1)During m.y. 1996, Nippondenso type A/C compressors were installed as a running change. These compressors are not
equipped with A/C speed sensor G111. DTC at A/C Clutch -N25- are only detected only on compressors equipped with A/C
Compressor speed sensor G111.
2)Sender G111 produces 4 pulses for each compressor revolution.
3)A/C Clutch is switched on for a few seconds after engine starts.

4) A/C compressor speed sensor G111 is not installed on Nippondenso compressors. If A/C control head -E87- is not coded
correctly according to compressor type, A/C Clutch -N25- will only engage briefly and shut off due to no speed signal input.

1) If A/C control head -E87- is unable to determine the duration of time when ignition is off ("standing time"), DTC 01206
"signal for time span ignition off" is loaded into memory. The A/C control head will then default to a standing time greater than
4 hours. The actual measured values of the outside temperature sensor are then used as instantaneous outside and engine
temperature inputs for A/C system control. When the "heating" mode is selected under these conditions, the fresh air blower -
V2- has a delayed start (even when the actual standing time is less than 4 hours and the engine is warm) page 01

,
Read measuring value block. The outside air temperature display -G106- may also indicate incorrect outside temperature
values.
2) -V71- operates the air flow flap as well as the fresh/recirculated air flap.
