Test step 3:

Power supply and wiring to control unit -J126 and fresh-air blower -V2

Test step 3.1

Checking power supply to fresh-air blower -V2

  • ‒ Switch off ignition.
  • ‒ Remove glove box.

=> General Body Repairs, Interior; Repair Group 68

 
A87-0388
  • ‒ → Unplug connector -A- from fresh-air blower control unit -J126 -B-.
  • ‒ Measure voltage between contact -4- and contact -3- at connector -A-.

Specification:
Battery voltage

Notes:

  • ◆ If voltage is less than battery voltage, use current flow diagram to repair voltage/earth connection.
 
A87-0388
  • ◆ → On vehicles with sun roof with solar cells, voltage generated by solar cells of sun roof is applied to contact 6 of connector when sun roof is closed.
  • ◆ Fresh-air blower control unit -J126 is constantly monitored by -E87 (heating). Any faults occurring are stored in fault memory. Instantaneous status of fresh-air blower -V2 is displayed in measured value block=>Reading measured value block, Page 01-114 (display group 018).

Test step 4:

Heating system control motors and corresponding potentiometers

Notes:

  • ◆ Resistance value of potentiometers in control motors (Specification: 3.6 ... 5.7 kωbetween contacts 1 and 3) can only be measured directly at control motor (parallel connection).
  • ◆ Resistance value of potentiometers in control motors (between contacts 1 and 2 as well as 3 and 2) is governed by position of control motorand is only to be measured with control motorinstalled. Upper specification is not attained in test steps 4.1 and 4.2 (to attain upper specification, all connectors would have to be unplugged from other control motors during measurement - parallel connection).
  • ◆ If -E87 (heating) detects fault "Potentiometer short to earth" or "Open circuit/short to positive", check all potentiometers in the control motors as well as the corresponding wiring.
  • ◆ If several control motors are simultaneously displayed as being faulty in the fault memory and no fault is found in test step 4, check for short circuit in potentiometers in all control motors and in wiring between the individual control motors (e.g. between -V107 and -V70; with connectors unplugged from all control motors and -E87 (heating), measuring instrument must display ∞ω between sockets 1, 2 and 3 in appropriate connector).

  • ◆ If operating and display unit for air conditioner/Climatronic -E87 (heating) remains in operation after switching off ignition and "1" is displayed in measured value block, display group 022, locate and eliminate short to positive to connector D, contact 10.
  • ◆ Only genuine Audi auxiliary/additional heaters can be actuated by way of convenience data bus and exchange data with other control units linked to this bus system..
  • ◆ The majority of commercially available auxiliary heaters cannot exchange data via the data bus system and are not to be connected to it.
