Thanks Stewart!

Got this code last June 2016 when my everest 2.2 is still at 700kms old. Dealer only reset the PCM and didn't comeback. Running 13,000kms odo at the moment.

Got my rig's PCM updated to latest calibration. They call it TSB 16-2063 though.

Idle overall driving got more refined.
A/C clutch engagement is smoother as well.
No more hunting idle at AC on and engine is cold.

Thank you Stewart!
