Hi,
Firstly, I so pleased to have found this forum. THank you to the admins for approving my request.
I'm hoping that someone here has the knowledge to help me out of a painful issue with my Accord.
It's a 2009 Accord Tourer, 2.2 idtec ES GT.
I need to run a forced regen. I've done it before with DELPHI diagnostic software and it sorted the car out for a few months.
Since then, it seems that the clutch on the A/C compressor has packed up. It's really stiff, even with the engine off. I ***ume it should be free running.
The dashboard light says on or off as it should when I press the A/C button.
But one of the parameters that needs to be met before it will allow the regen to go ahead is A/C on, and the DELPHI is showing it as off, regardless of the switch setting.
So - I ***ume that something in the car senses the state of the A/C compressor. I'm kind of hoping it's a voltage coming from one of the wires to the compressor, but I'm guessing - grasping at straws.
If anyone knows exactly what the car senses to tell it the A/C is working and ideally if there is a way to trick this wire/sensor/whatever it is into thinking its on. I would be beyond grateful. I can't find a second hand pump and a new one is very expensive, on top of the likely need to replace the DPF soon. THanks in advance. Kenny
