10000 other folks have successfully run the test-----read the instructions again and do the test again. Try to have one person read the instructions to you while you push the buttons.

This would be a good test or bonding exercise for you and your girlfriend!!

Had the same problem, try having the hi and low temps opposite of what the directions tell you to. It worked with me that way

READING ACTUAL VALUES:--------AC must be running to retrieve actual values!!
Ignition---position 1
Press the auto button and set temps to 72F or equivalent C
Press the Rest button for 5 seconds or more
The left side of the display will show number"1" and a value for In car Temp
Then press Auto again for the next number and corresponding value
Keep pressing and writing down the numbers and values till "12"
To end the process press Rest----you are half way done!!


READING FAULT DIAGNOSIS:

Ignition in position 1
Set Left Temp to HI
Set Right Temp to LO
Within twenty seconds simultaneously press the rest and EC for more than 5 seconds
The screen will flash "dl R"
Now press the right Auto button one at a time until all faults are displayed and recorded
All faults must be read out before they can be cleared.
To clear all faults press both auto buttons for more that 2 seconds and a "d" will be displayed on the left and "FF" is displayed on the right

Now go back and reset you cabin temps---ignition off------end of test

Good Luck and after clearing the faults there will be no red light on the EC button, but will return if you do not fix what is faulty.

In your case that will be late summer, Oh well

MY 2001 E430. I get one E61 416 error code. Does that mean Coolant circulation pump gone bad. I do hear whising sound coming from center vent.

1416 fault refers to the heater inline circulation pump. If you look at your manual and the AC controls you will see a button to push when you want to circulate warm heater water when the engine is off.

With a faulty pump you will need to keep the engine running to circulate the hot heater water-----

I'll be brief----you have a leak and low on refrig(1241)---thats why the compressor stopped(EC light)-------find the leak, fix the leak,clear the faults---enjoy your stay in Veges--if you are not good at leaks---find an AC shop that does!!
