Aircon diagnostics

[NIZ30]

Anyone know how to run aircon diagnostics?

I have R32 skyline, and the aircon keeps turning itself off all the time. I have had it checked and was told everything is now fine except it stops blowing cool air for a while. The auto-electrician couldn't find out why, and said he had another one that does the same thing.

Any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated.

At a guess I would say your compressor has died.

Its a while since I've done this, so here goes:

Turn ignition to ON.

Hold down the (A/c) OFF button for about 5 sec. I think it starts having a 'flash' attack.

Use HOT / COLD buttons to move through the various diagnostic tests that it carries out.

Any errors will be flashed as a number after its all over.

Turn off ignition to cancel diagnostics.

Advice - make sure you park the car in full sunlight to avoid error 26 (sunlight sensor).

Compressor is now fine...did have aproblem but it is now sorted. The problem I now have is ever five minutes or so the a/c blows outside air in, not cooling it.

Auto electrician said it is most likely a sensor somewhere not working properly, and if i can find out how to do diagnostics it may help.

Thanks a lot blind_elk, will give it a go tomorrow, in the sunlight. Do you know what the different numbers mean?

P.s more competition in brisy hey?

[NIZ30]

You should go out to the next meet at Benarby.

A class specificly for imports and 4's.

Should be real good, i hear people from bundy & rocky coming just because of that.

If i have a fourth gear by then i will come back for this. You should get decent times, 4wd and all.

Who's your importer?

Aria jap are the guys importing the front cut for me there in sydney!(couple of jap guys that don't talk much english though)

Yeah I could go but with no manual and turbo lag I would only get a high 15, so why bother to go if you only get laughed at!!!

By the way I crashed the R6(blue motorbike) two weeks ago!!! lucky to be alive today because I landed on my head after collecting a trailer!!(shh probably over 110ish impact speed)will lose licence though!! Not injured though! back at work the next day!!

Looking for imports? Have you spoken to Garth in Rocky...does decent deals.
