jethead98 Posted September 18, 2002 Author Share Posted September 18, 2002 I found and run the test, but unfortunately did not show up anything, does anyone know where the water control valve is, i presume its an electric solenoid type hidden away somewhere?? Climate Control Diagnostics R32 and R33 The climate control has a diagnostic mode. Enter the diagnostic mode by pressing the OFF button for five seconds within ten seconds of turning the ignition on. Sensor check Sensor check is selected by pressing HOT switch (the red triangle) while in diagnostic mode. The microcomputer detects whether each sensor input signal is within correct parameters. The results are displayed on the screen. If normal, a "20" is displayed. If abnormal the failed sensor number is displayed. The sensor numbers are as follows: 20 - all is normal 21 - outside air sensor 22 - Inside air sensor 23 - Water temperature sensor 24 - Intake temperature sensor 25 - Sunload sensor (small sensor on the left hand side of the dashboard near the windscreen) 26 - PBR 27 - Refrigerant temperature sensor This should tell you if any of your sensors are faulty. Mode door position check (This is probably not the cause of your problems but it is a nifty self check to play with). While in Sensor check, depress the HOT button again. This will operate the the mode door actuator, and checks the whether the position detection switch is operating. Again the results are displayed on the display. If normal, a "30" is displayed. If abnormal the number of the faulty mode is displayed as follows: 30: Normal 31: VENT 32: B/L (Bi level) 34: FOOT 35: DEFROST/FOOT 36: DEFROST Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/3883-no-heat/#findComment-62873 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word of caution, even in shade on a bright sunnny day you can get error 25.

jethead98 Posted September 19, 2002 Author Share Posted September 19, 2002 On the righthand side of the gearbox tunnel Adjacent to your left foot is an servo/motor mechanism that sequences the buterflies and water valve via a push/pull cable. This mechanism was stuck, gave a bit of a helping hand and away it went, all is fine now. Fault code 26 then dissapeared, left with Sunload sensor fail but who cares...Ive got heat now.. Can someone tell how to identify/find the Sunload sensor???? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/3883-no-heat/#findComment-63513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 the sun load sensor is next to the windscreen vent. its the round thing that looks like a solar panel Leon try doing the above test and see if you get an error and what number you get Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/3883-no-heat/#findComment-63517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
