Notes:

For m.y. 1997, changes that affect monitoring of
the A/C system by A/C control head -E87- were
made.

If a replacement A/C control head is not coded
after installation or if an unrecognized code was
entered, code "04142" (Audi A4 -4cyl. -USA) is
stored.
The A/C control head is no longer connected to
terminal 30 (vehicle electronics). The last input
setting (into the A/C control head) is stored
when the ignition is switched off and retained
when the ignition is switched on.
The duration of time when ignition is off is
calculated by the A/C control head. When
ignition is switched on, the previous "standing
time" is calculated by monitoring a time signal
from the instrument cluster. If more than 4
hours pass since ignition was switched off, the
actual measured values of the outside

1)This fault may be generated during Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) (no engine speed signal recognized although A/C
compressor speed detected).
2) If voltage at -E87-connector -C3- drops below 9.5 V, compressor switches off for a minimum of 25 seconds. Compressor
switches on again when voltage exceeds 10.8 V.

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

values.
