Possible Deviation From Specified Value During The Pressure Test (11 Of 11)

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Possible Deviation from Specified Value during the Pressure Test
  • The required cooling output is not attained in the heater and A/C unit evaporator (and in the evaporator for battery cooling).
  • The high pressure does not increase or only increases slightly above pressure with engine stopped.
  • The low pressure does not drop or drops only slightly.
Possible causes for the deviation from specified value and their solutions
  • No activation of the A/C compressor. Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the"Guided Fault Finding"  function.
  • If equipped, the refrigerant shut-off valve 1 is faulty (closed)
-- Check the activation and function of the A/C compressor (and the refrigerant shut-off valve 1, the refrigerant shut-off valve 2). Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the"Guided Fault Finding"  function of the A/C compressor and the battery regulation. If no malfunction can be determined replace the expansion valve on the evaporator in the heater and A/C unit. Refer to Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific Service Information).
  • Constriction or obstruction in refrigerant circuit (for example, inside the refrigerant line between the service connection "low pressure side" and the A/C compressor).
-- If there is a blockage clean the refrigerant circuit (flush with refrigerant R1234yf). Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, CLEANING . Replace the expansion valve for the evaporator in the A/C unit (and for the evaporator for battery cooling) as well as the desiccant bag/dryer cartridge (or receiver/receiver/dryer). Refer to COMPONENTS, REPLACING and Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific Service Information).-- If the hose or pipe is kinked or constricted, replace this component. Refer to Refrigerant Circuit (vehicle-specific Service Information).
  • A/C compressor faulty.
-- Replace the A/C compressor. Refer to COMPONENTS, REPLACING and A/C Compressor (vehicle-specific Service Information).
Final Procedures
-- Charge the refrigerant circuit. Refer to REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT, CHARGING .-- Repeat the test. Refer to ELECTRICALLY-DRIVEN A/C COMPRESSOR, CHECKING PRESSURE WITH A/C SYSTEM SWITCHED ON .
