Nissan Cube AC control unit failure

Good day. I am writing to inquire about a potential issue with my 2012 Nissan Cube diesel. The vehicle has approximately 193903 km. I am experiencing a failure of the refrigerant compressor. Symptoms include an error stored in the error memory, the air conditioning no longer cools, the air conditioning system does not switch on, and a warning light is illuminated in the speedometer. Based on my initial assessment, the likely cause is a defective air conditioning control unit. Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

Hey there! I've got a Nissan Cube too, though I can't remember what year it is right now. Your symptoms sound awfully familiar. My AC started acting up last summer – basically doing nothing. Did you check the refrigerant levels at all? That was the first thing I looked at, but it didn't fix the problem.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your input. Regarding your question, yes, I did check the refrigerant levels. They appear to be within the normal range. Can you elaborate on what the issue was with your Cube, and how you resolved it?

Okay, so mine ended up being a bit of a headache. It was the AC control unit, just like you suspect. The mechanic said it was faulty and needed replacing. Honestly, I'd suggest getting it checked out by a professional, especially if you've already checked the refrigerant. It's probably beyond a simple fix.

I appreciate you confirming that the AC control unit was the problem. Based on your recommendation, I took the vehicle to a certified workshop. The diagnosis confirmed a defective air conditioning control unit. The repair cost 980€ Thank you for your assistance.
