HCC 001873.04 – Rear Hitch Position Sensor Circuit Voltage Low
HCC 001873.04 (HCC 1873.04)
Code: 001873.04
Shortcode: 1873.04
Description:
This error code is triggered when the rear hitch position sensor voltage is out of range low, specifically below 0.25 volts. This can be caused by a defective sensor, poor wiring, or an issue within the control unit.
Reaction:
The HCC function is degraded when this error code is active.
Recommendations:
- Check Wiring and Connections:
- Inspect the wiring and connectors associated with the rear hitch position sensor for any damage, loose connections, or corrosion.
- Test the Sensor:
- Measure the sensor’s output voltage to ensure it is within the specified range.
- Calibrate the Sensor:
- Perform a proper calibration of the rear hitch position sensor according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Replace Faulty Components:
- Replace the sensor or any faulty wiring if necessary.
- Consult Technical Support:
- If the problem continues, contact technical support for further diagnostics and troubleshooting.
Note:
Regular inspections and calibrations are essential to maintaining the proper operation of the rear hitch position sensor and preventing low voltage issues.
