Unclip the cable from the side
of the unit and check the stiffness of
movement of each component, control
button and flap control
on the air distribution unit.
Is it correct?
Check the travel of the control cable.
Remove any constraints
on it:
- bending,
- cable clamped with plastic clips.
Change it if necessary.
Does the fault persist?
Change the control panel or repair the
kinematic of the flap or change the air
distribution unit.
Check that the components which were removed are connected correctly.
Check that the system operates correctly.

The passenger compartment fan operates.
Check that left-hand bargraph 13 is
extinguished. This relates to the inhibiting of
heating/ventilation/air conditioning by the
injection or the automatic gearbox.
Is this bargraph extinguished?
Using the XR25, measure the pressures of the
coolant circuit by entering #16 or use
pressure gauges.
The pressures should be:
- high pressure < 28 bars,
- low pressure > 2 bars.
Is this correct?
Check that the components which were removed are connected correctly.
Check that the system operates correctly.

Non regulated air conditioning.
Is the fan assembly always operating?
(normal if high pressure ≥ 20 bars)
Check that the recirculation flap does not
remain in the recirculated air position.
Operate the control button
and check that the flap moves.
Does it move?
Check that the action of the
heater control
moves the flap.
Does it move?
Visually check that
the flap travel is complete.
Is it correct?
Check the coolant circuit pressures using the
XR25 or pressure gauges.
The fan assembly operates if the high
pressure ≥ 20 bars and stops if the pressure
≤15 bars.
If the pressures are correct, change
the pressure sensor, otherwise, top up
the coolant circuit.
Check that the components which were removed are connected correctly.
Check that the system operates correctly.

mode, engine running at idle.
Does the compressor operate?
Check the tension of the compressor belt, the
clutch air gap and its condition.
Retension the belt or change
the compressor clutch.

Clean or change the condenser.
If the fault persists, check the operation of
the cooling fan assembly at high speed
(ventilation and air conditioning
on maximum).
It should be:
- operating if high pressure≥ 20 bars
- stopped if high pressure≤ 15 bars
Is the operation of the fan assembly normal?
Check that the components which were removed are connected correctly.
Check that the system operates correctly.

With the vehicle stationary, engine running
at idle, air conditioning on maximum,
measure the pressure of the coolant circuit.
If the pressure is > 28 bars, there is :
- too much fluid,
- or the operation of the fan assembly is ab-
normal,
- or the condenser is clogged,
- or the engine heats up too much.
Is the pressure < 28 bars ?
