Notes:  
 
A/C pressure switch -F129- contains 2 switching elements. Via terminals 1 & 2, the compressor is shut off due to low or 
excess refrigerant system pressure (switch open). Via terminals 3 & 4, the second speed coolant fan is switched on 
(switch closed). 
 When -F129- terminals 1 & 2 open, excess refrigerant pressure is initially recognized by A/C control head -E87- and a 
DTC is stored. If the measured outside temperature is between 0  C & 50  C (32  F & 122  F) and -F129- terminals 1 & 
2 remain open for longer than 30 seconds, -E87- switches over from excess pressure to low pressure (Low pressure 
switch function)   page 01

1) If A/C control head -E87- is unable to determine the duration of time when ignition is off ("standing time"), DTC 01206 
"signal for time span ignition off" is loaded into memory. The A/C control head will then default to a standing time greater than 
4 hours. The actual measured values of the outside temperature sensor are then used as instantaneous outside and engine 
temperature inputs for A/C system control. When the "heating" mode is selected under these conditions, the fresh air blower -
V2- has a delayed start (even when the actual standing time is less than 4 hours and the engine is warm)   page 01

Read measuring value block. The outside air temperature display -G106- may also indicate incorrect outside temperature 
values.  
2) -V71- operates the air flow flap as well as the fresh/recirculated air flap.
