AC Compressor not engaging, code A72F "compressor clutch"

[ChaseN]

Hi everyone,

I have a 2012 35d blowing hot air. The A/C compressor clutch is not kicking on and a scan with Bimmergeek Pro Tool shows error "A72F Compressor Clutch." My research leads me to believe this might be a bad compressor coil but I'd like to test it before I spend all that DIY time just to find out it's not my issue.

Does anyone have instructions on how to test this thing and see if it's my problem? While I'm at it, anyone tackled this issue on a diesel and have any advice? The compressor is wayyy down there and seems easier to service from underneath the car but I haven't looked that closely at the feasibility yet.

Thanks all, oh and to make matters more urgent this is our only car, I have 2 year and 7 day (yes, day) old sons + a postpartum wife and it's mid to high 90s here in Virginia lol.
