OBD Channel 52 - A/C Compressor switch-off codes

If an A/C compressor switch-off condition exists, a segment of the "88.8" display, indicated below as an alpha-numeric code, will illuminate. 
 

Segment	Condition
a1	Slippage or blockage, A/C Refrigerant High Pressure Switch, 120x off
b1	Engine Speed (RPM) less than 200 - 500
c1	Engine Speed (RPM) greater than 6000
d1	Engine Speed (RPM) greater than 6000
e1	System function OK
f1	System function OK
a2	A/C manually switched off (A/C standby canceled)
b2	low voltage
c2	Kick-down switch, compressor off for 12secs max.
d2	Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) warning light switched
e2	A/C Refrigerant Low Pressure Switch (F73)
f2	A/C Refrigerant High Pressure Switch (F118)
a3	ECON mode selected
b3	OFF selected
c3	Outside (ambient) temperature too low
d3	Engine management system (compressor will remain off for 3 -12 seconds)
e3	High pressure occurrences more than 30 times
f3	Ambient Temperature Sensor at Fresh Air Blower (G109) less than 27 degF (-3 degC)
