Turn the ignition off, press and hold both the AUTO and DUAL buttons, then eitherf2raf said:Happy to do it but need some step by step instructions how to go about it and takedown the readings please.
that's a good start, as I say, I think it should range from 10 to 15 in normal operation (which I also think is Bar)Bounder said:I just took mine, Sensor 10 was reading 12 with the Aircon running, didn't think to check with it off.
crikey it was hot in your car (sensor 1 = 42)f2raf said:1,42
2,25
3,16
4,36
5, 28 and then down to 11 with engine on
6, c9
7, 02
8, 00
9, d5
10, 15,16 with engine and AC on
yes it suggests that there's not enough gas in the system (could be a leak somewhere) or a faulty compressor (with a leak in the seals)Grayedout said:This one reading says mine is running low on pressure!
Hi,freddofrog said:there's an inbuilt diagnostic system for the aircon (on both 7th and 8th gens)
see this guide (the 7th gen guide)
http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/21770-blowing-hot-and-cold-air/?p=230336
the first 9 "sensors" are the same on both 7th gen petrols and on the diesel, but on the latter there is a 10th "sensor" not shown in the guide, which reads the pressure in the system
play about with the inbuilt diagnostic and it will help you to evaluate what is working and what is not working e.g. if all temperature sensors are good, and the 10th "sensor" (pressure) is giving reasonable values, yet the 5th "sensor" (evaporator temp) is warm, then this indicates a perished condenser - if you take the car along the A610 at 60 mph and the aircon starts blowing cold, it confirms a perished condenser
it's in the 8th gen section, in a thread with the same ***le as this threadaccord1108 said:Hi,
Do you have the guide for the 8th generation?
not my area really, best to start a new thread on thismwahab said:Hi all,
Sorry to hijack the thread but I didn't see a point in starting a new one when I have a similar issue.
I have a 2003 Accord Tourer 2.0 Petrol, had my AC compressor look like it just lunched itself. Stupidly I sprayed some water on each of the pulleys to try and diagnose where the grinding noise was come from, but instead experienced a shower of sparks as the water got into the pulley bearings...
Has anyone, first of all manged to find a shorter drive belt to bypass the AC compressor, if you have what length or part no did you have? And has anyone found out what compressor is fitted to 7th gen Accords? I think mine is a Keihin HS110R but no sure if there are variances.
that would probably fit on the 2.4 as well, but that's not a Honda part number, got any more info on where from ?mwahab said:If anyone needs to bypass the AC compressor on a 2.0 petrol, I used belt part no PK1385 which is doing the job.
Could be a plan to allow me to remove the compressor and see if it can be repaired !mwahab said:If anyone needs to bypass the AC compressor on a 2.0 petrol, I used belt part no PK1385 which is doing the job.
It was actually p/n 7PK1385, meaning it's a 7 rib belt 1385mm in length. I got it from my local motor factors, It took 3 trips to find the correct belt as it's hard to account for tension when you are measuring from scratch. I used this pic from CLub RSX to work out the route the belt needs to follow.freddofrog said:that would probably fit on the 2.4 as well, but that's not a Honda part number, got any more info on where from ?
Yeah i already changed the belt last month to remove the extra idler gear so I have a 14mm spanner that I cut the head off so I could get a bar over itmwahab said:I think you will be OK with that belt, make sure you can fully pull back the tensioner as its pretty tight. I used a 14mm spanner and some metal tubing over the open ended part of the spanner to give me leverage. A breaker bar or socket won't fit as its too tight of a gap.
Oh sorry, I noticed that you have a 2.2 CDTi, mine is a 2.0 Petrol so the belt will be completely different!Grayedout said:Yeah i already changed the belt last month to remove the extra idler gear so I have a 14mm spanner that I cut the head off so I could get a bar over it
