Vcds Error Code - 01273 - Fresh Air Blower (v2)

[George106]

Hi all, I have scanned Air con module today and found following error:

 

01273 - Fresh Air Blower (V2)

35-10- Intermittent

 

I can also hear some noise like sticking fan behind climate control module which is quite loud if the blower is switched off. When blower is on the noise is less frequent but still present. Not sure if this is connected in any way with my recent cut/splice/solder job as I fitted programmable timer kit for running aux. heater independently.

 

Could be this caused by failing control module or by anything else? (found some useful info on wiki ross website).

 

Thanks

George

Hi George

Are you sure the noise is not coming from inside the climate control panel as there is a small fan inside it, as for the fault code had you run the heating with the blower disconnected while you were installing your kit as that will have registered a fault.

 

Assuming it's all working OK now hadn't seen you on here for a while

I think the noise is coming from the rear of the climate control module and changed when pressed, so I suspect something rotating is there.

 

Everything is working fine, I had to change ECU on aux heater to sort problem with heater blower and since no problem if I don't mention multiple clicking when switching heater off through timer (ignition off) or when climate control was normally working - heating and switching ignition off. It sometimes clicks once and IMHO it would be caused by lower battery voltage (last time when my old battery was quite discharged / dying and could start engine up there was multi multi multiple clicking because of very low voltage). Now I have new battery which holds charge better but still if I run heater 2 x 30min a day and drive around 40 min a day, battery is not charged fully in this weather.

 

I did not play with disconnecting climate control module as I have managed to delay cabin blower by 10min as mentioned earlier.
