A/C Compressor Switches On Frequently
SERVICE INFORMATION
If you encounter instances in the above models where the air conditioning compressor as well as the mirror heaters switch on with an increased frequency, replace the multifunction sensor for activated charcoal filter. The increased frequency of operation is a result of an incorrectly calibrated multifunction sensor sending erroneous values over the CAN bus.
