B1034






B1034-Infrared Temperature Sensor Input Circuit Low






For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.

When Monitored: With the ignition on.

Set Condition: The Infrared Temperature Sensor pulse width modulated (PWM) signal to the A/C Heater Control equals 0.0 volts for a continuous period of 120 seconds. If the A/C Heater Control detects a valid PWM signal, the DTC will change from active to stored and will stay stored for 100 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 - CHECK IF DTC IS ACTIVE

Ignition on, engine not running.

With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs after a minimum of 120 seconds.

Is this DTC active?

Yes

Go to Test Step 2 => [ Test Step 2 - CHECK THE (F921) FUSED RUN RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR
AN OPEN ]

No

Go to Test Step 6 => [ Test Step 6 - CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS ]

Test Step 2 - CHECK THE (F921) FUSED RUN RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN







Turn the ignition off to the lock position.

Disconnect the Infrared Sensor harness connector.

Ignition on, engine not running.

With a test light connected to ground, check the (F921) Fused Run Relay Output circuit.

The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes

Go to Test Step 3 => [ Test Step 3 - CHECK THE (C83) INFRARED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR
A SHORT TO GROUND ]

No

Repair the (F921) Fused Run Relay Output circuit for an open.

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

Test Step 3 - CHECK THE (C83) INFRARED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND







Turn the ignition off to the lock position.

Disconnect the A/C Heater Control harness connector.

Measure the resistance between ground and the (C83) Infrared Sensor Signal circuit.

Is the resistance below 100k Ohms?

Yes

Repair the (C83) Infrared Sensor 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 4 => [ Test Step 4 - CHECK THE (C83) INFRARED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR
AN OPEN ]


Test Step 4 - CHECK THE (C83) INFRARED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN







Measure the resistance of the (C83) Infrared Sensor Signal circuit between the A/C Heater Control harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100k Ohms?

Yes

Repair the (C83) Infrared Sensor Signal circuit for an open.

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 INFRARED SENSOR ]

Test Step 5 - CHECK THE INFRARED SENSOR

Replace the Infrared Sensor.

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

Did the DTC reset performing the HVAC Verification Test?

Yes

Replace and program the A/C Heater Control.

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

No

Test complete.

Test Step 6 - CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS

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

Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.

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.

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

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.
