Can anyone explain what all the various codes and their associated readings are?

I understand code #7 is the aircon gas pressure. Mine reads 4 hence my EC light coming on, but I wondered what all the others are?

TIA

Here is one list, I'm not sure if it is the same for all cars that have this feature and I don't know the model this is for.

[FONT=&quot]SENSOR VALUE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION
------------------------------------------------------------
Code Cause/Value
01 ............................. In-Car Temperature Sensor
02 ............................ Outside Temperature Sensor
03 ........................ Heater Core Temperature Sensor
05 .................... Evaporator Core Temperature Sensor
06 ................. (1) Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
07 .............................. (2) Refrigerant Pressure
08 ............................ (3) Blower Control Voltage
09 .......... Software Status Of A/C-Heater Control Module
15 ........................... Selected In-Car Temperature
20 ................................. Software Version Code
21 ...................................... (4) Engine Speed
22 .............................. (5) A/C Compressor Speed
23 ......................................... Vehicle Speed
50 ................................ 80.° - 00.° (Not Used)
51 ......... Number Of Actual Drive Belt Slip Recognitions
52 ......... Number Of Actual Drive Belt Slip Recognitions
(1) - A display of "12.°5" corresponds to 125 Celsius (257°F).
(2) - Refrigerant pressure is displayed in bar. One bar equals 14.5037 psi. A display of "12.°8" corresponds to 12.8 bar (185.6 psi).
(3) - A display of "16.°5" corresponds to 1.65 volts.
(4) - A display of "06.°0" to "70.°0" corresponds to 600 RPM to 7000 RPM respectively.
(5) - A display of "00.°0" to "84.°0" corresponds to 0 RPM to 8400 RPM respectively.

I have used the same as renault12ts before, and it all makes sense on my w208.

Edit: I can go outt and check no7 on mine if you want......

Edit again..... code #7 reads 6 on mine

Thanks guys. Going to check what all mine are reading.
 
Hi,
The digital codes and the A/C display unit are meant to give you the same as STAR does, you can clear codes analyse the system sensor readings etc.
Press and hold the the REST button for close to ten seconds and a diagnostic can be performed.

Here's what the codes represent:
01 = In-car temp sensor
02 = outside temp sensor
03 = left heat exchanger (heater core) temp sensor
04 = right heat exchanger sensor
05 = evaporator sensor
06 = coolant temp
07 = refrig. pressure in bar
08 = refrig temp sensor (23*9 = 23.9deg C)
09 = nothing
10 = Blower control voltage (great for evaluating blower controller problems)
11 = emissions sensor (B31) e.g. 3.1 = 31.v
12 = sun sensor 4.2 = 4.2v
20 = aux fan control 6.1 = 6.1ma (max 10ma)
21 = engine speed
22 = vehicle speed
23 = Circuit 58d e.g. 99 = 99% of battery voltage
24 = BATTERY VOLTAGE e.g. 12.5 = 12.5v
30 = left rear air conditioning heat exchanger temp sensor (not all vehicles; obviously)
31 = right side
32 = rear evap temp sensor
33 = blower control voltage rear 0.8(MIN) - 6.0(MAX)
34 = left rear temp selector
35 = right side
38 = software status e.g. 37 rear air conditioning
40 = control module version software status (?)
41 = control module version menu hardware status
42 = control module variant code 1st number
43 = variant code second number.

Slightly different again.

Edit.
23= Circuit 58d is the cars illumination circuit.

No...same as the one I sourced...but visible...thanks.
