Signal Missing. Permanent Fault






Signal missing. Permanent fault

Checking component and wiring
Check if there is any refrigerant in the air conditioning (A/C).

Hint: If there is refrigerant in the A/C system there is probably a fault in the A/C pressure sensor.

Check air conditioning (A/C) system for damage and leakage.
Remedy as necessary.

Other information:
- Connecting the breakout box/accessing the control module, see Connecting the breakout box, B5234T9, B5244T7 Connecting The Breakout Box.
- Air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor #2 is the signal cable, #3 is the power supply (5 V) and #1 is the signal ground.
- For resistance values, see Component specifications [1][2]Engine Control Module.
- For information about signals, see Signal specification Signal Specifications.
