Reading Measured Value Block ( Climatronic Control Module J255)



Reading Measured Value Block

NOTE:
- The lists of various measured value blocks is for information purposes only. When implementing "Reading measured value block" function as part of Guided Fault-Finding, an explanation is given of appropriate measured values in addition to notes on function of various components "Guided Fault-Finding" function of Diagnostic Operation System VAS 5051. For installing locations of components actuated. Depending on position of control motor, various flaps are closed or opened over control motor adjustment range by way of attached cam plate "Guided Fault-Finding" function of Diagnostic Operation System VAS 5051.

- If a value of greater than "250" (open circuit or poor ground connection) or less than "5" (open circuit, fault in 5V supply voltage or short to ground) is displayed for one (or several) potentiometer(s) in one (or more) control motor(s), this is an indication of a fault in wiring to control motor or in potentiometer of the or a control motor (same positive supply or ground connection).
- If value displayed for a control motor is outside permitted range, check assignment of levers and cam plates connecting shaft of control motor to flap or flaps.
- If a permissible value cannot be determined for a potentiometer in a control motor during "Basic setting" function, a substitute value is indicated in display group for this control motor and a DTC stored in DTC memory. This substitute value (approx. mid-position in permissible tolerance range) is used by Climatronic Control Module J255 (or Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) E265) to control flap position in emergency operation.
- Depending on version (of Climatronic Control Module J255 and Rear A/C Control Head (Climatronic) E265), measured value block reading may be "On" or "1" and "Off" or "0".
