Anyone have more information on Compressor code 12?
Backstory:
Started having AC issues last Fall (code 00819).. replaced the High Pressure sensor (What the original VCDS code said), no dice. Chased the issue.. replaced the RCV on the compressor, and the AC control unit in the dash.. never fixed the issue.
Fast forward to now and I'm revisiting this issue.. found a crashed 2006 Jetta TDI and bought the compressor off it.. replaced the compressor, Same high pressure code, so I replaced the sensor again (replacing the new one I bought last year). This fixed the 00819 High Pressure sensor code!
AC shop filled the Freon and everything.. now I'm getting a code 12 = Compressor OFF: Shut-Off requested by Engine Control. No fault codes...
The compressor I replaced mine with was not an identical part. Even though it was off the same year/make/model jetta. Both compressors are Sanden. The original had a C-clip to remove the RSV valve, this one does not.
Does the compressor version make a difference?
Called O'rileys auto parts and they only have one version, so I'm leaning towards no..
I do not know the source of my AC control unit - bought off ebay. It has the exact same buttons though, Climatic with heated seats.
Sometimes I will see a code saying Refrigerant pressure too low, however the shop said they filled it to spec..

Thoughts? What can cause a code 12?

Verified VCDS User
Hmm, 12 is usually a 'fleeting' code; it is a shut-off command from the ECU when it requires the engine to provide its highest power or torque. On my old Audi A4 (B5 8D model) you could only see code 12 during a log session when accelerating pretty hard.
On the old 'B5, before messages being sent over CAN; there was a dedicated pair of wires from the ECU to the HVAC head which sent this shutdown signal. It's worth checking what your setup uses with Wiring Diagrams and checking the integrity of those wires if you have them.

Update:
Replaced the AC control panel in the dash with the Original one from the car - A/C Started working!
It initially threw a code for Low pressure, however I cleared that and it didnt come back.
I drove ~3 hours, mostly at highway speeds yesterday, with working AC. It was 75+ degrees outside.
Today, (55 degrees outside, Ohio right?) I took it back to the shop I have been working with, and they could not get the A/C to turn on. it is giving a constant Code of 299, Low Pressure. The Compressor Cutoff code is 3.
When I check it with VCDS, the Pressure Sensor is showing 0.0 bars, with the car off or running - doesn't matter. My research says that means absolute Vacuum? What would that point to?

"
2012 and newer Jetta sedans may have a customer concern of A/C shutting off when coming to a stop. When checking the HVAC controller for the Compressor Shut off code, [12- Shut-Off requested by Engine Control] maybe found, this is usually considered normal, the ECM is programmed to command the HVAC controller to shut off the compressor to allow increased engine rpm/vacuum when braking, mostly when the engine is cold, pre-catalyst operating temperature."
I have this problem on a 2012 jetta is it possible to code the 'shutting down' out? Thanks.

Believe it or not a CAN com error or disruption from cluster or bad cluster on BUS can cause this and with no error especially if someone was handy with China Town tools!
In this case the radio is shooting a CAN error and because it tries to store and make a handshake for the cluster + PIN to authenticate it this may cause the issue.
Sometimes I run an isolated twisted pair from cluster to climate control and bam AC is back in business.
A flaky gateway can also cause this issue.

Thanks for the reply but I did not make myself very clear this happens only for a few seconds at the time of braking unfortunately the ambient temperature is so high here that it makes a lot of difference.

With the code 08 (outside temperature too cold) what is the sensor to fix? Have the outside temperature (filtered) at 0 Celsius. Where's the sensor?

Hello DrPeter, I hope you are well.
In a UK forum (Briskoda.net) the question came up recently of what a G65 sensor will read when the refrigerant is all gone (i.e. the system is at atmospheric pressure). My gut feeling was that this situation was consistent with what he was seeing - a MVB reading of 0.0 bar. The guy came back with the quote from your post here about expecting a 1 bar reading at atmospheric pressure.
"Important to note about the G65 sensor:
- A reading of 0.0 bar would indicate an absolute vacuum
- At Sea Level (atmospheric pressure) the typical reading is 1.0 bar"
I've just checked with a new sensor plugged into the loom connection of a known working system, and see a reading of 0.0 bar with the sensor in free air. So I think the above quote may not be right?
This page [http://www.vwgolf.org/checking_pressures-1515.html] seems to state similar things to what you've summarised, but I think it is actually saying that G65 reads positive/gauge pressure rather than absolute, because of the reference to agreement with the figures in the table, which are in 'positive pressure' scale?
What do you think?
Cheers,
Pete

Good info here. My 2011 A4 problem was the G395 sensor too. Here’s what I saw:
- AC light on console would not stay on
- No compressor, no cold air
- Got a code for G395 Upper Limit Exceeded - Intermittent 29.3 bar
- An hour later, I saw G395 Lower Limit Exceeded – 0.0 bar (absolute pressure)
- Later G395 codes just said ERROR
- Pin 1 I had continuity to ground
- Pin 2 saw 9+ volts with the motor running
- Pin 3 saw battery voltage with motor running.
Hard to believe the 0.0 absolute pressure. That’s a perfect vacuum. Especially after the Upper Limit Exceeded code earlier that day.
After I swapped for the new G395 (updated part is 4H0 959 126 B), my VCDS showed about 12.9 bar instead of the "ERROR" reading I'd gotten the last 2 days. But the AC button still wouldn't turn on, and I had different error, 03023 Running-in Requirement 005 - No or Incorrect Basic Setting / Adaptation. The good news is that I had a pressure reading.
I went into 08-Auto/HVAC>Basic Settings>Compressor Run-In/Cooling check. Then click ON/Run. Heard the compressor spin right up and the radiator fans spooled up...cold air from the dash. Took a minute of that before it said "Performed" and the HVAC shut off on the dash. Turned it back on at the dashboard and have had cold air now.

Hi all,
I have an issue with the AC of my 2012 2.5L Beetle. I am trying to narrow down where this might be coming from and I hope you guys can shed me some light. I got the car used over a year ago and the dealer confirmed it got Low Freon so they had to recharge it before passing State Inspection. When I was doing road test on the car, I experienced problems with the AC too but I did not think it is a problem. Symptoms are:
1. When starting the car in hot weather, it is slow for the AC to blow cold and it can blow Hot air for a while until the engine reaches around Operating Temp. Or this is at least how I feel it is doing.
2. The AC is manual so I always set it to the last level before Max A/C. It is blowing cold air (not super cold) but around 20C something or less when I injected a thermostat into the air vent. However, it can intermittently stop blowing cold air when driving on low RPM or stopping at a stop sign or stop-and-go traffic. You can feel that the fan is circulating only regular air through the vent making the cabin hotter. After a while, it resumes blowing cold air ==> Might it be because the compressor is freezing?
3. When driving on high-way or with Sports mode (high rpm), it blows cold air consistently.
4. I plugged a VagCom into my car. There there was a Meas Block on Engine called A/C Readiness and it always reported as Low. I have no idea what it means. Other than that, there are no other fault codes that I can find (confirming using Auto Scan)
I got my car AC checked at one of the Jiffy Lube place and the technician said my AC was fine although he said there was a missing cap on the Low or the High side.
I have Vag Com but I dont know what I should look into to confirm my issues. I also read the post here and I am not sure if my car is functioning by design. Does my car AC have a slow leak somewhere based on the information below?
"2012 and newer Jetta sedans may have a customer concern of A/C shutting off when coming to a stop. When checking the HVAC controller for the Compressor Shut off code, [12- Shut-Off requested by Engine Control] maybe found, this is usually considered normal, the ECM is programmed to command the HVAC controller to shut off the compressor to allow increased engine rpm/vacuum when braking, mostly when the engine is cold, pre-catalyst operating temperature."
Can it be due to the Compressor Regulator as described in here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94dR...index=17&t=0s?
