DTC Descriptors
DTC B048D 01
- Auxiliary Heater Temperature Command Circuit Short to Battery
DTC B048D 06
- Auxiliary Heater Temperature Command Circuit Low Voltage/Open
DTC B048E 00
- Auxiliary Heater System Malfunction
Circuit/System Description
The HVAC control module sends a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the electrical auxiliary heater, if the interior temperature is too low
and additional heat is requested. The request signal from the HVAC control module, battery positive, ignition and ground circuits enable the
electrical auxiliary heater to operate. Through the signal circuit the electrical auxiliary heater sends via a PWM signal the current status to the
HVAC control module.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition ON.
* The HVAC control module is ON.
* The electrical auxiliary heater is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B048D 01
The voltage at the HVAC control module output to the electrical auxiliary heater is always high.
B048D 06
The voltage at the HVAC control module output to the electrical auxiliary heater is always low or floating.
B048E 00
The feedback signal of the electrical auxiliary heater does not correspond with the requested PWM signal.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The electrical auxiliary heater is inoperative.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The feedback signal of the electrical auxiliary heater corresponds with the requested PWM signal.
