Yes | CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new FCIM. Refer to the appropriate section in Group 415 for the procedure. | |

No | The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues. | |
Air Discharge Temperature Sensor Circuit Faults
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 55 for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The 2 air discharge temperature sensors contain a thermistor. The sensor varies its resistance with the temperature. As the temperature rises, the resistance falls. As the temperature falls, the resistance rises. REFER to: Climate Control System - Vehicles With: Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) - System Operation and Component Description (412-00 Climate Control System - General Information, Description and Operation).
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
B10B5:11 | Left Panel Air Discharge Temperature: Circuit Short To Ground | This DTC sets when the FCIM senses erratic voltages from the left panel air discharge temperature sensor. |
B10B5:15 Left Panel Air Discharge Temperature: Circuit Short To Battery or Open | This DTC sets when the FCIM senses erratic voltages from the left panel air discharge temperature sensor. | |
B10B6:11 | Left Floor Air Discharge Temperature: Circuit Short To Ground | This DTC sets when the FCIM senses erratic voltages from the left floor air discharge temperature sensor. |
B10B6:15 Left Floor Air Discharge Temperature: Circuit Short To Battery or Open | This DTC sets when the FCIM senses erratic voltages from the left floor air discharge temperature sensor. |
