B113B MERCURY Description
The Rear Audio and Temperature Control (RATC) Module receives voltage and ground through the circuit. The RATC module receives input from the rear auxiliary audio controls through the circuit.

The RATC module sets the OBDII code when a short to ground is detected on the circuitry between the RATC module and the rear auxiliary audio switch.
