LEFT RETAINING PLATE WITH Footwell Door Motor -V261-, REMOVING AND INSTALLING: Installing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi SQ5, 2017 Audi Q5, 2016 Audi SQ5, 2016 Audi Q5, and 2015 Audi SQ5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Installation is carried out in the reverse order while observing the following.

-- Lightly coat the curved washer guides as well as the pins at the door levers with grease (for example, Lubricant G 000 150).

-- Make sure the levers, curved washers and retaining plate connecting rods -A- are assembled correctly. Refer to LEFT RETAINING PLATE WITH Footwell Door Motor -V261-, DISASSEMBLING AND ASSEMBLING .

-- When installing the retaining plate -A-, correctly insert the pins for the retaining plate -B- and the curved washer -C- into the A/C unit mounts.

-- Mount the wiring harness -D- into the mounting points on the retaining plate -E-.

-- Check the wiring harness routing -D- so that it cannot come in contact with any moving parts (for example, levers).

-- Install the removed parts in the opposite order.

-- Turn on the ignition.

-- Perform a basic setting and the output diagnostic test mode for the A/C system using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding " function.

NOTE:

On this vehicle, the actuators are equipped with electronics. During the basic setting, a new actuator learns its position on the A/C unit and can then be activated by the Climatronic Control Module -J255- A/C display and control head (currently all actuators are identical) using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding " function.

During the basic setting, the actuators are assigned and adapted corresponding to the switching sequence of the wiring. If this sequence does not conform the specification, the adjustment motors will adapt incorrectly and the door control will be wrong. Refer to MAIN WIRING DIAGRAM FOR A/C SYSTEM ACTUATORS (A/C system actuators block diagram).

-- Check the DTC memory for the Climatronic Control Module -J255- A/C display and control head and erase any displayed malfunctions, if necessary using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding " function.
