Self diagnosis of Climatronic
Fault table
Note:
The following table lists all the faults, with the corresponding 5 digit code numbers, that can be recognized by the Climatronic control unit-J255-and printed out by the V.A.G 1551.
-
◆ If a fault does not occur regularly or if the fault memory is not deleted after elimination of fault, these faults are displayed as sporadic faults.
-
◆ Fault codes appear only on print-out.
Fault table may also include type of fault.
When repair has been carried out, the fault memory must always be interrogated again with the fault reader V.A.G 1551 and erased.
If, despite customer's complaint, no fault in Climatronic can be found, carry out "Final control diagnosis" function (
). If necessary, carry out fault finding for specific complaints without self diagnosis:

|
Cannot be checked at the moment
|
This read-out appears only when the final control diagnosis was carried out before interrogation of fault memory and the temperature switch could not be checked (e.g. if ambient temperature was below 12°C). This fault will be erased from control unit fault memory when ignition is switched off.
|
6)
A fault has been found with speedometer sender -G22- and not from road speed sender -G68-. The fault is only recognised if 5 driving cycles take place within 4 minutes after starting engine and no speed signal is measured.
