NOTESOnly refer to this customer complaint after a full check of the multiplex network
and the air conditioning with the fault finding tool.
Special notes:
With the ignition on, the control panel screen is permanently on but the panel buttons
only light up when the sidelights are switched on.
Note:
If the external temperature sensor is faulty, the climate control computer is
switched on 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on (this allows a fault to be
identified as fault finding cannot be performed on the external temperature sensor
by the UCH).
Is the fault common to other components (instrument panel,
multifunction display, electric window buttons, etc.)?
YES
Switch on the ignition and switch on the side lights to check
there is a 12 V supply on track 6 of the brown 12-track
connector (PPH2) of the Protection and Switching Unit.
Is there a 12 V supply?
YES

Using the diagnostic tool and the conformity
check in this document, check that the lighting
rheostat is working correctly using parameter
PR122 Night-time lighting level.
Does the parameter vary?
YES
Is the fault still present?
YES
Contact your TECHLINE.
NO
NO Use the diagnostic tool to check the
instrument panel (which is providing the 0 V
rheostat controlled information).
If fault DF037 "Instrument panel lighting
rheostat" is present: apply the associated fault
finding procedure (see corresponding
section).
If no faults are present or stored: run fault
finding on the multiplex network (the 0 V
rheostat controlled signal is reaching the air
conditioning control panel on the multiplex
network).

ALP 14 Air conditioning noises during operation
NOTESOnly deal with this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool
(fault reading and configuration checks).
Check that the computers involved in the air conditioning function (Injection, Protection and
Switching Unit, UCH and Air conditioning control panel) are correctly configured.
Reconfigure if necessary (see 62A, Air conditioning, Configurations and Configuration reading).
Check that:
–the compressor fitted to the vehicle corresponds correctly to the engine (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air
conditioning, Air conditioning: Parts and consumables for the repair).
Replace the compressor if necessary (see MR 370, Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Compressor: Removal
- Refitting).
–the compressor is correctly fixed (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Compressor: Removal -
Refitting).
Check the condition of the compressor belt and check its tension. Replace the belt if necessary (see MR 370
Mechanical, 11A, Top and front of engine, Accessories belt: Removal - Refitting).
Check that the intermediate pipes, condenser and dehydrator reservoir are correctly fitted.
–Check the mountings and brackets of the components.
–Check the contact between and proximity of the components.
(see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Air conditioning: List and location of components).
Check the correct operation of the cooling fan assembly or passenger compartment fan assembly and
condenser:
–check the electrical supply of the fan using parameters ET007 High speed fan assembly control, AC009 Low
speed fan assembly and AC010 High speed fan assembly (see 62A, Air conditioning, Conformity check,
Cold loop sub-function).
Check the quantity of refrigerant (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Air conditioning: Parts
and consumables for the repair).
If the quantity of refrigerant is:
–Greater than the manufacturer's information, recharge according to the manufacturer's values (see MR 370
Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning: Draining - Filling).
–Less than the manufacturer's information, check for leaks (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning,
Refrigerant circuit: Check).
If the fault is still present, replace the compressor (see MR 370, Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning,
Compressor: Removal - Refitting).

ALP 15 Passenger compartment ventilation noises
NOTESOnly deal with this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool
(fault reading and configuration checks).
The aim of the following operations is to check and, if necessary, eliminate any foreign bodies
(leaves, insects, other, etc.) in:
–the passenger compartment air inlet,
–the cabin filter housing,
–the housing and on the fan assembly.
Check the passenger compartment air inlet and the cabin filter housing:
Remove:
–the scuttle panel grille (see MR 371 Bodywork, 55A, Exterior equipment, Scuttle panel grille: Removal -
Refitting),
–the air filter access panel,
–the scuttle panel partition,
–the cabin filter.
Check that there are no foreign bodies (leaves, insects, other, etc.) and, if necessary, clean the passenger
compartment air inlet and the cabin filter housing.
Refit:
–the cabin filter,
–the scuttle panel partition,
–the air filter access panel,
the scuttle panel grille (see MR 371 Bodywork, 55A, Exterior equipment, Scuttle panel grille: Removal -
Refitting).
Check the housing and the fan assembly:
Remove the fan assembly (see MR 370 Mechanical, 61A, Heating, Fan assembly: Removal - Refitting).
Check that there are no foreign bodies (leaves, insects, other, etc.) and, if necessary, clean the fan assembly
housing.
Check that there are no foreign bodies (leaves, insects, other, etc.) and, if necessary, clean the fan assembly.

MEASURING THE CONTROL VOLTAGE OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BLOWER
POWER MODULE
There are two ways to measure the control voltage of the passenger compartment blower power module:
1 / MEASURING USING
A MULTIMETER (in the voltmeter position, direct voltage measurement):
With the power module connector connected, measure across track 6 of the module and the earth.
At speed 0 the voltage measured is equal to the battery voltage (± 1 V) and at speed 8 the voltage is 5 V (± 0.5 V). The
voltage varies between 0 and 14 V for the seven intermediate speeds.
Examples of measurements taken with the voltmeter with the engine at idling speed (values given as a guide):
2 / MEASURING USING
AN OSCILLOSCOPE (Optima 5800, CLIP technique):
The blower power module is controlled by pulse width modulated control voltage (PWM).
This control voltage is always 12 V, it is the control signal (square signal) that varies:
the amplitude and frequency do not vary but instead the high status (12 V) varies in relation to the low status (5 V).
To take the measurement, connect the earth lead of the oscilloscope to the battery earth and the measuring lead of the
oscilloscope to track 6 (6-track connector) of the power module (module connector connected).
Adjust the time base on the oscilloscope to 500 µµ µ µ
s per division with a calibration of 5 V per division.
The signals obtained should be: a straight line at 14 V (± 1 V) for speed 0, and a straight line at 5 V (± 0.5 V) for speed 8.
Examples of measurements taken with the oscilloscope with the engine at idling speed (for information only):
