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.
