clk320 w208 climate control

[Clkmaker]

Hi to everyone,


If this is in the wrong area I am sorry and ask please would you place it in the right area.


Today I found that I could not turn off my ec light and after reading the owners manual I had the air con system regassed. After the car was regassed I found that I still could not turn off the ec light no mateer what I did. I needed to go shopping and left both settings to low and took a drive to the shops. Whilst driving there I noticed very cold air coming out of all air vents. The ec light was still on and could not be turned off. Getting to the shops I turned the engine of and then on impluse started the engine again and this time I could turn the ec light off.


I did my shopping and returned to the car feeling happy. Upon starting the car I found the ec light on again and once more I could not turn it off. I drove home and once there I had a thought and once parked and turned the engine off I then turned the ingnition back on but did not start the engine. The ec light came on and I pushed the button and the light went off. I turned the ignition back off and then once more turned the ignition on with out starting the engine and the ec light stayed off.


Please would you help me to get my climate control working as it should Ie the problem with the eclight and economy mode etc.


Many thanks

Hi,
If the system has got low on gas it will log a fault code, even though it now has been refilled the fault code is still there and needs to be cleared with a diagnostic.
With a digital display you can access the fault codes and clear the fault "hopefully".
Hope you find his helpful.

SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE READOUT
Entering Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Display Mode
1) Turn ignition on. Press down arrow push button until "LO" is shown in A/C-heater control panel temperature display window.
2) Within 20 seconds, simultaneously press REST and defrost push buttons for more than 2 seconds. The Light Emitting Diode (LED) in the recirculated air push button will blink and the display window will show "di R".3) Press AUTO push button repeatedly, recording each DTC,until all DTCs are displayed. Permanent malfunctions are displayed first. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION tables.
4) If no permanent malfunctions are stored, the display window shows "En d". Press AUTO push button again. Intermittent DTCs will be displayed. Intermittent malfunctions are recognizable by the degree (°) symbol displayed along with the DTC (example: "04 °").
5) If no intermittent malfunctions are stored, the display window shows "En° d". Proceed to ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES.

Erasing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
1) After display window shows "En° d", press AUTO push button once again. Display window should show "dE L" (delete).
2) To erase DTCs, simultaneously press down and up arrow push buttons for more than 5 seconds. The display window should show "- --". If not erasing DTCs, press the AUTO push button. The permanent DTCs will again be displayed. Proceed to EXITING DTC DISPLAY MODE.
Exiting DTC Display Mode
Simultaneously press down and up arrow push buttons until the pre-selected temperature setting of "72 °F" is displayed. Turn ignition off.
