Description
The compressor power index is lower than expected, which typically indicates a condition affecting the compressor. This can also indicate a condition affecting the discharge or suction pressure sensors. The compressor power index measures the ratio of estimated nominal compressor power consumption against electrical power the compressor actually consumes. A low index value indicates the compressor is drawing / consuming significantly more power than a nominal compressor would be expected to consume.
Condition
The compressor power index, which compares expected compressor power consumption against actual consumption, drops below expected levels.
Clear Condition
Clears automatically after the first 30 seconds of each drive cycle, while the condition persists and alert continues to set.
Potential Impact
Thermal system may show reduced effectiveness. Cabin climate control performance may be limited, with cabin heating / cooling not performing at expected levels.
Customer Facing Message 1
