Checking:
- With the engine running, briefly bridge terminal 1
and 2 of connector. If the A/C clutch -N25-
engages, the refrigerant circuit is empty.
-F129- functional checks
To determine proper A/C system performance,
perform the following functional checks with the
switch installed and connected.
- Check refrigerant capacity (fill). If system pressure
is too low (refrigerant leakage), -F129- switches
A/C clutch off.
- Check cooling fan function. When system pressure
increases, -F129- causes coolant fan -V7- to
switch to next higher fan speed.
- Check if A/C system switches off. At excessive
system pressures (e.g.: caused by high ambient
temperatures or if condensor is blocked), -F129-
switches A/C clutch off.
