Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The infrared module is supplied with 10.5 volts from the rear audio/HVAC module when the rear audio system is active. The infrared module is permanently grounded at G300.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Ignition ON.
* Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The DTC will set when the rear audio/HVAC module detects a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance in the infrared module voltage signal circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The rear audio/HVAC module sets the DTC and the infrared module will be disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the infrared module.
2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5.0 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 12 and ground.

• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, rear audio ON, test for 10.0-11.0 volts between the supply voltage circuit terminal 4 and ground.

• If less than the specified range, test the voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear audio/HVAC module.
• If greater than the specified range, test the voltage supply circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear audio/HVAC module.

4. If all circuits test normal, replace the infrared module.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
