Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module converts 12 V direct current (DC) battery voltage to 110 V at 60 Hertz (Hz) alternating current (AC) in
order to operate AC powered devices. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module provides up to 150 watts of power. The accessory DC/AC power
inverter module is connected to a chassis ground circuit and receives fuse protected battery voltage.
The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC has an internal switch, that detects when an AC powered device is plugged into the receptacle. When the
ignition is ON and an AC powered device is plugged into the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, the normally open switch in the accessory power
receptacle - 110 V AC, closes. When the accessory DC/AC power inverter module detects the voltage from the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC
switch, the inverter module begins to supply 110 V AC to the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC after a 1.5 second delay.
