Fluorescent Dye Leak Detection
General EquipmentUV Leak Detector
1. Refer to: Air Conditioning (A/C) System Health
and Safety Precautions (100-00 General
Information, Description and Operation).
2. NOTE: Some vehicles may have signs of
refrigerant oil at the spring lock couplers. The
cause of this may be a procedure used in
production before installation of the fittings in
order to assist their assembly. When a spring
lock coupler is suspected of leaking, always
wipe the fitting clean and verify the leak with
R-134a Automatic Calibration Halogen Leak
Detector.
NOTE: The exact location of leaks can be
pinpointed by the bright yellow - green glow of
the tracer dye. Since more than one leak can
exist, always inspect each component.
• Locate the leaks. Check all components, fittings and lines of the A/C system for leaks.
General Equipment: UV Leak Detector
3. After the leak is found and rectified, remove any
traces of dye with a general purpose solvent.
4. Check the repair by operating the system for
some minutes and inspecting with the UV lamp
again.

Fault Memory Interrogation without
diagnostics unit - vehicles with
automatic temperature control
NOTE:On vehicles equipped with a DVD
navigation system with touchscreen, the fault
memory can only be interrogated using the Ford
diagnostic tool.
The climate control and heating system features
a on-board diagnosis function which can detect
and store both current permanent faults as well as
intermittent faults which have occurred during
normal operation of the vehicle. It is also possible
to read out these faults via the display on the
control panel of the climate control system. To read
out the fault memory, the ignition key must be
turned to the "ON" position and the battery voltage
must be between 9 V and 16 V.
To activate the on-board diagnosis at the control
panel for the climate control system, PRESS the
"OFF" and "FOOTWELL" buttons simultaneously
for exactly 2 seconds, then PRESS "AUTO" within
1.5 seconds. The on-board diagnosis which then
starts lasts a few seconds. An animated display
appears in the display of the control panel for the
climate control system during this time. Any faults
found are displayed on both displays of the control
panel for the climate control system in the form of
trouble codes.
To read out saved errors at the control panel for
the climate control system, PRESS the "OFF" and
"FOOTWELL" buttons simultaneously for exactly
2 seconds, then PRESS "HEAD AREA" within 1.5
seconds. Any stored faults are shown on the
display of the control panel for the climate control
system and should be noted for safety reasons.
By PRESSING the "DEFROST" button, the fault
memory is cleared and diagnosis mode is ended.
To end the diagnostic mode without clearing the
DTCs, PRESS any other operating button on the
control panel for the climate control system.
To read out the software version at the control
panel for the climate control system, PRESS the
"OFF" and "FOOTWELL" buttons simultaneously
for exactly 2 seconds, then PRESS "A/C" within
1.5 seconds. The software version is shown on the
display of the control panel for the climate control
system. The output mode can be exited by
PRESSING any button on the control panel for the
climate control system.
Switch over from Celsius to Fahrenheit
The switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit is performed
on the display of the instrument cluster and is then
transmitted via the CAN bus to the module of the
two-zone air conditioning system.
