The "Planar" autonomy is an air heater developed by Russian specialists, which is manufactured in Samara. The range of these car heaters consists of four devices (Planar 2D, Planar 4DM2, Planar 44D, Planar 8DM), each of which is available in two versions - 12 and 24 Volts. Even in severe frosts, such an installation can provide an optimal air temperature in the vehicle interior. First, we will briefly consider the device and the principle of operation of the heater, and then we will study all the Planar errors (fault codes) and their decoding.
Autonomous heaters "Planar" are equipped with a power regulator and a timer. The installation can work autonomously at all stages. The electronics starts the ignition only if the various components are in good working order and the required conditions are met. Therefore, you should not worry about the safety of using the device.
Heaters from this manufacturer operate on the principle of supplying outside air to the heating compartment. During the combustion of fuel, energy is released that heats this air. Only then is hot air supplied to the vehicle interior.
To select the optimal power, a special regulator is used with the ability to be fixed in a given position. After the user selects the optimal operating mode, the heater will independently maintain the set temperature.
We decided to publish the Planar autonomous system malfunction codes in the form of four tables. A specific heater model is indicated in front of each of them, which will help you understand what the problem is in your case.
The Planar air heating device manufactured in Samara is very popular. If there is not enough warmth in the car, it is an indispensable assistant, even in the most severe winter domestic weather. In the cabin of a small passenger model or a spacious van, the driver and passengers become as comfortable as possible in a short time period.
The operation of the device is based on a simple principle - drawing the surrounding air masses inside the heating chamber. When the fuel burns, heat energy is released. It is directed to heating the air, which then enters the interior of the passenger compartment.
One of the advantages of the planar heater is the ability to adjust the heating power. For this, the device has a special knob on the regulator, which can be easily turned and set to the desired position.
Having set the desired power value, there is no need to interfere with the further operation of the device. It will be monitored automatically:
The Planar heater device includes not only a power regulator in the form of a rotary knob, but also a timer. The latter is necessary in order to turn off the installation after prolonged work.
The device is designed in such a way as to make the work autonomous in all aspects. Automation also monitors the current state of each work item located inside. The ignition process begins only when the control element is convinced that all components are in good working order. Thus, a very high level of safety during operation is achieved.
In order for the resulting flame to remain within the normal range, it is monitored by a corresponding indicator. If the temperature limit is exceeded, the control unit will stop burning.
Despite the high level of automation, shutdown of the device is supported in manual mode. The combustion chamber begins to ventilate. The fuel supply is completely cut off.

Some features of the Planar heater device
Typically, fuel enters the combustion chamber of the appliance directly from the vehicle's fuel tank. However, this option is not the only one possible. Sometimes the device has its own container, into which the fuel necessary for operation is poured.
The power supply is arranged by analogy. The planar heater is powered directly from the car battery.
The number of components of the heating device is huge, but among them there are three main elements:
Control panel or block - necessary to control the operation of the device as a whole
Fuel pump - needed to supply the required amount of fuel to the storage chamber
Heating element - air is heated in it, which subsequently enters the car interior
You may also be interested in our article about electric heating.
Of course, the Planar heating device is very useful and irreplaceable in cold winters. However, many motorists do not risk installing it, as they are afraid of incorrect operation in emergency situations.
The engineers took into account all possible features of the device's operation in various conditions. Let's consider some of them:
The operation of the heater is constantly monitored by the automatics. If it is defective, the warning LED (orange or red) lights up
The device will not allow the heat exchanger to overheat - in such a situation, it will turn off
There may be cases when the combustion stops for spontaneous reasons - in such situations, the automatic shutdown of the installation also occurs.
As a result of an unsuccessful start of the heating equipment, the automation will make several repeated starts. If each of them fails, a fault warning will be issued.
Constant power surges can be very unsafe. The control unit will ensure the operability of the device only in situations where it does not go beyond the normal range:
Onboard voltage 12 V (device 4DM-12) - from 10.5 V to 16 V
Onboard voltage 24 V (device 4DM-24) - from 20.5 V to 30 V
Overheating is often caused by improper installation of equipment. It occurs when the inlet and outlet of the heater have been blocked.
Among car owners, especially truckers, who spend most of their time on the road, the planar heater deservedly receives a lot of positive reviews. Domestic development, in comparison with imported counterparts, is reliable, but less expensive.
A large number of positive characteristics are distinguished:
By inserting the air vents into the cargo hold, the entire vehicle can be heated, not just the driver's cabin.
Even at significantly low temperatures (less than -20 degrees), their efficiency remains at a very high level.
Saves fuel and battery life
Sufficient power indicator
Unlimited installation runtime
The planar heater is widely used in cars used to transport medicines, drinks, animals, process fluids, etc. They are actively used by drivers of kuguns, cranes and other special equipment.
To use the Planar heating unit, it is not necessary to start the car engine. This makes it possible to continue to operate it during the overnight stay.
Several models are offered on the market, each of which is characterized by its inherent features. However, the most popular among them is the Planar-4dm 24 model. Its installation is possible not only in large vans, but also in cabins, booths, etc. During operation, the heating device practically does not emit noise.
One of the main aspects of using the Planar heater is compliance with safety regulations. Let's consider the most significant rules:
If the device has been turned off, it is allowed to turn it back on only after 10 seconds.
Do not turn off power during the purge cycle.
The heater must be disconnected from the mains if the body is being welded
It is recommended to turn off the device when refueling the car.
Do not use the heater indoors.
Having installed such a device, it is necessary to have a bucket of sand nearby and a working fire extinguisher
It is forbidden to lay fuel pipes inside the passenger compartment, however, they must be reliably insulated outside.
In the event of a breakdown, it is not recommended to repair the equipment yourself.
Everyone is able to install a planar heater independently. However, for greater confidence in its subsequent reliability and performance, it is recommended to entrust this process to a professional. The cost of services is relatively low and significantly lower than the cost of possible restoration or repair.
The considered device for heating cars in the winter or small, but necessarily well-ventilated rooms (gatehouse, change house, etc.) is in demand. However, without looking at the many benefits, cost can be a bit of a hurdle. Average prices for various models start at 18 thousand rubles.
As mentioned earlier, the installation of heating equipment can be done independently. In order to save time and for greater reliability, you should contact a specialist whose service cost starts from 5-6 thousand rubles.
Here's a thing: the car has been standing for a year already, it naturally clogged and smoked, cleaned it, put it back in place, we start it, but it does not start, as it thought with white smoke and smokes, due to errors, the peephole blinks 2 times. It is either there is no fuel or there is a problem with the air pipes, but there is no problem with either. The exhaust pipe was also covered in soot, cleaned. Who faced such a problem?
Found the reason for the glow plug! When dialing, it gave the resistance of a new candle when 15 volts were connected, it heated up by 2 mm and started to smoke, i.e. completely burned out.
Thank you, but about the side holes, I explained a little differently. Here are these holes from the inside, why are they needed:
Or does this shell have to be pulled out after installing the mesh? If not, then when you insert the mesh, how should they be positioned in relation to the fuel inlet, was it not for nothing that they were made? The entire burner was changed 2 months ago. the fungus inside the burner has fallen off. Now they were dismantling everything clean there, the feed is easily blown through. Only here the mesh did not want to crawl out under any circumstances, I did not apply force, tk.there was no new mesh. If the new burner comes with a mesh, then the mesh is also 2 months old. The fuel supply remains, the consumption was not checked in two cycles, so we looked at what was splashing and that's it. They write that these pumps are of shitty quality and after a year they can be changed, tk. the plunger is worn out. By the way, after everything was collected, a liter of gasoline was poured into the tank for half a tank of diesel fuel (the temperature outside was about 0 degrees) and the autonomy began to warm up better. Although on the same diesel fuel, I cooked half the night as expected. The pump could not suddenly die. Before that, I worked without problems for a year after installation. And another question, did I see somewhere that with a mesh in the kit comes a plastic strap for pressing, is it like that or does it have to be bought separately?

Waiting for many hours in a car in a traffic jam or, worse, spending the night in an open field in the cold, inevitably leads to the thought that an autonomous interior heater is by no means a whim of a hunter-fisherman or an attribute of a professional driver's RV.
In cold or slightly frosty weather, every hour we warm up the engine to a more or less comfortable temperature of 60-70 degrees. At -20 ° C, you have to warm up every 35-40 minutes at medium speed so that the battery does not die. If an additional electric pump was installed on the stove, we use the warmed-up motor as an autonomous heat source. Depending on the level of interior insulation and air temperature, the engine cools down in 2-3 hours, the car interior - twice as fast.
After 6 hours of waiting, there is a risk of being left with an empty tank and a discharged battery. In search of protection from the impending cold, the driver is ready to buy or make an autonomous interior heater with his own hands. The situation encourages thinking about the advantages of an additional autonomous heater for the car's interior better than any advertisement.
It should be admitted that the standard equipment and equipment of the car do not dispose to long-term parking in the cold. When buying a car, few people want to spend money on additional equipment of the car with a potentially unnecessary unit. But reality makes its own adjustments. The standard version of heating the passenger compartment is good only on the move. The operation of the car engine as a heater for the passenger compartment is ineffective, 95% of the heat escapes into the pipe.
Modern designs of an auxiliary heater for heating use the following options:
the heat of the air streams flowing around the hot heat exchanger heated by the flame of the internal burner device, this option is called an autonomous air heater for the passenger compartment;
the classic version is the heating of the air by the surface of the heat exchanger, through which an additional amount of the coolant heated to a relatively low temperature is pumped;
heating with an electric coil made of metal alloy, ceramic element or special metallized carbon fiber fabric.
Leader in the selection of professional drivers.The cost of purchasing and installing an autonomous air heater is approximately half the cost of fuel used to warm up the passenger compartment during a year of operation of the tractor.
The device and design of an air autonomous interior heater is, in general terms, akin to a primitive starting heater. Unlike the latter, the autonomous heater uses air for heating and is installed directly in the cab or the car interior.
The heat generated by the combustion of a small amount of fuel in the combustion chamber is transferred through an aluminum heat exchanger to the air flow, which is forced into the passenger compartment by a low-noise fan. Combustion products are discharged through a metal heat-resistant hose outside the cabin. The fuel is stored in a tank located, as a rule, on the rear wall of the tractor cab. A control panel and an air intake regulator are installed in the cabin. On average, an autonomous device consumes 200 ml of fuel per hour with a battery load of 40-50W. Thermal power ranges from 2 to 7 kW / h.
Modern mainline trucks and heavy construction equipment are equipped with a 24-volt diesel autonomous interior heater, which is associated with the peculiarity of the fuel used and the voltage of the on-board network. In American tractors, the supply voltage of light vehicles is used, therefore, an autonomous heater for the passenger compartment of diesel power supply 12 volts is installed.
The most authoritative and respected are diesel autonomous heaters of the passenger compartment Airtronic (Eberspacher) and Air Top ST (Webasto). German quality, trouble-free operation and convenient operation correspond to high prices for products. Among the advantages of branded autonomous heaters:
high build quality;
availability of programmable operating modes;
the ability to launch at a distance of more than 1000 m from the car.
Among the Russian models, it is worth mentioning the own development of the Samara company "Teplostar" - an autonomous heater for the interior of the Planar. At a low cost, it is distinguished by its unpretentiousness and reliability. It uses diesel fuel and is manually operated from the remote control in the car interior. The "Planar -4D" heater model, consuming 0.12-0.4 liters of diesel per hour, is capable of heating the interior of a bus with 30 seats.
It should be noted that diesel and gasoline autonomous interior heaters have a serious competitor - a gas heater for a car's interior, which uses natural gas or propane-butane as fuel. It is worth noting the autonomous cabin heating devices of the German developer - the Trumatic company, whose products are different:
the quietest, virtually silent operating mode,
high efficiency - 97%;
complete absence of the smell of combustion products typical for diesel fuel.
Gasoline autonomous heaters are mainly used in low temperatures and severe frosts in the northern climatic zone.
With the outward simplicity of the heating principle, an air autonomous heater can hardly be considered as an additional heater for the passenger compartment, available for do-it-yourself manufacture. In the conditions of homemade production, it is almost very difficult to fulfill the requirements:
to the quality of welding of elements, taking into account the specifics of the heat load and deformation of the mating elements;
to the reliability of control systems required for the operation of an autonomous heater;
to prevent deviations from the specified combustion mode, the formation of a large amount of carbon monoxide, the burning out of the chamber walls and, as a result, the mixing of combustion products and heated air;
to ensure control of the start-up procedure without the risk of fire.
The classic version of the autonomous heater is a scheme when two circuits are simultaneously assembled in the heating device - an engine antifreeze heating circuit and a heat exchanger for the coolant sent to the cab heating system.
There are options for an autonomous heating system with minor modifications that have a connected insulated tank or a hot water tank in the interior heating system. Such a boiler plays the role of both a heat accumulator and a hot water source. An additional pump pumps and heats the tank operating in boiler mode. Such an autonomous heater is most often used for mobile living quarters - mobile homes.
An electric autonomous heater, colloquially referred to as a "hair dryer", is used to quickly warm up the passenger compartment at low air temperatures. If your car has a battery with a capacity of at least 75 Ah, use an electric heater for the interior of the car, which is structurally a 12-volt analogue of a hair dryer, with the difference that instead of 220 V home power, a voltage of 12 V battery and generator is used. car. African heat in the cabin should not be expected, but during the warming up of the car's stove to the desired 70-80 ° C, such a car interior heater, powered by a cigarette lighter, is indispensable if you urgently need to warm up the lock or remove frost from frozen glass.
low thermal power and heating rate;
the need for a "healthy" and fully charged storage battery and a working generator.
the heating element of the "hair dryer" heats up to a high temperature and partially burns the oxygen in the air in the cabin.
Handling the heater requires care to prevent the possible ingress of flammable substances on the heating element.
An autonomous electric heater for a car interior is easiest to make with your own hands using an electric fan powered by a cigarette lighter.
The most common and affordable heater design is a circuit consisting of a 12-volt fan-cooler used in power supplies and cooling systems for computers and a heating panel. The latter is made in the form of a frame or tube from a non-combustible and dielectric material. Elements of covers and cases of powerful electric starters made of PCB or fiberglass are suitable.
Alternatively, a nichrome spiral stretched on special mounting ceramic chips can be used as a heating element for an autonomous heater. In this case, the panel can be made of any heat-resistant material.
Our additional heater of the passenger compartment is powered by a cigarette lighter and a voltage of 12 V, therefore, we use a low-resistance nichrome wire in the design:
measure with a tester the resistance of 1 m of wire;
to obtain a maximum current of 5 A, we cut off the length of nichrome with a resistance of 2 ohms and make a spiral by winding the wire onto a rod or pencil;
stretch the resulting spiral a little so that the distance between the turns of the spiral is at least 2-3 wire thicknesses;
Based on the obtained length of the spiral, we will select the dimensions of the heating panel such that there are at least 4-5 rows of the heating element in the cross-section of the frame.
fix the spiral on the mounting frame, install the fan and connect a two-core cord with a wire cross-section of at least 1.5 mm 2 to the output contacts.
After assembling the structure of an autonomous electric heater, we test it by connecting it to the battery terminals for a short time. If the installation is done correctly, the heater coil should not warm up to the "red" state, the direction of air flow supplied by the fan should correspond to the calculated one. Otherwise, it is necessary to change the polarity of the connection and take into account when connecting the plug to the cigarette lighter.

I buy tanks and put them on the Germans because the original is expensive and Teplostarovsky is cheaper and by 13 liters pumps are also put on the Germans, and after the appearance in the pump spare parts section, Thomas will no longer buy the original
There are no problems with the purchase of spare parts, it is not clear why you focus on this every time.
I admit that about rubber, not only does it stink at first, it also dubs in the heating zone and cracks afterwards.
sometimes the desire to do everything by ourselves turns sideways. twisted it in my hands from under a German for 10-12 years, soft elastic
There are reasons for everything, and a silencer that is not installed on a German is also not just left.
I have a car not under the windows, and I do not care about the noise when the boiler starts up; by the time it arrives, it is already in low or standby mode, not a bit louder than a German.
it is already necessary to take the microphone and take the spectrograms of everything that is at hand. preparatory work just needs to be done a lot to challenge it was difficult.
Well, if you remove the exhaust completely it will be even quieter, but all the exhaust will be right there.
they are working to reduce noise, but some things in this country are no longer possible to do, they have forgotten how to order in China not according to Feng Shui.
will stop buying from the road, will be only from dealers and with a mandatory guarantee.
normal course and everyone will be happy
You saw that this is not a spiral candle the Germans call the glow plug The manufacturer is the same, the Japanese were initially satisfied with the visit, and only after that they agreed to carry out deliveries.
the KYOCERA element in the product has the following markings - AD-9V and AD-18V
Are you sure that Planar2D held in your hands for all the answers the feeling that you have another product in your hands?
And they managed to change the candle for anyhow, and the reels were found somewhere, and a bunch of inconsistencies.
Allowed inaccuracy in the Connect by color scheme White-white Green-green Red-brown Yellow-Yellow (Blue)
this does not affect the operation of the device, a change will be made to the documentation so that everyone understands how to connect.
Do you have extensive experience in your own production ?, designing new products and launching them into production?
Those who hold the product for the first time have questions and errors, the installers see the usual harness and the same remote control that they see on the Planar-44 and Binar-e and do not confuse anything.
the change has already been made to the documentation, but the question arose on Friday, so it will not be possible to pick it up and post it until Monday.
As a result, included? or immediately ran to the forum to complain
write the name of the company in the PM. There are weekly online meetings with dealers and representatives on quality issues. there will be an application, it will be possible to include it in the plan and you will be able to express in what products you meet a marriage and how you propose to eliminate it or what you would like to add. The plant is always ready for constructive dialogue and intelligible suggestions.
The corrected information with the diagram will be posted on the site tomorrow.
I can still ask the KLA they know for sure.
but contacts must be direct to whom to go, and the phone to arrange a time
Have you already called the service company to find out how the new product failed, and you were advised to carry out such a repair? or else we ourselves know everything here and now we will quickly fix it.
Which dealer in Eburg did you turn to for spare parts?
Since November 2011, air blowers with an aluminum scroll have been installed in Planar 44D (4 kW) - this allows to reduce the speed at maximum mode without losing heat output and to make the heater more comfortable for the consumer, and the air blower adjustment is easier during production. Heaters were initially designated by the letter M at the end of the name on the heater label, i.e. Planar 44D-24-M or Planar 44D-12-M, but then they changed to the old name, but the first two digits in the heater number changed.
Vasily, who did you receive the bill from ?? I went to your link, made a request, and the invoice came from I.P. Abdurakhmanov and without a seal. Maybe that's okay. without VAT.I'm even afraid to pay.
Before doing self-repair, I recommend assessing the situation as a whole. I mean, I will get acquainted with the accompanying documentation for the heaters, which I have collected for you in one place, I think it will be quite sufficient, and also in our descriptions of the problems that have arisen with your heater, we will try to repair it. The success of this repair is of course now in your hands. But first, assess the situation calmly and sensibly, it takes time, and time is money. At my discretion, everyone should do what he can do well, and receive moral and material satisfaction from this.
Do you have a HEATER of the passenger compartment, or a prestarting liquid heater?
To be honest, there is not much difference in their principle of operation. Some heat the air and accelerate through the cabin creating coziness and comfort, others heat the antifreeze and drive it through the engine cooling system, heating it, allowing it to facilitate starting in winter with the ability to warm up the interior.
The difference in them is only in the efficiency of energy consumption, electrical and fuel.
Heaters are designed for economical operation and for a relatively long time, here and the thermal power is smaller and the pump and fan for consumers. The prestart has a different main task - it is to warm up the engine as quickly as possible before starting, but of course not at any cost. What's the point of having a hot engine with a discharged battery. But the order of electricity consumption is hundreds of times less than turning a cold engine with a starter.
Table troubleshooting for the autonomous heater planar 4dm and 44d
Fault code
Traditionally, a house, an apartment, an extension, or, in extreme cases, a garage, if it serves as a part-time workshop, needs heating. Both industrial and public premises and even open areas are heated, for example, with the help of infrared heaters.
But in the conditions of a harsh winter, car interiors also need heating: trucks, buses, and the like.
The installation that heats the cab or the driver's workplace with the help of streams of warm air is called an air heater. The design includes a heating element, a pump for supplying diesel fuel, control gear and wires for connecting the elements. The devices are produced by the Russian plant "Planar" (Samara) and are characterized by an affordable price with high efficiency, as evidenced by reviews. The photo shows a car heating installation.
The principle of operation of the Planar air heater is as follows: the fuel mixture is pumped into the combustion chamber. The heat from the combustion is transferred to the heat exchanger. The latter is blown by a stream of air, and then the heated air is supplied to the driver's cab. Combustion products are removed from the car interior, therefore, it is prohibited to use the Planar heater indoors - garage, workshop.
The fuel mixture for the device is diesel fuel obtained from the tank. The heater works in autonomous mode, regardless of the state of the engine.
Each time the heater is turned on, a preliminary test of the overheating sensor, pump status, burner indicator and electrical circuits is carried out. If there is a deviation in the state of the elements according to the instructions, ignition will not be initiated. If the test is successful, the combustion chamber is pre-purged - air is removed from the passenger compartment, the candle is lit, and then a mixture of fuel and combustion air is supplied. Upon reaching normal stable combustion, the candle turns off.
When disconnected, the supply of the fuel mixture is interrupted, the burner is extinguished and the combustion chamber is purged.
The temperature is automatically adjusted according to the set value: from 15 to 30 degrees.When the temperature in the passenger compartment reaches the set value, the device switches to a mode with less heat transfer. If the difference between the parameters is large, the device can activate the ventilation mode, which helps to cool the workplace. When the air temperature drops, the Planar autonomous heater switches to a more active mode. Optionally, the device can be equipped with a remote temperature sensor, which is located in the cab
Installation of the unit is carried out only by specialists.
The device works in stand-alone mode - the engine can be turned off.
Will report low fuel consumption. The latter is fed into the heater from the tank.
The combustion products are discharged from the vehicle interior, providing a clean atmosphere inside.
The device is compact and lightweight - up to 12 kg, depending on the model. At the same time, the cab is heated literally in a matter of minutes. The photo shows a sample.
Affordable cost.
The disadvantages include some limited use - the installation cannot be placed in places where dust accumulates or the accumulation of vapors of flammable substances is possible, and the presence of a battery is also mandatory.
The Planar heater is equipped with several security systems that ensure stable operation of the device and emergency shutdown in case of abnormal operation.
If the startup attempt fails, a second attempt is made by default. If the start-up is still not possible, the device switches off.
In the event of a burner malfunction, the device switches off immediately.
An automatic shutdown is also performed when the heat exchanger overheats. When the current falls or rises, the unit shuts down.
All of the above events are reflected on the control panel by a blinking LED - red or orange, in a specific mode. The instruction contains a decryption of signals, which allows you to quickly establish the cause of the inoperative state, as evidenced by user reviews. The photo shows the control panel.
You can extend the service life of an autonomous heater and significantly reduce repair costs by observing the rules of use recommended in the instructions.
Fuel - It is known that the efficiency of an engine depends on the ambient temperature. It is also recommended to observe certain conditions for the Planar heater. So, at temperatures up to -5 C, diesel fuel 3-0.2 is used, at values from -5 to -20 C, it is advisable to use a mixture of gasoline and diesel fuel, and at lower temperatures - fuel grade A-0.4.
It is recommended to turn on the heater for 5-10 minutes once a month, even when there is no need to heat the passenger compartment. Thus, the appearance of film deposits in the fuel pump is preceded.
The device must not be switched off before the end of the purge phase. Disconnection is possible at any other moment.
Check the battery charge level. If the car is not used for a long time, the Planar heater must be disconnected from the battery.
Do not connect the heater to the electrical circuit of the machine while the engine is running. The device is powered only from the storage battery, regardless of the mass of the vehicle.
Switch off the device when refueling the vehicle.
It is recommended to entrust the repair of the device to specialists. However, judging by the reviews, you can cope with simple malfunctions not related to the burner and damage to electrical parts. The instructions supplied with the device describe in detail the most likely ones.
Quite often, if the recommendations for switching to winter fuel are not followed, the fuel filter becomes waxed. As a result, the Planar device does not turn on. In this case, you should first replace the fuel for the appropriate weather conditions, and check the operation of the fuel intake.If, after cleaning its filter, the Planar heater still does not work, dismantle the fuel supply pump, and, by unscrewing the union, remove the filter. The element is washed in gasoline and blown with compressed air, and then installed in place. At the end of the repair, the fitting should be fixed with sealant. The video shows the filter cleaning process in more detail.

If you need to repair a part separately, then before removing and bringing it to repair autonomous heater to the service center, you need to write off the error code, but it is better to send a photo in advance. To clarify the error code on mechanical models 4DM you need to count the number of flashes of the LED, and on electronic 4D, rewrite the numbers displayed on the remote control.
Having carried out diagnostics and assuming a malfunction, drivers often decide to repair the autonomous system on their own. However, it is difficult for a layman to understand all the nuances and to carry out the adjustment of the unit without errors. One of the features of the built-in diagnostics is the display of a faulty circuit without specifying a specific part of the faulty one. In some cases, several units may break, which will complicate the identification of the malfunction and the repair of the heater. Only qualified craftsmen will be able to quickly cope with this task.
Accumulated carbon deposits on the evaporator screen, melted contacts and candles, combustion products on other parts can cause the control unit to fail. As a result Planar (Planar) will give incorrect codes for Planar 44D and other models. In this case, only specialists can identify the cause of the breakdown, and do-it-yourself repairs can lead to disastrous consequences or an increase in the cost of the entire process.
