Symptom Chart

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover, 2017 Land Rover Range Rover, 2016 Land Rover Range Rover, 2015 Land Rover Range Rover, and 2014 Land Rover Range Rover. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSES ACTION
No refrigerant in air conditioning system (no pressure registered on gauges)
  • Refrigerant leak
Air conditioning compressor clutch not engaging
  • Air conditioning compressor clutch circuit short circuit to ground, short circuit to power, open circuit, high resistance
  • Refrigerant undercharged
  • Using the manufacturer approved diagnostic system, check the automatic temperature control module for related DTCs and refer to the relevant DTC index
  • GO to PINPOINT TEST B .
  • Retest, if fault persists GO to PINPOINT TEST H .
Air conditioning inoperative (no change in pressure when setting the air conditioning to on)
  • Climate control system fault
  • Air conditioning compressor internal failure
  • Using the manufacturer approved diagnostic system, check the automatic temperature control module for related DTCs and refer to the relevant DTC index
  • GO to PINPOINT TEST C .
Air conditioning operates briefly and then switches off
  • Electric cooling fan inoperative
  • Air conditioning condenser airflow obstructed
  • Refrigerant overcharged
  • Check the operation of the electric cooling fan
  • Check the air conditioning condenser for external obstructions
  • Using the manufacturer approved equipment, recover the refrigerant. Evacuate and recharge the air conditioning system with the correct quantity of refrigerant and oil
High and low pressure system pressures unstable 
  • Refrigerant contaminated
  • Air conditioning compressor internal failure
High and low pressure system pressures normal  and insufficient cooling
  • Excessive volume of oil in the refrigerant or refrigerant contaminated
  • Using the manufacturer approved equipment, recover the refrigerant. Evacuate and recharge the air conditioning system with the correct quantity of refrigerant and oil
High and low pressure system pressures too high 
  • Electric cooling fan inoperative
  • Air conditioning condenser airflow obstructed
  • Thermostatic expansion valve internal failure
  • Refrigerant overcharged
  • Air conditioning compressor internal failure
High and low pressure system pressures too low 
  • Refrigerant undercharged
  • Low pressure pipe damaged/restricted
Low pressure system pressure too high  and high pressure system pressure too low 
  • Air conditioning compressor electronic control valve circuit short circuit to ground, short circuit to power, open circuit, high resistance
  • Air conditioning compressor electronic control valve internal failure
Low pressure system pressure too low  and high pressure system pressure too high  and frost present on the low pressure liquid pipe to the condenser
  • Low pressure liquid pipe restricted
  • Receiver drier restricted
  • Check the low pressure liquid pipe for damage and restrictions. Install a new pipe as necessary
  • Install a new receiver drier as necessary
Noise from air conditioning system
  • Air conditioning compressor pulley bearing
  • Air conditioning compressor pulley foul condition
  • Air conditioning compressor clutch operation excessively noisy
  • Air conditioning compressor internal failure
  • Thermostatic expansion valve internal failure
  • Refrigerant undercharged
  • Refrigerant overcharged
  • Air conditioning pipe(s) fouling body
