Note On Intermittents

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1992 Cadillac Fleetwood and 1992 Cadillac DeVille. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A BCM Code F10 will be stored in memory whenever ambient temperature drops to less than -29°F (-34°C). This code should be ignored if this cause is suspected.

If intermittent Code F10 is being set, manipulate related wiring while observing BCM data parameter P.2.6. If failure is induced, reading will jump from its normal value to a reading outside range of -29°F to 189°F (-34°C to 87°C).

If value displayed by parameter P.2.6 is not reasonably close to actual temperature of air at sensor, check for poor terminal contact or replace sensor. Temperature of air at sensor can be influenced by a hot radiator if sufficient air is not passing by sensor.
