"Coolant pressure sensor
The coolant pressure sensor is fitted in the pressure line between the condenser and the evaporator. Depending on the sensor signal, the
air-conditioning compressor is regulated by the IHKA control module in the event of excessive refrigerant pressure. The junction box supplies the
coolant pressure sensor with voltage. The data is evaluated in the junction box electronics. The prepared data is sent across the body CAN
(K-CAN) to the IHKA control module."

Rockp2, I guess the Coolant pressure sensor is just the refrigerant pressure sensor then, I thought it has to do with anti-freeze.
I am still working on this and I will keep you guys updated:
P173b = CAN coolant temp sensor invalid.
P112b = Engine coolant temp low.
Fan works continuously with ignition On or engine running regardless of coolant temperature, fan turns off when removing fuse F05 (5 amp).
