No DTCs are stored in the heating and air conditioning electronics control module, J255. The technical diagnosis reveals that there is no refrigerant in the circuit. The refrigerant hose that connects the suction side of the compressor to the condenser is found to be damaged, as the rubber portion of the hose is making contact with the compressor pulley. A production issue with the assembly gauge used during assembly of the hose was found. This issue caused the hose to be assembled with an incorrect geometry. As a result, the lie intended to keep the hose away from the air conditioning compressor pulley was compromised.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10123723-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10123723-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10123723","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null},{"id":"hvac","name":"Heating and air conditioning","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"AUDI","model":"Q3","year_from":2015,"year_to":2016,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2015_audi_q3","2016_audi_q3"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
