Manual Three Zone Temperature Control
B102E-Rear Blend Request Input Circuit Low
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 a DTC will set.
• When Monitored: With the ignition on.
• Set Condition: If the A/C Heater Control detects a voltage less than 0.16 of a volt for five 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

Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
Yes
• Go to Test Step 2 => [ Test Step 2 - CHECK FOR OTHER REAR REQUEST CIRCUIT LOW DTCS ]
No
• Go to Test Step 9 => [ Test Step 9 - CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS ]
Test Step 2 - CHECK FOR OTHER REAR REQUEST CIRCUIT LOW DTCS
• With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs.
Does the scan tool also display the DTCs B1028-Rear Blower Control Request Input Circuit Low and B113D-Rear Mode Request Low as active?
Yes
• Go to Test Step 3 => [ Test Step 3 - CHECK THE REAR A/C HEATER CONTROL CONNECTOR ]
No
• Go to Test Step 6 => [ Test Step 6 - CHECK THE (C254) REAR BLEND SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT
TO GROUND ]
Test Step 3 - CHECK THE REAR A/C HEATER CONTROL CONNECTOR
• Check if the Rear A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector is unplugged or not fully seated.
• Check the Rear A/C Heater Control and C1 harness connector for pushed out, damaged, corroded pins or terminals.
Were there any problems found?
Yes
• Repair as necessary.
• 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 (C800) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO
GROUND ]
Test Step 4 - CHECK THE (C800) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
• Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
• Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.
• Disconnect the Rear A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.
• Measure the resistance between ground and the (C800) 5 Volt Supply circuit.
Is the resistance below 100k Ohms?
Yes
• Repair the (C800) 5 Volt Supply circuit for a short to ground.
• Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test
No
• Go to Test Step 5 => [ Test Step 5 - CHECK THE (C800) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN ]
Test Step 5 - CHECK THE (C800) 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
• Measure the resistance of the (C800) 5 Volt Supply circuit between the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector and the Rear A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 1.0 Ohm?
Yes
• Go to Test Step 8 => [ Test Step 8 - CHECK THE HVAC CONTROL MODULES ]
No
• Repair the (C800) 5 Volt Supply circuit for an open.
• Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test
Test Step 6 - CHECK THE (C254) REAR BLEND SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
• Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
• Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector.
• Disconnect the Rear A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.
• Measure the resistance between ground and the (C254) Rear Blend Signal circuit.
Is the resistance below 100k Ohms?
Yes
• Repair the (C254) Rear Blend Signal circuit for a short to ground.
• Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test
No
• Go to Test Step 7 => [ Test Step 7 - CHECK THE (C254) REAR BLEND SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN ]
Test Step 7 - CHECK THE (C254) REAR BLEND SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
• Measure the resistance of the (C254) Rear Blend Signal circuit between A/C Heater Control C2 harness connector and the Rear A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 1.0 Ohm?
Yes
• Go to Test Step 8 => [ Test Step 8 - CHECK THE HVAC CONTROL MODULES ]
No
• Repair the (C254) Rear Blend Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
• Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test
Test Step 8 - 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.
• Connect a jumper wire between the (C800) 5-volt Supply circuit and the (C254) Rear Blend Signal circuit in the Rear A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.
• Ignition on, engine not running.
• With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs.
Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
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 9 - 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.
