Notes:
The electrical testing on vehicles up to model year

2001 is described with VAG 1526 multi-meter. The
electrical testing on these vehicles can also be
carried out using the VAS 5051 Vehicle Diagnostic,
Testing and Information System.
The electrical testing on vehicles from model year

2002 is described with the VAS 5051 Vehicle
Diagnostic, Testing and Information System. The
electrical testing can also be carried out using VAG
1526 multi-meter, except for several test steps.
With model year change 2001 to 2002 the A/C

system control will be changed over. For Audi
allroad, the change-over of the A/C system is not
performed with the model year change 2001 to
2002, instead it is a running change
(implementation open, for vehicles with 4.2 Liter

Socket assignment for VAG 1598 test box with adapter lead VAG 1598/11
Notes:
The terminal assignment for connectors A and B on the VAG 1598/11 adapter does not match the socket
assignment on the test box.
The terminal assignment for connector -C- on the VAG 1598/11 adapter matches exactly the socket
The terminal assignment for connector -D- on the VAG 1598/12 adapter matches exactly the socket
Because the connectors for the A/C Control Head -E87- are distributed over two adapter leads ((VAG 1598/11
and 12) there is no Ground (GND) connection for testing purposes when only adapter lead VAG 1598/11 is
connected. Therefore, for various steps of the electrical test it is necessary to use a suitable Ground
connection point on the body of the car, or to use a second VAG 1598 test box. With the VAG 1598/12
adapter the Ground (GND) connection is through terminal 14).

Notes:
The resistance value of potentiometer in the positioning motors (Specification: 3.6 k to 5.7 k between
terminal 1 and 3) can only be measured directly at the motor (connected in parallel).
The resistance of the potentiometers in the positioning motors (between terminals 1 and 2 and between
terminals 3 and 2) depends on the position of the positioning motor, and must always be measured with the
positioning motors installed. The maximum specified value would not be obtained in test step 4.1 and 4.2. To
obtain the maximum specified value, all the connectors on the other positioning motors would have to be
disconnected (motors are connected in parallel).
If the A/C Control Head -E87- detects the malfunction "Potentiometer short circuit to Ground (GND)" or "Open/
short circuit to B+", check all the potentiometer (one in each of the 5 positioning motors) and the wiring.
If the read out for the DTC memory shows that more than one of the positioning motors is malfunctioning but
no DTCs are identified in the test step 4, test for short circuits in wiring to and between the individual
positioning motors (e.g. between -V70- and -V71-).

The instrument cluster also transmits the current coolant temperature signal via the same wiring connections.
This may cause the LED on the voltage tester to flicker.

Coding (allocation) of ignition key is transmitted to the A/C control head -E87- from the instrument cluster
along with the coolant temperature and the signal "engine temperature too high" when ignition is switched on
for vehicles from m.y. 2000 (data message). Coding of key can only be processed by A/C control heads -E87-
with part number 8D0 820 043 with index "H", "J", "K" or "L" as well from index "T" and with index "AE", "AF",
"AG" and "AH". No information can be transmitted if the coolant temperature is too high.
When ignition is switched on, A/C control head -E87- begins with the setting that was valid when the ignition
was last switched off with this key (temperature, air distribution, fresh air blower RPM).
The instrument cluster can only be transmit the coding of the ignition key on vehicles equipped with
immobilizer.

Notes:

15.
The A/C control head -E87- receives its voltage supply only via terminals 15, so when the ignition is switched
off all the positioning motors remain in their current positions. However, in order to ventilate the vehicle interior
when the system is in solar ventilation mode, the fresh air/recirculated air flap must be in the "fresh air"
position. For this reason, on vehicles with solar sunroof, Solar Cell Separation Relay -J309- continues to
supply the A/C control head -E87- with power for a pre-defined period after the ignition has been switched off
(maintained voltage supply).

Test step 4:
Air conditioner positioning motors with potentiometers
Notes:
The resistance value of potentiometer in the positioning motors (Specification: 3,6 ... 5.7 k between terminal
1 and 3 can only be measured at the motor directly (connected in parallel).
The resistance of the potentiometers in the positioning motors (between terminals 1 and 2 and between
terminals 3 and 2) depends on the position of the positioning motor, and must always be measured with the
positioning motors installed. The upper specified value is not attained in test steps 4.1 and 4.2. (In order to
reach the upper specified value, all harness connectors from other positioning motors must be disconnected
during the measurement (switched in Parallel).
If the A/C Control Head -E87- detects the malfunction "Potentiometer short circuit to Ground (GND)" or "Open/
short circuit to B+", check all the potentiometers and the wiring.
If DTC memory recognizes several positioning motors as faulty and the malfunction cannot be detected in test
step 4, check potentiometers in all positioning motors and the wiring connection between the positioning
motors for short circuit (e.g. with harness connectors disconnected between -V107- and -V70- and -E87-

Notes:
If refrigerant circuit is correctly filled the pressure and therefore the duty cycle changes with ambient
temperature.
The duty cycle and the calculated pressure by A/C Control Head -E87- is displayed in the measuring value
block Page 01-166 (display group 001).
The signal that is transferred when the pressure in the refrigerant circuit is approximately 5 to 6 bar,
corresponds to an approximate duty cycle of 22% (with compressor not engaged, an ambient temperature of
20 C and properly filled refrigerant circuit).
The signal that is transferred when the pressure in the refrigerant circuit is approximately 16 bar, corresponds
to an approximate duty cycle of 50%. This is obtained with the compressor not engaged and under extreme
conditions (e.g. very ambient temperatures and a hot engine).

01-312
Checking pressure signal from High Pressure

Switch -G65-
The oscilloscope shows this display when the following

conditions are met.
- Ignition switched on (B+ and Ground available at

High Pressure Switch -G65-)
- Setting on oscilloscope: 5 V/Div. = (5V per unit
DC voltage) 5 ms/Div. (5 Milli seconds per unit)
- Measuring lead (signal lead) connected to socket -
21- of VAG 1598/11 test box.
- Measuring cable (shielded) connected to terminal -
14- on connector -D- of A/C Control Head -E87- or
vehicle Ground (GND).
Notes:
The display shows a signal that is transferred when

the pressure in the refrigerant circuit is
approximately 7 bar, it corresponds to an
approximate duty cycle of 25% (with compressor
not engaged, an ambient temperature of 30 C and
properly filled refrigerant circuit).

The impulse width -A- depends on the pressure in

the refrigerant circuit (if pressure increases, area -
A- is getting wider).

01-313
The signal distance -B- is always 20 milli seconds

(corresponds to frequency of 50 Hertz).
The duty cycle is determined by the ratio of impulse
width -A- and signal distance -B-.

Terminal 2 Signal output (square wave signal to -E87-)
Terminal 3 B+ (terminal 75)
Notes:
With harness connector -B- disconnected, the

The high pressure sensor -A- is an electronic

control module, which creates a square wave
signal, the duty cycle ratio changes with pressure in
the refrigerant circuit Page 01-314 .

Notes:
The A/C control head -E87- switches the

compressor on as soon as no compressor cut-off
condition exists (by activating the A/C Compressor
Regulator Valve -N280- or A/C Clutch Relay -J44-).
- - If the duty cycle is greater than 12% (absolute
pressure corresponds approx.; 1.8 bar), if less
than 87.5% (pressure corresponds to approx.:
32 bar).
- - The compressor is not switched on if the duty
cycle is less than 12 % or greater than 87.5 %
(A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- is not
activated).
The duty cycle and the calculated pressure by A/C
Control Head -E87- is displayed in the measuring
value block Page 01-166 (display group 001).

At absolute pressure, 0 bar corresponds to

absolute vacuum. Normal ambient pressure
corresponds to approximately 1 bar absolute
pressure. 0 pressure corresponds to an absolute
pressure of one bar on most pressure gauges
(indicated by -1 below 0).

01-315
For vehicles with compressor using A/C

Compressor Regulator Valve -N280- (coding of A/C
control head -E87-)
The A/C Control Head -E87- sends the request to

switch on the coolant fans to the Engine Control

- - The first speed independent from pressure in

refrigerant circuit as soon as compressor is
switched on.
- - The second speed is currently activated at 100

% with a pressure of 16 bar in the refrigerant
circuit.
For vehicles with compressors using A/C clutch -

N25- (coding of -E87-):
The A/C Control Head -E87- switches the cooling

fan on via a separate wiring connection to Coolant
Fan control (FC) Relay -J26- and Second Speed
Coolant Fan Control (FC) Relay -J101- or to
Coolant FC (Fan Control) Control Module -J293-:

- - The first speed independent from pressure in

refrigerant circuit as soon as compressor is
switched on.
- - The second speed is currently activated at 100

% with a pressure of 16 bar in the refrigerant
circuit.

01-322
Depending on button pressed on A/C Control Head -

E87- the oscilloscope displays:
- During operating mode "OFF" of "Econ"no square

wave signal (the regulator valve is not activated).
- During operating mode "Auto" and temperature

selection "Lo" a square wave signal with an impulse
width -A- between 75% and 100% (the regulator
valve is activated)
Notes:
The illustration shows a signal with a duty cycle

ratio of approx. 80%.
The impulse width -A- is dependent of the required
cooling performance, the vehicle voltage etc. (via
the width of range -A- the current is regulated
through A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280-
by the A/C Control Head -E87-.
The signal distance -B- is always 2 milli seconds
(corresponds to frequency of 500 Hertz).
The duty cycle is determined by the ratio of impulse
width -A- and signal distance -B-.

In the event that you connect the signal cable to

terminal -1- and the cable with the Ground
connection to vehicle Ground, a mirror image of the
shown signal in illustration A87-0374 appears.

the control valve is so activated, that the pre-
selected temperature is reached (compressor
performance is attained).
Notes:
During operating mode "Auto" and temperature

selection "Lo" the A/C Compressor Regulator Valve
-N280- is activated in such way that the maximum
permissible current of 0.65 A flows through -N280-
(maximum compressor output).
In controlled operation, the activation period is
dependent on the requested cooling performance,
the vehicle voltage etc. The activation period is at
least so long that an average current of 0.3 A flows.

Solar sunroof, electrical testing
Notes:
Solar ventilation function only works when the

sunroof is either closed or in the raised position.
The solar sunroof converts the solar energy into
electrical energy which then passes into the vehicle
electrical system via terminals A (on the front of the
sunroof) and terminals B (on the frame of the
sunroof).
When the ignition is switched on and the auxiliary
or auxiliary ventilation is operating, the solar
ventilation function cannot be used (Solar Cell
Separation Relay -J309- switches the voltage
supply for Fresh Air Blower -V2- from Solar Cells -
C20- to terminal "30".
Component Locations

The A/C control head -E87- receives its voltage

supply only via terminals 15, so when the ignition is
switched off all the positioning motors remain in
their current positions. However, in order to
ventilate the vehicle interior when the system is in
solar ventilation mode, the fresh air/recirculated air
flap must be in the "fresh air" position. For this
reason, on vehicles with solar sunroof, Solar Cell
Separation Relay -J309- continues to supply the A/
C control head -E87- with power for a pre-defined
period after the ignition has been switched off

01-340
The energy yielded by Solar Cells -C20- is

converted by the Control module for solar operation
-J355- (located between the sunroof lining and the
solar sunroof): for example, from 6.5 volts and 2.5
A into 3.5 volts and 4.6 amps.
The electrical energy yielded by the solar sunroof

when exposed to a solar irradiation level of 500W/
m2 is around 12W:
500W/m2 (solar irradiation) x 0.21m2 (Solar cell

surface area on sunroof) x 0.13 (efficiency of solar
cells -C20-) x 0.9 (efficiency of Control module for
solar operation -J355-).
Terminals A and B (on the sunroof and sunroof

frame) are used to transfer the electrical energy
generated, and must always be clean and free of
conventional lubricating grease.
If necessary, terminals A and B can be lightly
coated with contact grease (electrically conductive
protective lubricant, available from suppliers of
electronic equipment).

Up to model year 2000 sunroof with 21 solar cells

were installed, from model 2000 as a running
change sunroofs have converted with 28 solar cells
(more efficient)

01-341
If Control module for solar operation -J355- sends a

buzzer signal during day time, indicates this a short
circuit:
- - Check wiring connection for short circuit
between Control module for solar operation -
J355- and contacts -E-.
- - Check both contacts -E- for short circuit to
sunroof.
- - Check wiring connection short circuit between
contacts of sunroof frame and Fresh Air Blower -
V2- (via Solar Cell Separation Relay -J309-).
Component Locations
The isolating washer -C- and -D- must be installed
between bolts -A-, -B- and contact -E-.
Glue textile-tape on contact surface -G-, if there is
a short circuit between contact E and sunroof -F-,
carefully pinch hole in opening -H-.
Testing operation of solar sunroof
- Park vehicle in sun

light

01-342
Note:
If weather conditions are unfavorable, the solar sunroof

can illuminated using two commercially available 500 W
halogen lamps. These must be set up at a distance of
at least 500 mm (19.7 in.) from the surface of the solar
sunroof.
- Set climate control so that air is directed to

instrument panel air outlets.
- Open center instrument panel air outlet and close all

others outlets.
- Switch ignition off (A/C Control Head -E87- goes

dark).
- Make sure sunroof is

closed.
- Air should be flowing from the instrument panel air

outlets (if necessary, check by moistening hand and
holding in front of vent).

Notes:
If Fresh Air Blower -V2- does not

work:
- - Open sunroof about 10 cm (3.94

in).
- - Connect test light (12 volt with maximum 5W)

between both contacts -A- of sunroof.

01-343
- - The test lamp should glow or light up

(depending of the intensity of the sunlight).
- If the test lamp glows or lights up, the solar sunroof is

functioning properly.
- - Check wiring to Fresh Air Blower -V2- (via

Solar Cell Separation Relay -J309-).

Component Locations
Only a small energy of 1.5 W is supplied when

shining a halogen lamps on the solar sunroof (fresh
air fan turns, but air flow is hardly recognizable.

01-344
Sensor for air quality -G238-, function
The sensor for air quality recognizes pollutants in the recirculating air (mostly gasoline and or diesel exhaust)
and relies on the A/C Control Head -E87- to switch to the recirculating mode.
The A/C Control Head -E87- receives a signal from the Sensor for air quality -G238- from which the type and
amount of air pollution is determined. Depending on the outside temperature and the amount of air pollution,
the A/C control head then decides:
- At an outside temperature greater than approx.: + 2 C (36 F) the recirculating air mode is switched on when
there is only a slight increase in pollutants. switched in air recirculation mode
- At outside temperature between approx. +2 C and approx. -8 Cthe change-over to the recirculating air mode is
only performed when the pollutant concentration strongly increases (compressor simultaneously switched on).
- At an outside temperature of - 8 C (-18 F) a change over occurs after a severe increase of pollutants
concentration, and only for 15 seconds (the compressor is not shut off).
- If the concentration drops, the climate control system switches over to the fresh air mode.

The function "Automatic air recirculation" can be switched off at any time. If the function is active and a
request for "Automatic air recirculation" is present the compressor is also switched on when outside
temperatures are lower than + 2 C. Compressor operation is not possible with temperatures lower than
approx. - 8 C.
On vehicles with "Automatic air recirculation", up to a temperature of approx. - 8 C the compressor can be
switched on when recirculated air was manually switched on (via recirculation button).
To ensure that the A/C does not operate constantly in the recirculating air mode in areas with a consistently
higher pollution, the sensor is self learning (it adjusts its sensitivity to the environmental conditions).
If outside air pollution load remains high for longer period of time, the sensor starts to adapt itself to the
changing environmental condition through an adaptation program (learning program), the air recirculation
request in evenly polluted ambient air is therefore generally shorter than 12 minutes. The climate control
system may also operate a longer period of time in air recirculation mode, if more load peaks occur after
another.

01-345
A specific amount of time is needed for the A/C flaps to change over. In the event that a sudden increase in
pollutants is encountered (e.g. when driving through a diesel exhaust cloud) gas-forming pollutants can be
taken in with the fresh air into the passenger compartment until the flaps can be closed. For this reason, a
dust- and pollen filter is installed with a charcoal layer. A filter that has become saturated with pollutants is no
longer effective and needs to be replaced Page 87-80 .
In order to avoid a quick shifting from the recirculating-/fresh air flap, a slight increase in pollutants entering
with recirculating air will not allow for immediate shifting (the sensor does not send a request to A/C Control
Head --E87-). The filtering of the charcoal insert in the dust- and pollen filter will be sufficient Page 87-81 .
In order to avoid quick shifting from the recirculating air/fresh air flap, the requirement from the sensor for
"Automatic air recirculation" mode is at least 25 seconds (minimum duration period), especially if the pollutant
concentration has been reduced considerably so that recirculating air mode is no longer necessary.
If the compressor is shut-off (e.g. in "Econ" mode" so that the windows do fog up, the maximum duration of the
"Automatic air recirculation" mode from A/C control head -E87- is limited to approx. 15 seconds.
In order to defrost windows as quick as possible, recirculating air mode is not possible with A/C Control Head -
E87- in the defrost operating mode.

The Sensor for air quality -G238- requires approx. 30 seconds to become operational after switching the
ignition on (warm-up time). During this time there is no requirement from the sensor to A/C Control Head -E87-
for "Automatic air recirculation" mode.
The Sensor for air quality -G238- contains a highly sensitive electronic component, which can be damaged if it
comes in direct contact with solvents, fuels or chemicals. Therefore, do not install sensors which have come in
contact with such substances.

In order to avoid quick shifting from the recirculating air/

fresh air flap, the requirement from the sensor for
"Automatic air recirculation" mode is at least 25 seconds
(minimum duration period), especially if the pollutant
concentration has been reduced considerably so that
recirculating air mode is no longer necessary.

01-351
- Operate switch for wiper/washer system until

windshield washer pump -V5- has been cycled for
approx. 2 seconds.

1-.
Specification:
30
(Requirement for recirculating air due to washer/

wiper system, A/C switches for approx. 15
seconds to the air recirculating mode)
- Wait a short period

time.

1-.
Specification: 00 or
0


or
Specification:
60
(Partial air recirculation

mode)

01-352
Notes:
Depending on the composition of the windshield

washer fluid, the sensor can determine impurities in
the air and request for "Automatic air recirculation".
If when activating the wiper/washer system the

mode does not switch over to recirculating air,
check the wiring connection between A/C Control
Head -E87- and Wiper/Washer Intermittent Relay -
J31- (the information "windshield washing" is send
via a separate wiring connection to A/C Control
Head -E87-) Page 01-241 (Read measuring
value block display group 017).
Note:
If the functions of the Sensor for air quality -G238- is OK

for this test and there is a customer complaint continue
as follows:
- Check dust and pollen filter for dirt.

- Connect VAS 5051 and select "Read measuring value

block" function 08.

01-353
- A second technician is required because the indicated

values must be read out in the vehicle interior.
- Observe safety caution notes Page 01-10 .
- Enter display group number "015".
- Drive vehicle to area with relatively clean ambient air

(system operates in fresh air mode).
- Now drive vehicle into an area with heavily polluted

ambient air (e.g. on a street construction or truck traffic).
- Check indications shown in display fields -1- and -2-

Display fields -1- and -2- must change when driving
through a diesel exhaust cloud. Meaning: Read
measuring value block display group 015 ( overview
of display groups Page 01-166 ).
- Read notes on Page 87-81 and Page 01-344 .
