Read measured value block

Notes:

  • ◆ During the function "Read measuring value block" the Climatronic regulation is in operation.
  • ◆ There are 3 display groups each with 4 measuring values.
  • ◆ To read off the measuring values whilst driving a 2nd mechanic is required.
  • ‒ Connect fault reader V.A.G 1551 and input address word "08 Air conditioner/Heating electronics" and then press ⇒key, until "Select function XX" is shown in display .
 
→ Indicated on display (function selection):
Rapid data transfer     HELP
Select function XX
  • ‒ Press keys -0- and -8- (08 initiates the "Read measured value block" function).
 
→ Indicated on display:
