Getz AC Control Unit Defective

My 2003 Hyundai Getz (gasoline engine) AC is completely dead. I've got 114749 km on the clock. The air conditioning system doesn't switch on, and the warning light in the speedometer is on. The system threw an error that's now stored. Could it be a refrigerant leak? Is it the vehicle HVAC or the auto AC repair that needs fixing? Any ideas?

The 2003 Hyundai Getz's air conditioning system was completely non-functional, with a warning light on the speedometer and an error stored in the system. The initial suspicion was a refrigerant leak, but it was suggested to check the AC control unit. Upon further inspection at a workshop, the issue was confirmed to be a defective AC control unit, which was then replaced to restore functionality.

I had a similar issue with my Getz. Are you sure the compressor is getting power? Have you checked the AC control unit? In my case, that was the culprit.

The AC control unit, huh? Interesting. How did you figure that out? Was it just a process of elimination, or did you have some telltale signs? Did you also get the speedometer warning light with refrigerant leak?

Confirmed: it was indeed the AC control unit. I suggest you take it to a workshop to get it checked out. Replacing it can be tricky, and you don't want to mess up the whole system.

Thanks a bunch! I took it to the shop, and you were spot on – the AC control unit was defective! Cost me 980€ to get it sorted, but at least I have cold air again. Appreciate the help!
