Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
      NOTE:

      If the P2100 is intermittent, it is possible that the controller is overheating in extreme hot temperatures and this is considered a normal protection operation. No repair is necessary.

      NOTE:

      Low battery voltage can also cause excessive current draw, in very hot and very cold ambient temperatures. Make sure the battery can pass a load test before continuing.

    2. With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.
    3. Look closely at the temperatures at which this DTC set.

      Is the DTC Active at this time?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2.
