– Determine and eliminate cause, for example by checking air
conditioner DTC memory.
– Observe test conditions.
– Check the A/C clutch -N25- voltage supply. If it is OK, repair
the A/C clutch.
– Check the actuation of the A/C compressor regulator valve -
N280- using Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing & Information System
-VAS5051B- (“OBD“ or “Guided Fault Finding for the A/C Sys‐
tem“) and ⇒ Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning; Rep.
Gr. 87 ; Diagnosis and Testing (vehicle-specific repair man‐
ual).
Note
♦
If the low pressure switch was removed to connect the service
station, bridge the electrical connections in the corresponding
connector for the pressure measurement.
♦
A/C compressor is driven by the engine via A/C Clutch -N25- .
♦
The A/C compressor regulator valve -N280- is actuated by the
Front A/C display control head -E87- or the Climatronic control
module -J255- . Check using Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing & In‐
formation System -VAS5051B- (“OBD“ or “Guided Fault Find‐
ing for the A/C System“) and ⇒ Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning; Rep. Gr. 87 ; Diagnosis and Testing (vehicle-
specific repair manual).

♦ Checking pressures for vehicles with restrictor and accumu‐
lator (with internally regulated compressor), refer to
⇒ “4.4.4 Checking Pressures For Vehicles With Restrictor and
Accumulator - Internally Regulated Compressor“, page 159 .
♦ Checking pressures on vehicles with expansion valve and fluid
reservoir (with internally regulated compressor), refer to
⇒ “4.4.6 Checking Pressures On Vehicles With Expansion
Valve and Fluid Reservoir - Internally Regulated Compressor“,
page 164 .
♦ Checking pressures for vehicles with restrictor, reservoir and
A/C compressor regulator valve -N280- (externally regulated
A/C compressor), refer to
⇒ “4.4.8 Checking Pressures On Vehicles with Restrictor,
Reservoir and A/C Compressor Regulator Valve - Externally
Regulated A/C Compressor“, page 171 .
♦ Checking pressures on vehicles with restrictor, accumulator
and A/C compressor regulator valve -N280- (externally regu‐
lated compressor), refer to
⇒ “4.4.10 Checking Pressures On Vehicles with Restrictor,
Accumulator and A/C Compressor Regulator Valve - Exter‐
nally Regulated Compressor“, page 178 .
