CLIMATE CONTROL
Fault finding – Configurations and programming
CLIMATE CONTROL COMPUTER CONFIGURATION:
The climate control computer has 2 configuration functions. These configurations need to be set after the computer
has been replaced.
These two configurations are important as they ensure air conditioning is optimised within the vehicle (better control
of automatic climate control). If they are not correctly entered, cold air and warm air production will be severely
affected (e.g. heating resistors will not be switched on to heat the passenger compartment air).
These configurations can be accessed in repair mode by the diagnostic tool and can only be entered using
the fault finding by computer menu as opposed to the fault finding by function menu.
These configurations can be read, also using the diagnostic tool in repair mode to ensure they have been correctly
set. Configurations can be read in both fault finding by computer mode and fault finding by function mode.
–The first configuration is CF044 Vehicle type; this configuration allows you to enter the body type to which the
climate control computer is fitted (J84/R84 for 4 wheel drive Mégane Scénic and Scénic, and OTHER X84 for all
other Méganes). The configuration reading is called: LC013 Vehicle type.
–The second configuration is CF117 Type of heating resistors; this configuration is used to enter the type of
passenger compartment air heating resistors fitted in the vehicle. There are three options: WITHOUT for vehicles
without 1000 W and 1800 W resistors.
Heating resistors are mainly fitted on vehicles with Diesel engines.
They are located in the ventilation - air distribution unit (left-hand side), next to the heater matrix. The label affixed
to the resistor unit (with the part number) specifies whether the resistors are 1000 or 1800 W (Note: 1800 W
resistors are mainly fitted to Mégane Scénics). This configuration reading is called: LC043 Heating resistor.
Note:
In fault finding by function mode, the diagnostic tool can also display the configuration readings of the other computers
involved in the air conditioning function. All configurations of the air conditioning function (injection computer, UCH
and Protection and Switching Unit) are listed in Section 62A Air conditioning.
MIXING
AND DISTRIBUTION MOTOR PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE (self-setting):
There is no specific programming operation for the mixing motor and the distribution motor.
However, the minimum and maximum limits of these motors have to be programmed. This operation is automatic and
is performed in the following cases:
–after replacing the mixing or distribution motor,
–after disconnecting the battery or after disconnecting the climate control computer supply fuse,
–if a fault, declared as present when the ignition was switched off, disappears the next time the ignition is switched
on.
IMPORTANT
To ensure this programming operation is performed correctly, the passenger compartment blower must be
switched off (speed set to 0).

Is it an air flow fault?
NO
Is it a heater performance fault?
NO
Check that the air recirculation flap does not remain closed when in the recirculation position. On the diagnostic
tool, status ET062 "Recirculation flap position" should display OPEN (the flap can be seen by removing the
windscreen frame).
Repair if necessary (apply the fault finding procedure for fault DF021 Recirculation motor circuit).
Is the fault still present?
YES
Carry out a conformity check of the temperature sensors
(internal, external and engine coolant temperature).
Depending on vehicle equipment, check that the interior air
temperature sensor micro-turbine is working correctly (if it is
faulty it may cause the measurement to be incorrect).
Replace any faulty components.YES

ALP 5 No passenger compartment ventilation
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check using the
diagnostic tool.
Special notes:
The 2 x 5-track intermediate connector is located on the LH side of the distribution /
ventilation unit (behind a plastic cover) and the passenger compartment fan control
module is located slightly higher up, below the heater matrix pipes.
Check that the fusesare in good condition.
Using the diagnostic tool, check that the passenger compartment fan
control setting given by the computer varies from 0 to 100% by checking
parameter PR019 Passenger compartment fan PWM setpoint
(refer to the interpretation of this status).
Does the value vary?
YES
Check that the control voltage (PWM) (modulated control voltage) of the passenger
compartment fan power module varies between 5 and 12 V (from 0 to 100%) by
measuring between track 6 of the module's 6-track connector and earth
(connector connected).
Note:
The check procedure is given in the Help section.
Does the voltage vary correctly?
NO
Check the insulation, continuity and absence of interference resistance on the
following connection:

With the ignition on, check for +12 V accessories feed on track B1 and an earth on track B5
of the black 2 x 5 track intermediate connector (screwed to the base of the console).
Repair if necessary.
