Since you seem to be a bit of magician, I have a '99 E430 Avantgarde Auto. EC red light's been on for about a month. Had it re-gassed this morning - it was about one third full - but light still stays on and it won't blow cold air. Technician said the system was all fine, with no leaks, etc and it pressurised OK, but he didn't know the reset code. Sensor read-outs are below. 1. 30 2. 25 3. 31 4. 30 5. 26 6. 77 7. 06 8. 32 The only error code is: E. FF - which I think means No Errors, but not sure. After getting the E FF code, pressing the REST button would not exit out of TROUBLE CODE RETRIEVAL MODE setting without switching the car ignition off. I then tried pressing AUTO buttons simultaneously but this won't switch off EC light - so presumably not engaging the compressor. Also, the built-in light has failed and I can't see it to operate at night. Any ideas? Cheers, Matthew

Great video. I will try to make a long story short. I had a new compressor installed every thing was fine a couple days later the clutch snapped right off. I took it back to the location that installed it. They put a new compressor in however they claimed that my climate control system failed and the system was running just on ec. The compressor kicks on and off pretty quickly and from my gages appears to be slightly high side with presure. I ran your code and came up with collect levels and 451 as current then all the flap codes after that . Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
@fupabox10 жыл бұрын
the shop that installed the compressor should have evacuated and the then refilled the refrigerant. They made a mistake and it sounds like they are looking to blame someone...EC mode just turns the compressor off... I run my cars in EC mode 90% of the time...451 is the diverter flap and should also have nothing to do with the compressor ..it only opens/closes to redirect air,,,the flaps are all controlled by vacuum and the main vacuum block for them is under the glovebox by the interior air filter...look up in there for leaking or unhooked hoses

Idk if this matters or not but maybe this can help someone else because I was having a hell of a time with it - if your a/c is already set to low when you start this procedure, set it up a few degrees and turn the car off and back on then start the procedure.

I found an official procedure online and it said "within 20 seconds of setting to low.." and it wasn't going for me until I did that. But apparently I picked up a stone on the highway not too long ago that popped a leak on my Chinese replacement condenser, I'm impressed the car detected a slight drop in pressure and locked out the compressor until I reset it (it still had enough to cool fairly well)... Then checked the pressures and added dye and the condenser was pretty obvious.. Long before ever running the system all the way down. And yes, I was trying to use a/c in January, it was in the low 70s*F today!!

Hope your winter is progressing well. I have had a slight coolant smell at idle at temperature for a while. Never when moving , no coolant leak anywhere to be seen, no moisture from HVAC sys. It does use coolant I have put in a gallon over 5 years and assume that there is a slight HG leak, but it runs fine. No smell or leak under the hood. I mean it can only be the heater core or lines but why would it not smell all the time? I did put in some stop leak a couple of years ago but didnt do much good. Any thoughts ? I would wait until summer to pull core as the car will be in my garage until snows gone.
@fupabox8 жыл бұрын
+William Z I would think the heater core would leak a lot quicker since it is under pressure. But it could be the core.. Before going to that extreme, you could find a UV light and check under the hood once the car is running. The coolant should fluoresce under UV . A very tiny drip here and there can add up, and not be noticed especially under the hood. My first suspect would be the water pump seal at the bottom drip tube...they can leak slowly for years before they go completely

Thank you for the amazing videos! I just had a question. My AC has never worked.. When I bought the car the seller said a mechanic quoted him $600 to fix it.. So today I pulled up the codes and man were there a lot.. There was only one current code.. 241 (low level).. Now for the pending codes, it gave me 231, 233, 416, 417, 419, 459, 451, 452, 455, 456, 457, and 458 lol.. Do you think it could be as easy as topping up the refrigerant? When I bought the car the blower motor wasn't working.. which I fixed right away, so that is probably where a lot of those codes are coming from.. Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated :) Thank you
@fupabox10 жыл бұрын
low level could be the only issue...very often it is the reason A/C systems fail..the refrigerant being low will trip the pressure switch to not allow the compressor to come on...if you erase the codes and the only current one is 241..It would be simple and cheap to top it up and cross your fingers :) Without the old codes clearing the system won't operate properly. Pending codes are old ones not erased that the system thinks may occur again since they happened before, and may not be resolved since they are uncleared

Sorry not getting back to you. I tried what you said and nothing helped. Just got air coming out the front defroster and two side vents regardless where the setting was set - Defroster, floor or center air flow. Nothing out the center. The fan didn't seem to run real fast. I recharged the air system and the air got a little cooler but not much. Now today the fan stopped working all together. Needless to say this is making me sick. I can't get rid of the car. I just spent $435.00 to disconnect the locking system at a Benz dealer, towing included, and $450 for ball joints, tires and inspection. Does deleting a code fix the problems? I don't know what an air vent test is. I can't spend $100s more at a dealer.

check the blower regulator , it is likely the cause.. There is power to the fan even when the car is off (rest function ) and the regulator controls the negative feed to the fan .. if the regulator is bad it can constantly feed power to the fan motor.

Once the cover is removed the regulator is the silver finned thing screwed to the fan housing.

+abdellatif gbella 416 is coolant recirc pump... after the car has been driven for a while press the "rest" button on the climate control panel when the car is turned off and see if you get warm air continuing to come from the vents for the next 10 minutes. If the air is still warm ( you will also hear a click every few seconds while it is in "rest" mode.) then the recirc pump is good. Does your air conditioning work ? 419 is usually caused by an aircon system needing re-gassing. The ESP could be a whole lot of things.. Does ABS work ? Does cruise control work ?

Hi There. My climate control system starts up on 72 full fan non auto whenever I start the car. Res doesnt seem to work. I tried unhooking it and the reset procedure here and code 421 comes up. Any thoughts? Ty as usual!
@fupabox10 жыл бұрын
same issue as DJBRAINBUZZ had a few weeks ago (see comments and links below) the pulse modulator on the aux fan is either faulty or the wires are corroding...it counts the revolutions of the aux. cooling fan motor to make sure it is adequately turning to cool off the condenser ...when it isn't getting a proper signal it defaults to 72 degrees and fan on to prevent engine overheating damage...it's kinda overkill, and something only the Germans would think of...the links will show you how to find it under the fender well

William Z not sure how to test one or tell if it is bad...I would guess that if the hvac comp. says it isn't getting the signal there must be something wrong... I have yet to have the self diagnosis components on any Mercedes give me a wrong answer...that's why there are usually more than 1 code..since one failed sensor can cause another to have a false reading , the codes will come up for both as possibilities ...I have found more often that not that older electronic components with a circuit board can be repaired by re-tinning (melting the solder joints and allowing them to re-form) and de-whiskering the board...it has been found that since the demise of lead in solder, there is a tendency for solder joints to form microscopic "whiskers" or tendrils that grow out and make contact with nearby circuits...as long as there is no power to the circuit board it can be cleaned of tendrils with a soft plastic brush (gently brush the circuit board and blow it off with compressed air) www.empf.org/empfasis/2009/may09/tin.html

The outside air temp sensor is a little probe looking thing that sticks out need the bottom of the front bumper . A lot of times it just gets unplugged . They are pretty cheap to replace if bad , and used ones are available on ebay etc. simple to swap out the coolant temp sensor is also a very quick job to replace , and can also just be a matter of a bad electrical connection .

Hey hope you had a great summer! Anyway the climate control system has been acting weird it is switching between defrost center side and foot vents on startup. Evens out after it has been on for a while. Ran the Climate codes and 421 233 416 417 and 419 came up although only 421 remains after deletion. Pulse module...that sounds like what its doing any info on where it is in the car? Ty as always!

+William Z Pretty good hot summer..thanks. Hope yours was good as well.. 421 is fan pulse module.. located inside the drivers front wheel well under the fender liner...black box with a few wires/plug coming out..it controls electric radiator fan speed..it can get dirty and corroded up in there, and may just need a clean

+fupabox Ty for the reply. The421 code is still there from the last time I forgot to replace the auto climate control fuse. I just did replace the secondary air pump with a boneyard part and I am wondering if this may relate to the vent shift at startup.
@fupabox9 жыл бұрын
William Z HHmm I don't see how it could ..the air pump is just to decrease emissions when the fuel mixture is rich when cold ..the vent shift is possibly the vacuum leaking down when the car is off..it builds as the car is running ,then holds proper setting...once off it is leaking down...it is designed to default to defrost, so if the vacuum system fails, the area most related to safety gets the airflow...windshield

+fupabox I found a slight air leak in the line that goes to a part that I am embarrassed to say I dont know the name of. The line originates from under the front top engine cover and goes to the part which is on the left side of the motor from the front and directly over the alternator.

There should be 2 aux. cooling fans visible when the hood is opened...with the car turned off and cold (make sure the engine is cold because you need to check if the fans will spin ,by turning them with your finger.. if they spin they are not seized..check fuse #44 in the fusebox ..it controls the auxiliary cooling fans.. there are 2 relays #21 and #26 remove and swap the 2 around.. if the blower inside the car still moves air like it should then the relay is fine.. if swapping the relays made the fan inside the car now not work, the realay is bad ( the 2 relays are identical for the aux. fan and the interior blower , so swapping them around is the quickest easiest way to test them. ) also check the big plug for the fans on the side of the radiatior.. unplug it and check for corrosion.. BTW does the car ever overheat ? The aux fans will come on for 2 reasons ..a/c on .. or engine temp high . If the fans spin by hand, the #44 fuse is good, and the relay test was fine , the likely cause is low refrigerant level in the a/c system..There is a pressure switch in the a/c refrigerant lines ..if the pressure isn;t high enough the fans will not come on
