B1139







B1139 - CABIN HEATER 3 CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH





For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on and the PTC No. 3 Relay command on.

- Set Condition:
The ECM detects that the (K363) PTC No. 3 Relay Control circuit voltage is shorted to voltage for 1.0 second.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Diagnostic Test

1. DTC IS ACTIVE
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, Clear DTCs in the Engine Control Module (ECM).
With the scan tool, actuate the PTC No. 3 Relay.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.Intermittent Condition

2. PTC NO. 3 RELAY
Turn the ignition off.
Install a substitute PTC No. 3 Relay in place of the vehicle's PTC No. 3 Relay.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, Clear DTCs.
With the scan tool, actuate the PTC No. 3 Relay.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

- Go to 3

No

- Replace the PTC No. 3 Relay.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

3. (K363) PTC NO. 3 RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE




Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
Remove the ASD Relay from the PDC.
Connect a jumper wire between cavity 30 and cavity 87 of the ASD Relay Connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (K363) PTC No. 3 Relay Control circuit in the PTC No. 3 Relay connector.
Is there any voltage present?

Yes

- Repair the (K363) PTC No. 3 Relay Control circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

No

- Go to 4

4. (K363) PTC NO. 3 RELAY CONTROL OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE




Turn the ignition off.
Remove the jumper wire and install the ASD relay.
Measure the resistance of the (K363) PTC No. 3 Relay Control circuit between the PTC No. 3 Relay connector and the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 5

No

- Repair the (K363) PTC No. 3 Relay Control circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

5. ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the PTC No. 3 Relay and the Engine Control Module (ECM).
Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
Search for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

No

- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM).
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests
