Checking Air Conditioning (A/C) System

Faulty signal. Permanent fault

Checking component and wiring




- Ignition on
- Activate air conditioning (A/C) relay
Check that the magnetic clutch is activated, a noise from the magnetic clutch should be clearly heard.









Was the magnetic clutch activated?

Yes - Checking component

No - Checking cables and relay

-------------------------------------------------

Checking component
Try a new air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor.
If the fault is not in the air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor, check the compressor and magnetic clutch.

Other information:
- For information about signals, see Signal specification Signal Specifications.










Continue - Verification

-------------------------------------------------

Checking cables and relay
Check cable between air conditioning (A/C) system relay base #3 and magnetic clutch for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault

Hint: With ignition on and the cable connected between 1 and 3 in the A/C relay base the magnetic clutch should be activated.

Other information:
- Air conditioning (A/C) relay base #1 is supplied with power from the system relay via fuse 11B/16
- The air conditioning (A/C) relay base #3 is connected to the magnetic clutch
- For information about signals, see Signal specification Signal Specifications.

Verification

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off.
- Reinstall connectors, components etc.
- Start the engine.
- Air conditioning (A/C) switch on
- Start the blower fan
Check that the pressure increases in the air conditioning (A/C) system when the air conditioning (A/C) compressor engages.
Also check if cold air blows into the passenger compartment when at the coolest setting.

Note! The air conditioning (A/C) pressure is given in volts for values see Component specifications Specifications.









Does the pressure in air conditioning (A/C) system change?

Yes - VERIFIED

No - VERIFICATION FAILED

------------------------

VERIFIED - FAULT FOUND

FAULT-TRACING FAILED - Fault-tracing information

Fault-tracing information




Information

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - Exit fault-tracing

No - Attempt New Test
