AC

Hi everyone, I need some help. Maybe someone has experienced a similar problem. I recently replaced a pipe in my car’s AC system that carries freon. After refilling the system, the air conditioner only blows cold air when the car is running fast or for a longer period. When I stop, it stops blowing cold air.



I checked the system and noticed two sensors showing abnormal readings:


  • B12/2 (temperature and pressure sensor): 9 bar and -99°C
  • N70b1 (cabin air temperature sensor): +97°C




I also noticed that when I press the AC button, the radiator fan does not turn on. However, if the engine gets hot, the fan works.



Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

What year is your car? Makes difference with the B12/2 sensor, post -05 cars do not use that temp reading, hence the -99°C reading.

What the above means is... you need a scanner that shows you trusted data. That's unlike what you have now.

Most scanners have limited car coverage... No problem!!

-- Use what you can trust to fix your issue regardless of scanner limitations
-- Dont let scanner stop you!!

Next scanner will have something else wrong with it too...


> CAR A/C TROUBLESHOOTING:
  1. Use the scanner to test fan activation within A/C context : Pass/Fail
  2. Read hi-side pressure data near 120Psi
  3. Read Evap coil temp near 1°C
  4. See compressor clutch is spinning
  5. Read valid cabin vent sensors
  6. Can blower run at multiple speeds?
  7. make sure cabin filter not pluged-up by dirt.
