Condition
Some customers may comment that the air conditioning (A/C) blows warm air and/or the A/C compressor does not engage.
Upon investigation, the technician may find the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes set:
^
B101D : ECU Hardware Performance Internal Electronic Failure
^
U0073 : Control Module Communication Bus Off
The A/C compressor will not engage if these codes are set.
Cause
This condition may occur when the underhood battery power is removed from the ACCM. The ACCM software calibration may not retain the current
values on power-up.
Correction
Important:
Verify that the 12-volt battery has a battery charge of 12 to 16 volts. The battery must be able to maintain a charge during programming. Only use
approved Midtronics 165-PCS charger or equivalent to maintain proper battery voltage during programming. The J2534 MDI will reprogram the
modules in less time than the Tech 2(R) scan tool. Clear all DTC codes after programming.
An updated Air Conditioning Compressor Module (ACCM) Calibration is now available to address these concerns. Reprogram the ACCM with the
updated software calibration files using the TIS2WEB Service Programming System (SPS) application.
