- Open circuit or short in wiring be‐
tween dash panel insert and -E87.

ment.
Checksignal from dash panel insert
(=> Reading measured value block,
Page 31 ).
Notes:
◆ The refrigerant temperature is calculated by the dash panel insert and transferred to the operating and
display unit -E87. If the refrigerant temperature exceeds 118 °C, the dash panel insert switches the output
to earth and -E87 switches off the air-conditioner magnetic clutch -N25.
◆ The fault "signal for refrigerant temperature" is only detected by the operating and display units with one
display.
