REAR FAN POT OPEN (ATC)





For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
If the Rear Fan Sense input A/D counts exceed 253 (4.9 volts).





Diagnostic Test

1. ACTIVE HVAC DTC(S) PRESENT
Turn the ignition on.
Using the scan tool, clear all HVAC DTC's.
Using the A/C Heater Control, operate the Rear Fan.
With the scan tool, check for DTCs.
Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

Yes

- Go To2

No

- The condition that caused this symptom is currently not present. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also, inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.
