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.

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?

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!!

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
