Displaying & Reading Trouble Codes


ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC MODE
The type C68 air conditioning is equipped with an on-board diagnostic feature which allows the HVAC Control Assembly to detect certain system faults. The diagnostic feature can also be used to display certain data parameters. If the HVAC Control Assembly detects a fault in the system, the C° (or F°) indicator will flash during the first two minutes of vehicle operation.

Entry into the diagnostic mode is gained by depressing the "OUTS TEMP" and "BI-LEV" buttons at the same time. Once the diagnostic mode is entered, any trouble codes stored will be displayed. If none are present, 00 will be displayed.

If the "WARM" button is depressed after the trouble codes have been displayed, the data mode will be entered. The information available in the data mode is displayed in units used by the computer which may not be of use in observing the system. To exit the diagnostic mode, press any mode button.

A list of Trouble Codes and their meanings follow:
