To exit the self-test and clear all DTCs, press the front defrost button. All RCC module DTCs will be cleared.
Always exit the self-test before powering the system down (system turned off).
Intermittent DTCs will be deleted after 80 ignition switch ON cycles after the intermittent condition occurs.

A/C Performance Check
1. Place the vehicle in the shade with the hood OPEN and windows DOWN in an enclosed shop area to minimize wind gust and sun load effects. Make sure the right front footwell is
free of obstruction.
2. If equipped with manual climate control, with the engine running at idle, select MAX A/C (RECIRC) and set the temperature control to full COOL with the blower speed set to
MEDIUM (Position 2).
3. If equipped with EATC, with the engine running at idle, select A/C and RECIRC and set the temperature to the lowest setting (60°F) with the blower manually set to MEDIUM blower
speed (4 bars displayed).
4. Measure the ambient temperature and humidity adjacent to the passenger side mirror, at approximately evaporator core height.
5. With all vents opened, place a thermometer in the left center register and allow the temperature to stabilize for 6 to 8 minutes.
6. Record 5 vent temperature readings at the center register within 5 minutes.
7. Calculate the Average Center Vent Temperature.
1. Add the 5 recorded vent temperature readings to obtain the sum.
2. Divide the sum of the vent temperature readings by 5 to obtain the Average Center Vent Temperature.
