AC compressor VCDS codes

A6 All/ S6 All
#1

I unfortunately have never had working AC in my car since I bought it, so starting the process in tracking down the issue. I believe it to be the compressor, but want to double check before I try to tackle that job. Here is the screenshot from VCDS:

The code that stands out is the 6 in the first box in group 2. This apparently means AC compressor is off, but it is recieving a signal that it is on. Does anyone know if means that the compressor is bad? Or could it be a sensor? Anything else stand out as odd from the screenshot?

Thanks in advance.

Hey spencer I had the same problem the compressor was receiving a signal but was off and I tried everything until i changed the shit. I had this problem after the car went into component protection.

After I had it removed the protection I was having the same problems that you are having now.

The compressor clutch exploded which is why it probably went in went into component protection in the first place but I think you’ll probably need to change the compressor if you did try everything.

Thanks you for the reply. I haven’t tried much besides looking at the values and codes, but I think the compressor will be the culprit as well. Pressure seemes good and temp seems good and not other codes.

Has to be that. The comfort control module isn’t in component protection right? The way you would know is if the interior lights work if the car is on
