This is regarding my e30 A/C.
i have this error code 85 in my DME constantly. It's been more than 2 years since this error remains in DME memory and resetting doesn't make it go away. I don't know what the mechanic did to my a/c. i would like to have this error removed entirely. but the mechanic is not willing to tell me how to do it nor is he willing to do this I did this in another city that is far away. I believe he did some illegal short cut resulting in this error!
=========================
Details of error on diagnostics says that:
- no increase in idle speed even thought air conditioning compressor is running
- open circuit at pin 86 od DME control unit
- short circuit to battery positive at pin 85 of the DNME control unit
Fault Information

If not ok: check wire to DME control unit pin 85
Set temperature control wheels to WARM and switch off defroster, recirculated air or air conditioning switch.

===================================
Can you advise me what's wrong and how to restore it? Did he do something to my A/C relay? Has anyone used e36m42 engine in e30 and solved the a/c problem properly?
The engine stalls occasionally when idling. not sure if there is something to do with this .
Thank you.
