B10B2-00-A/C COOL DOWN TEST PERFORMANCE

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.


Theory of Operation

The A/C Heater Controller has software to enable it to perform an A/C Cool Down Test by a command using a scan tool. This test checks for evaporator temperature drop over a predetermined time. If the test fails, this DTC will set. However, certain test conditions are required to perform this test. Failure to run this test within those parameters can result in failure of the test.



Possible Causes

A/C SYSTEM WORKING IMPROPERLY

Always perform the HVAC Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/HVAC - Standard Procedure) .
