Handling ESD Sensitive Parts Notice

Circuit Description

The HVAC control assembly sends input data through circuit 1880 to the HVAC programmer. The HVAC programmer uses this data to control the actuators on the HVAC module assembly.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The ignition is on.
    • A circuit is open or shorted.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Code 035 is set.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • Using a Scan Tool .
    • A history DTC will clear when 40 consecutive ignition cycles have occurred without a malfunction.
    • HVAC programmer battery voltage is interrupted.

Test Description

  1. Determines if the programmer is the fault or a poor connection exists.
