i did a scan using ICS MB2 to check my air con, as it does not seem to get that cold, despite being regassed a few weeks ago.
The following codes were stored:
960015 - the left sun sensor has a malfunction. There is a short circuit to ground or open circuit
90A907 - the actuator motor for the right blend air flap has a malfunction. There is a mechanical fault
A10D21 - The power supply is too low

From live data stream with car having been run with aircon on for 20 mins:

Refrigerant press = 16.3 bar
B10/6 Evap temp sensor = 6.6 degC
Power consumption of refrigerant compressor 0.87a
B14 out temp sensor = 61 degC
outside temp = 33 degC
B10/4 interior temp sens = 32 degC
N70b1 interior temp sens with fan = 33.1 degC
Light intensity of left dual sun sensor = 83.5%
right dual sun sensor = 57.6%
B10/31 Left Side air vent air outlet temp sensor = 10.6 degC
B10/35 left front footwell vent air out temp sensor = 21.7 degC
B10/32 R Side air vent out temp sensor = 10.1 degC
B10/36 RSF footwell vent air out temp sensor = 18.5 degC

It would seem that the outside temp sensor B14 is not working correctly as it's hot but not 61 degC here - more like 30's
Also, it seems the left sun sensor and right blend air flap actuator motor are also faulty.

Are the readings from the live data stream correct, and if not, is it due to the faults identified above?

Is it an easy fix too?

Thanks
 
or is there a way to reset the flaps perhaps, pressing recirc plus defrost did nothing

thanks
 
To the OP - did you ever find out what was causing this message:

'960015 - the left sun sensor has a malfunction. There is a short circuit to ground or open circuit'

I am getting this intermittently.
