Control Panel Fault Code Diagnosis

Condition(s):

NOTE: Reference fault code #23*: In ambient temperatures below 0°C, this code may be logged because the low ambient causes a temporary low gas pressure.

NOTE: Where the ambient temperature rises above 40°C, with the engine close to overheating, electrical feed to the compressor clutch may be cut and code #23 registered.

0 Normal operation no fault codes present
Possible Source(s):

- None

Action(s) to take:
- Wait 30 seconds for system self-check.

11 Motorized in-car aspirator malfunction
Possible Source(s):

- Harness / connector fault

Action(s) to take:
- Panel fault codes are not stored for motorized in-car aspirator motor failure.

12 Ambient temperature sensor malfunction
Possible Source(s):

- Harness / connector fault
- Sensor open / short circuit

Action(s) to take:
- After rectification, disconnect the vehicle battery for 10 seconds to reset the system.
