1)F118 and F23 are integrated into the same housing.
Note:
If an open A/C Refrigerant High Pressure Switch -F118- was recognized 30 times during a driving period (e.g. because of a
loose contact), the compressor is switched off. Compressor can be switched on again by pressing "compressor on" button or
by switching ignition off and on. If this fault occurs over several driving periods, compressor cannot be switched on again until
DTC memory is erased.

1)During m.y. 1996, Nippondenso type A/C compressors were installed as a running change. These compressors are not
equipped with A/C speed sensor G111. DTC at A/C Clutch -N25- are only detected only on compressors equipped with A/C
Compressor speed sensor G111.
2)Sender G111 produces 4 pulses for each compressor revolution.
3)A/C Clutch is switched on for a few seconds after engine starts.

3) If speed difference is 30 % to 60 %, A/C Clutch is switched on again by -E87- for not more than 9 times during a driving
period (ignition off). If speed difference is greater than 60 %, A/C Clutch remains off until engine is started again.

4) A/C compressor speed sensor G111 is not installed on Nippondenso compressors. If A/C control head -E87- is not coded
correctly according to compressor type, A/C Clutch -N25- will only engage briefly and shut off due to no speed signal input.
