Diagnostic Test

2009 Jeep Compass Limited, ED3, FWD, Automatic CVTSECTION Diagnostic Test
  1. VERIFY DTC B1002-A/C SWITCH REQUEST INPUT CIRCUIT HIGH IS ACTIVE 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    3. Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and turn the ignition on.
    4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display active: B1002-A/C SWITCH REQUEST INPUT CIRCUIT HIGH?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

      • The condition that caused this symptom is currently not present. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also, inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals. Repair as necessary.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage of the (C105) HVAC MUX Control circuit.

      What is the voltage?

      Below 4.8 Volts 

      • Go to step  3

      4.8 to 5.2 Volts 

      • Go to step  4

      Above 5.2 Volts 

      • Go to step  6
  3. CHECK THE (C105) HVAC MUX CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Using a volt meter, measure the voltage of the (C955) HVAC MUX Return circuit in the A/C Heater Control C1 harness connector.

      Does the volt meter read above 4.5 volts?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. CHECK THE (C955) HVAC MUX RETURN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Instrument Cluster C4 harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage of the (C105) HVAC MUX Control circuit.

      Is the voltage above 1.0 volts?

      Yes 

      No

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
