B100A






B100A-RECIRCULATION SWITCH REQUEST INPUT CIRCUIT LOW (ATC)

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Diagrams/Electrical.

Theory of Operation

The switch input changes when the switch is pushed down. A stored DTC B100A indicates that the Recirculation mode switch was stuck in a pushed position for more than 10 minutes, but has since returned to its normal state. An active DTC B100A indicates that the Recirculation mode switch is stuck in a pushed position. An active DTC B100A will prevent proper Recirculation mode switch and status indicator function.

- When Monitored:

With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:

If the Recirculation mode switch stays in a pushed position for more than 10 minutes.
