### Circuit Description

The passenger temperature control assembly receives voltage signals from the HVAC programmer. The signal voltage will vary from 5 volts (open circuit) to 0 volts (short circuit).

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

• | The ignition is ON.

• | The circuit is open or shorted.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Code B1036 is set.

### Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• | Using a Scan Tool .

• | A history DTC will clear when 50 consecutive ignition cycles have occurred without a malfunction.

• | HVAC battery voltage is interrupted.

Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the passenger temperature control assembly.
3. Refer to Testing for Continuity in Wiring Systems. Use a J 39200 digital multimeter (DMM) in order to measure the resistance between terminal A and terminal B of the pigtail connector on the passenger temperature control assembly while turning the control knob to the following settings:

• | FULL COLD

• | MID RANGE

• | FULL HOT

Do the resistances measure approximately within the specified ranges?

• | 4.8-5.0 Kohms in FULL COLD

• | 2.5-2.7 Kohms in MID RANGE

• | 96.0-104.0 Kohms in FULL HOT
