Check the continuity and insulation from earth of the electrical wiring between tracks A, B and C of the
sensor and tracks 9, 10 and 11 of the air conditioning control unit 30-way connector (sensor supplied with
5 V).
Repair the faulty electrical wiring.
Connect the XR25 and enter # 16. Measure the coolant pressure. The low pressure should be less than or
equal to 2 bars.

Repair the circuit if necessary.
If left-hand bargraph 4 remains permanently illuminated, change
the clutch.
If left-hand bargraph 4 still remains permanently illuminated,
change the compressor.
Using the XR25, check the pressure of the circuit (# 16).
At an ambient temperature of approximately 20 °C, a pressure of between 2 and
28 bars should be measured.
Is the pressure between these values?
Enter G21* on the XR25 to control the compressor.
Does the compressor cut in?

Check that the air conditioning has been selected.
Check that right-hand bargraph 6 is extinguished, if it is not, deal with right-hand
bargraph 6 first.
Enter G0** on the XR25.
If left-hand bargraph 6 remains illuminated, you can begin the fault finding
procedure.
Check the condition of the earth of fan assembly (2) (the relay is controlled by 0 volt).
Repair the fan assembly earth if necessary.
Connect the XR25 and enter # 16. Check that the coolant pressure is approximately 20 bars.
If it is not, top up the coolant (operation of the cooling fan assembly is dependent on the coolant
pressure).
NOChange the relay of fan assembly (2).
YESCheck the continuity and insulation from 12 volts of the electrical wiring
between track F2 and track 23 of the air conditioning control unit 30-way
connector.
Repair the faulty electrical wiring.
Check the condition of the wiring between the relay of fan assembly (2) and track 10 of the injection
computer.
Repair it if necessary.
Check the operating status of the relay by entering G23* on the XR25.
The fan assembly should be heard to knock.

With the engine cold, remove the engine
coolant thermostat and check that it is not
jammed in the open position.
Is it correct?
Check that there is no unwanted intake of
cold air into the passenger compartment
(seals, grommets, cables ...).
Repair if necessary
Does the fault persist?
Check the air inlets (particle filter)
and outlets.
Partially blocked air inlets or outlets
reduce the flow of heated air
into the
passenger compartment.
Repair if necessary.
Does the fault persist?
The heater radiator must be blocked. Remove
the radiator and clean or change it
(only valid for vehicles which have been
driven without the particle filter).

Non regulated air conditioning.
Check the level of coolant in the cooling
circuit.
NOTE: if the coolant level is too low, the cir-
cuit may become unprimed when driving at
low load and at idle.
Repair if necessary.
Does the fault persist?
Visually check that moving the control
moves the mixing flap.
Does it move?
yes
Check the coolant circuit.
NOTE: fitting an oil, water or air cooler which
has not been approved by the research centre
and which is incorrectly connected may re-
duce or even stop the flow of coolant in the
heater radiator.
Repair the coolant circuit if necessary.
Does the fault persist?
Remove the heater radiator.
Clean or change it if necessary.
Check that the components which were removed are connected correctly.
Check that the system operates correctly.
