Expansion Valve: Testing and Inspection
A/C Compressor Regulator Valve, Checking Activation Signal
A/C Compressor Regulator Valve, Checking Activation Signal
‹› The test for a compressor manufactured by "Denso" of type " 6 SEU 14" is described in the following. Test is to be performed in the same way for
vehicles with a different compressor type or a different manufacturer.
‹› The following describes checking a vehicle with a 6 cylinder TDI engine ; the procedure can vary on vehicles with a different engine ( 4, 6 or 8
cylinder gas engine).
Preparation
-
Switch off ignition.
-
Remove front noise insulation.
Test Sequence
-
Disconnect electrical connector - B - on Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor regulator valve (N280) - A -.
-
Using an adapter cable from the connector test kit (VAG 1594 C) recreate the connection between terminal - A - and terminal - B - on the A/C
compressor regulator valve (N280).
‹› The A/C compressor regulator valve (N280) is controlled by the vehicle electrical system control module (J519) on request of the climatronic
control module (J255). Refer to , A/C control head. Refer to => Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System VAS 5051 in "Guided Fault
Finding" function.
‹› The above illustration shows a compressor where the connector - A - leading to the vehicle wiring harness is directly connected on the A/C
compressor regulator valve (N280) (connector - B -). Depending on the compressor design, the connector - B - may also have a short wire.
