Manual Temperature Control






B210A - System Voltage Low

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.

When Monitored: With the ignition switch on.

Set Condition: The A/C heater control has detected the system voltage is less than a calibrated value.






Test Step 1 - Verify the DTC is Active

Diagnose any related Powertrain DTCs before continuing.

Turn the ignition switch ON.

With a scan tool, read and record DTCs.

With the scan tool, clear DTCs.

Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then ON.

Using the scan tool, read DTCs.

Does the DTC reset?

Yes

Go to Test Step 3 => [ Test Step 3 - Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run-Start) Circuit Open ]

No

Go to Test Step 2 => [ Test Step 2 - Intermittent Condition ]

Test Step 2 - Intermittent Condition

Check for any of the follow conditions:

Poor wire to terminal connection

Corroded terminals

Backed out or loose terminals

Broken wire internal to the insulation

Dirty (partial) module ground

With the ignition on, wiggle the related wires.

Using a scan tool, read DTCs.

Does the DTC reset?

Yes

Repair the wiring as necessary.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

No

The conditions that caused this DTC to set are not active at this time. Test complete.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

Test Step 3 - Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run-Start) Circuit Open

Check the related fuses to the fused ignition switch output (Run-Start) circuit. If the fuse is found to be open repair the circuit for a short condition.

Turn the ignition OFF.

Disconnect the A/C heater control C1 harness connector.

Turn the ignition ON.

Using a 12 volt test lamp connected to ground, probe the fused ignition switch output (Run-Start) circuit in the A/C heater control C1 harness connector.

Does the test lamp illuminate brightly?

Yes

Go to Test Step 4 => [ Test Step 4 - Check the A/C Heater Control ]

No

Repair the fused ignition switch output (Run-Start) circuit for an open.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

Test Step 4 - Check the A/C Heater Control

A dirty (partial) ground can cause abnormal conditions within a system. Make sure the module has a good ground before continuing.

Turn the ignition OFF.

Reconnect the A/C heater control C1 harness connector.

While back probing, measure the voltage of the fused ignition switch output (Run-Start) circuit in the A/C heater control C1 harness connector.

Start the engine.

Using the scan tool, view battery voltage under data display in the engine category.

Compare the voltage on the scan tool to the voltage reading on the voltmeter.

Is the voltage on the scan tool equal to the voltmeter reading within +/- 0.5 volt?

Yes

Replace the A/C heater control.

Perform the HVAC Verification Test. Refer to => Non-DTC Based Diagnostics. HVAC Verification Test

No

Repair the circuits that indicated the incorrect voltage.
