A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280-, CHECKING SWITCH-ON SIGNAL: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Audi S6, 2018 Audi A6 Quattro, 2018 Audi A6, 2017 Audi S6, and 2017 Audi A6 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

The following describes the test for an A/C compressor manufactured by "Denso" of type "6 SEU 14" without A/C Clutch -N25-. The test is to be performed in the same way for vehicles with a different compressor type or a different manufacturer.

However, for an A/C compressor with an A/C Clutch -N25-, a 3-pin connector may be installed. Refer to the Appropriate Wiring Diagram.

The following describes checking a vehicle with a 6 cylinder TDI engine; the procedure can vary on vehicles with a different engine (4-, 6- or 8-cylinder engine).

Not installed on an electrically-driven A/C compressor.

Certain malfunctions at the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- (for example, a stuck valve or a short circuit in the coil) can lead to a complaint regarding the A/C compressor (A/C system is not cooling, the evaporator ices over, etc.). If the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- (and not the A/C compressor itself) is the cause, the A/C compressor can be serviced by replacing the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280-.

The A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- is not available as a replacement part for all A/C compressors. If the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- is not available as an individual A/C compressor part (different versions), then the entire A/C compressor must be replaced if there is a complaint. Refer to the Parts information.

For an A/C compressor with an A/C Clutch -N25-, the connector terminals may need to be removed from the connector housing on the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- to replace the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280-.
