Version for vehicles with automatically regulated A/C system
- Wiring Harness Of Automatically Regulated A/C System
- Different versions (e.g. with or without connection to Auxiliary Air Heater Control Module -J604-, with and without Fresh Air Intake Duct Temperature Sensor -G89-, with and without connection to Air Flow Door Motor -V71-, etc.).
- Mark the allocation before disconnecting the connectors (to prevent confusing connectors of same shape for different motors and temperature sensor).
- Secure wiring harness to mounting points provided on housing (using cable ties, or on mounts) so that it does not come into contact with moving components.NOTE:
- From model year 2006, the Fresh Air Intake Duct Temperature Sensor -G89- has been gradually discontinued, on vehicles without this temperature sensor, only the Climatronic Control Module -J255- with part no. as of index M is or may be installed.
- On vehicles without fresh air intake duct temperature sensor, a Climatronic control module with part number up to index L installed enters a DTC into the DTC memory.
- Up to the end of model year 2007, the air flow door (fresh air door) was moved by Air Flow Door Motor -V71-. From the end of model year 2007, the air flow door motor is being discontinued as a running change. On vehicles without the air flow door motor the air flow door is actuated via a curved washer and lever of the Recirculation Door Motor -V113-, refer to RECIRCULATION DOOR MOTOR . Therefore note the correct allocation of the Climatronic control module. If the allocation or the adaptation is not OK this is detected during basic setting and stored as a malfunction.
- Heating A/C Unit With Evaporator (Of Automatically Regulated A/C System)

On vehicles equipped with a diesel engine built through November 2006 (running change) the control of the auxiliary heater heating element is via the auxiliary air heater control module. Check using Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System VAS 5051 in "Guided Fault Finding" function. On diesel vehicles built from November 2006 (running change) have a 3-stage auxiliary heater heating element which is controlled by a relay from the Engine Control Module (ECM). Refer to Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System VAS 5051 in "Guided Fault Finding" function and refer to the appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS information.
- At this time, an auxiliary heater heating element is also installed in vehicles with Diesel engine and parking heater as optional equipment. At a later point in time (not yet finalized), the auxiliary heater heating element will be discontinued, then the parking heater undertakes the function of the auxiliary heater.
