A3 Air Con not working - need help with Diag Codes
I have a A3 1.8 Auto AGN 1997 which the previous owner advised the air con is not working.
This is correct and its blowing warm air. Could someone help me understand what the Diag Codes are saying. I have run the On Board Diag and get the following Channel 52 Air Con switch is off: Get following segments lit. a1 Slippage or blockage, A/C Refrigerant High Pressure Switch, 120x off - Seems to be the cause ? b1 Engine Speed (RPM) less than 200 - 500 c1 Engine Speed (RPM) greater than 6000 - rather strange when car is idling at less than 1000 rpm d1 Engine Speed (RPM) greater than 6000 - rather strange when car is idling at less than 1000 rpm b2 low voltage - What's at LOW VOLTAGE ? c2 Kick-down switch, compressor off for 12secs max. g1 System function OK (g1+g2+g3 must illuminate simultaneously to indicate system is OK) Turn air con switch on. Get following segments lit. a1 Slippage or blockage, A/C Refrigerant High Pressure Switch, 120x off - Seems to be the cause ? b1 Engine Speed (RPM) less than 200 - 500 d1 Engine Speed (RPM) greater than 6000 - rather strange when car is idling at less than 1000 rpm e1 System function OK g1 System function OK (g1+g2+g3 must illuminate simultaneously to indicate system is OK) Channel 53 Air Con switch is off: Get following segments lit. a1 Fan for interior temperature sensor b1 Fresh air/recirculation flap closed (recirculation mode) c1 Heater valve closed d1 Bi-directional wiring harness e1 A/C compressor ON - Rather starnge when we know its off f1 coolant fan first speed ON b2 Air flow flap open c2 Air flow flap closed b3 Central flap in "instrument panel outlet" position c3 Central flap in "footwell outlet/defrost" position Turn air con switch on.
