Production Solution Not applicable. Service Before replacing the A/C compressor, run the ODIS GFF test plan. The test plan is in various locations in the navigation depending on the vehicle being serviced. Since the A/C cooling performance test is a ‘function test’ it is generally found by navigating to sub-headers such as ‘functions’, ‘other functions’ or ‘general function tests’ in Heating and Air Conditioning Electronics. The following are two examples. 2017 Q7 (with 3-zone climate control): 1.Navigate to the Test plan tab of the diagnosis program (Figure 1). Select Body>>Heating / Air Conditioning>>01 – On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capable systems>>08 – Front A/C display control head – E87->>08 Heating / Air Conditioning Electronics, functions>>08-Other Functions.

The system is operating properly. If the A/C performance test returns a malfunction, perform diagnosis and repair the system as needed. If the compressor is found to be faulty according to the test plan and is replaced please: • • Upload the “Long” version of the Diagnostic Log to GFF Paperless. It is not necessary to print this version. Print out and attach the “Function Test” version of the diagnostic log to the replaced compressor for return to the WPRC (Figure 3). It is not necessary to print and attach the “Long” version of the diagnostic log. Figure 3. Only print a copy of the Function test version of the diagnostic log and attach to the replaced compressor.

Note: As previously mentioned the cooling performance test plan is in various locations in the navigation depending on the vehicle and equipment level. This variation in test plan location does not in any way waive the requirement for this test plan to be run before an air conditioning compressor is replaced. If the test plan is missing or cannot be found in ODIS please file an ODIS Feedback. Consult the Technical Assistance Center (TACS) for assistance, if necessary, before replacing an air conditioning compressor without a GFF test plan supporting the replacement. Note: All other applicable bulletins apply. See TSB 2035582 for information on required documentation of recovered refrigerant volume. Warranty Claim Type: 110 up to 48 Months/50,000 Miles.
