B1016

B1016-REAR DEFROST SWITCH REQUEST INPUT CIRCUIT LOW (SINGLE-ZONE)

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information Electrical Diagrams.

Theory of Operation

The Rear Defrost mode switch input changes when the switch is pushed down. A stored DTC B1016 indicates that the Rear Defrost mode switch was stuck in a pushed position for more than two minutes, but has since returned to its normal state. An active DTC B1016 indicates that the Rear Defrost mode switch is stuck in a pushed position. An active DTC B1016 will also prevent proper Rear Defrost mode switch and status indicator function as evidenced by not being able to turn the Rear Defrost status indicator either on if off or off if on.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
If the Rear Defrost mode switch stays in a pushed position for more than two minutes. This DTC has a maturing time of two minutes and a de-maturing time of two seconds. If the DTCs status changes from active to stored it will stay in memory for 100 ignition cycles.





1. INSPECT THE A/C HEATER CONTROL FOR DAMAGE

- Replace the A/C Heater Control.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 2

2. INSPECT FOR OBJECT OR SUBSTANCE CAUSING THE REAR DEFROST MODE SWITCH TO STAY OR STICK IN A PUSHED POSITION
1. Inspect the A/C Heater Control for anything that would cause the Rear Defrost mode switch to stay or stick in a pushed position.

Is anything present that would cause the Rear Defrost mode switch to stay or stick in a pushed position?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 3

3. CHECK FOR NORMAL REAR DEFROST MODE SWITCH AND STATUS INDICATOR FUNCTION
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press the Rear Defrost mode switch on and off several times while observing the status indicator.

Does the Rear Defrost status indicator turn on and off with respect to the switch position?

Yes

- Go To 4

No

- Replace the A/C Heater Control.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

4. VERIFY THAT DTC B1016-REAR DEFROST SWITCH REQUEST INPUT CIRCUIT LOW IS STILL ACTIVE
1. With the scan tool, erase HVAC DTCs.
2. Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and then turn the ignition on. Wait two minutes before proceeding.
3. With the scan tool, read HVAC DTCs.

Does the scan tool display active: B1016-REAR DEFROST SWITCH REQUEST INPUT CIRCUIT LOW?

Yes

- Replace the A/C Heater Control.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

No

- Testing complete. The conditions that originally set this DTC are no longer present.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
