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.

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

Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM)
(function 03)


Function
Output DTM allows functional checking of A/C
control head actuated components (DTM
components). Actuators receive output signals
generated by the control head via VAG1551
Scan Tool (ST) in sequence. Function is
confirmed in accordance with specified
responses.
The following components are tested in
sequence using Output DTM:

1 - A/C Clutch -N25-

2 - Fresh Air Blower -V2-

3 - Coolant Fan -V7-

4 - Fresh Air/Recirculating Flap Two-Way Valve
-N63-1)

5 - Temperature Regulator Flap Motor -V68-

6 - Central Air Flap Motor -V70-

Notes:

During Output DTM on vehicles with Control Head (E87) Part Number 8D0 820 043 D, A/C Compressor Clutch (N25) DTC
"01270, mechanical malfunction SP" may be stored even though no malfunction is present. Corrective action: When
output DTM is complete, check DTC memory. If above DTC is present, erase DTC memory.
When starting Output DTM, temperature and air distribution flap flap motors move to pre-determined positions in
preparation for individual tests: Temperature Regulator Flap Motor V68: moves to "heat" position. Central Air Flap Motor -
V70- moves to "floor & defroster outlet" position. Footwell Defroster Flap Motor V85 moves to "defrost" position.
Output DTM can be repeated several times, if necessary.
During Output DTM, vehicle must not be moved and engine speed must be less than 3000 rpm.
During Output DTM, A/C system control is switched off and all segments in both A/C control head displays are actuated.
Interior temperature sensor fan -V42- is activated via an A/C control head:
with one display after activation of the coolant fan.
with two displays after activation of air flow flap motor.
Outside air temperature display -G106- is activated via an A/C control head
with one display after activation of air flow flap motor.
with two displays after activation of idle regulation.

Notes:

For m.y. 1996, because A/C engine coolant
temperature sensor G110 is not installed on
USA/CDN models, during basic setting, DTC
"00799 engine coolant temperature sensor
G110" is stored and must be erased.
For m.y. 1997 A/C engine coolant temperature
(ECT) sensor -G110- is deleted, and will no
longer load a DTC when checking DTC memory
after ending basic setting.

- Check DTC memory page 01
-18
.

- Erase DTC memory (function 05) and end
output (function 06) page 01
