Terminator Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 No I mean the built in diagnostic test. Not a fluid pressure check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W2 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I think it may be a diagnostic check on the engine management system that brings up a fault code for the aircon system. The fault codes are on this BBS under the resources section or something. I am probably speaking absolute bo11ock5 though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Not bollocks Just hold the Auto/ Manual and Fresh/Recirculate buttons on the air con in, while you switch on the ignition All the air con lights will flash a few times, let go and wait for a flashing light. If auto/ manual flashes, all is well. If the air to screen flashes you may need to shine a torch on the solar sensor on the dash in low light levels. If your system is OK when light hits the sensor the screen light goes out and A/M flashes. If anything else flashes and your have a problem. I have the codes here but not in jpeg.
