DTC P1460: - Wide Open Throttle A/C Cutout Circuit

DTC P1460: - WIDE OPEN THROTTLE A/C CUTOUT CIRCUIT

Description:  Monitors the A/CCR circuit output from the powertrain control module (PCM). The test fails when the PCM grounds the A/CCR circuit, excessive current draw is detected on the A/CCR circuit; or, with the A/CCR circuit not grounded by the PCM, voltage is not detected on the A/CCR circuit (the PCM expects to detect VPWR voltage coming through the A/CCR relay coil to the A/CCR circuit).
Possible Causes: 
  • Open or short A/CCR circuit
  • Damaged A/CCR relay
  • Open VPWR circuit to the A/CCR relay
Diagnostic Aids:  The A/CCR control circuit can be monitored using the WACF and WAC PID.
When the WACF PID reads YES, a concern is present.
An open circuit or short to ground can only be detected when the PCM is not grounding the circuit.
A short to voltage can only be detected when the PCM is grounding the circuit.
During the key ON engine OFF (KOEO) and the key OFF engine running (KOER) self-test, the WAC circuit is cycled on and off.
Verify the A/C and the defrost were off during KOEO and KOER self-test (Check the A/CCS PID to verify).
If the vehicle is not equipped with A/C, ignore DTC P1460.
