- indicates to operating and display unit -E87 that the refrigerant circuit pressure is OK and the compressor
can be switched on (via magnetic clutch -N25).
- switches radiator fan to 2nd speed if pressure increases.
◆ High-pressure sensor -G65 will gradually replace air conditioner pressure switch -F129 (as of model year
1999, initially vehicles with 1.6 l engines).
◆ If code 1 "pressure switch -F129 open" is displayed in measured value block 1 as a compressor shutoff
criterion:
- Use current flow diagram to check the wiring to -G65 for a loose contact.
- Use current flow diagram to check wiring between control unit -J293 and -E87 for loose contact.
- Check the actuation of the radiator fan -V7 speed 1 (=>Final control diagnosis, Page 18 ).
- Check signal from high-pressure sensor -G65 =>Page 85 .
