Climatronic Secret menu and self diagnosis

[mty12345]

Just dug this out to help someone with an A/c issue. Thought i'd post it here as a seperate post to make it easier to find in future.

To enter the menu.

Press and hold the recirculation button. Then press the manual flow control up arrow. You should see a 1c. Press the temperature up ("+") or down ("-") buttons to select a menu number. Then press the recirculation button again to select the item to display. Press the temperature up or down button again to display another code etc.....You exit by pressing hold the recirculation button, then press the manual flow control up arrow.

This is a list of the menu:

14 Specified value of Footwell/Defroster Flap
15 Digital value of Air Flow Flap Motor Potentiometer (G 113)
16 Specified value of Air Flow Flap
17 Vehicle Speed (km/h)
18 Actual Air Blower voltage (Volts)
19 Specified Fresh Air Blower voltage (Volts)

22 Cycle condition of A/C Refrigerant High Pressure Switch (F 118)
23 Cyclings of the A/C Refrigerant High Pressure Switch (F 118)
24 Cyclings of the switches, absolute non-fluctuating
25 Analog/Digital value, Kick-Down Switch
26 Analog/Digital value, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Warning Light
27 Engine Speed (RPM)
28 N/A
29 A/C Compressor speed in rpm (Equals Engine Speed x 1.28
30 Software version
31 N/A
32 Potentiometer malfunction counter, Temperature Regulator Flap
33 Potentiometer malfunction counter, Central Flap
34 Potentiometer malfunction counter, Footwell/Defroster Flap

37 Feedback value, hot end-stop, Temperature Regulator Flap Motor Potentiometer (G 92), max. stop
38 Feedback value, cold end-stop, Central Flap Motor Potentiometer (G 112)
39 Feedback value, hot end-stop, Central Flap Motor Potentiometer (G 112)

42 Feedback value, cold end-stop, Air Flow Map Motor Potentiometer (G 113)
43 Feedback value, hot end-stop, Air Flow Map Motor Potentiometer (G 113)
44 Vehicle operation cycle counter
45 Calculated interior temperature (internal software, in digits)
46 Outside (ambient) temperature, filtered, for regulation (internal software)
47 Outside (ambient) temperature, unfiltered, (internal software, in deg C)
48 Outside (ambient) temperature, unfiltered, (in digits)
49 Malfunction counter for speedometer (vehicle speed) signal
50 Standing time (in minutes)
51 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) in deg C
52 Graphics channel 1 - A/C compressor switch-off conditions are identified by illuminated segments of the display

Should be stickied in the how to section

51 is a bit of a con. It's just a timer showing theoretical temperature up to 90, not actual temperature.

Yeah i should have mentioned that, that's a good point. I believe if the CTS sensor fails, this is the data that the ECU uses.

51 is somewhat misleading. It’s essentially just a timer displaying a theoretical temperature up to 90, rather than showing the actual temperature.

I did not know that! Thanks for highlighting as I’d been using it as a reference.
Any other way to see the temp rather than the dash temp gauge?
