds.

Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

Yes

Go to Test Step 2 => [ Test Step 2 - CHECK FOR OTHER REAR REQUEST CIRCUIT HIGH DTCS ]

No

Go to Test Step 7 => [ Test Step 7 - CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS ]

Test Step 2 - CHECK FOR OTHER REAR REQUEST CIRCUIT HIGH DTCS

With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs.

Are the DTCs B1029-Rear Blower Control Request Input Circuit High and B113E-Rear Mode Request Circuit High also present and Active?

Yes

Go to Test Step 3 => [ Test Step 3 - CHECK THE (C955) SIGNAL GROUND CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT
TO VOLTAGE ]

No

Go to Test Step 5 => [ Test Step 5 - CHECK THE (C254) REAR BLEND SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT
TO VOLTAGE ]

Test Step 3 - CHECK THE (C955) SIGNAL GROUND CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE







Turn the ignition off to the lock position.

Disconnect the A/C Heater Control harness connector.

Disconnect the Rear A/C Heater Control harness connector.

Ignition on, engine not running.

Measure the voltage of the (C955) Signal Ground circuit.

Is there any voltage present?

Yes

Repair the (C955) Signal Ground circuit for a short to voltage.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

No

Go to Test Step 4 => [ Test Step 4 - CHECK THE (C955) SIGNAL GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN ]

Test Step 4 - CHECK THE (C955) SIGNAL GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN







Turn the ignition off to the lock position.

Measure the resistance of the (C955) Signal Ground circuit between the A/C Heater Control harness connector and the Rear A/C Heater Control harness connector.

Is the resistance below 1.0 Ohm?

Yes

Go to Test Step 6 => [ Test Step 6 - CHECK THE HVAC CONTROL MODULES ]

No

Repair the (C955) Signal Ground circuit for an open. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics.

Test Step 5 - CHECK THE (C254) REAR BLEND SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE







Turn the ignition off to the lock position.

Disconnect the A/C Heater Module harness connector.

Disconnect the Rear A/C Heater Control harness connector.

Ignition on, engine not running.

Measure the voltage of the (C254) Rear Blend Signal circuit.

Is there any voltage present?

Yes

Repair the (C254) Rear Blend Signal circuit for a short to voltage.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

No

Go to Test Step 6 => [ Test Step 6 - CHECK THE HVAC CONTROL MODULES ]

Test Step 6 - CHECK THE HVAC CONTROL MODULES

Ignition on, engine not running.

With the scan tool, erase HVAC DTCs.

Turn the ignition off to the lock position.

Reconnect the A/C Heater Control harness connector.

The Rear A/C Heater Control harness connector should still be disconnected.

Ignition on, engine not running.

With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs after 60 seconds.

Does the scan tool display this DTC?

Yes

Replace the A/C Heater Control.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

No

Replace the Rear A/C Heater Control.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

Test Step 7 - CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS

The conditions necessary to set the DTC are not present at this time.

With the scan tool, check the Environmental Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.

Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.

Wiggle the wiring and connectors while checking for shorted and open circuits.

Were there any problems found?

Yes

Repair as necessary.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

No

Test complete.
