II - VEHICLE PREPARATION OPERATION
aPut the vehicle in the shade, where the temperature
is greater than or equal to 15˚C minimum.
aClose the bonnet.
aOpen the front windows.
aStart the engine and let it idle.
aSet the air conditioning controls with:
-recirculation mode in the external position,
-the ventilation distribution in "face" mode,
-the temperature control to coldest temperature set-
ting in front (and at the back, if it exists),
-the speed of the passenger compartment fan as-
sembly set to maximum (switch off the rear control
if it exists),
-the front side and centre air vents open with the
vanes in a neutral position,
-the air conditioning system must be turned on (indi-
cator light illuminated).
aWait 5 minutes with the engine idling before tak-
ing any measurements.
III - MEASUREMENTS
aRecord the air temperature at the scuttle panel grille
(T3).
-open the bonnet, depending on the vehicle, to ac-
cess the scuttle panel grille.
-place the sensor where air is drawn through the
scuttle panel grille.-wait for the value to become stable.
-record the T3 temperature value.
-close the bonnet if it was opened.
aRecord the air temperature at the left air vent (T1),
and at the right air vent (T2).
-fit sensor T1 in the left air vent (1) .
-fit sensor T2 in the right air vent (2) .
aRecord the differences in temperature once the (∆T)
value has stabilised:
-between T3 and the higher of values T1 or T2, (T3
- highest value).
-record this difference in temperature.
-between T1 and T2 (read the (∆T) value (T1-T2)
display mode).
-record the difference in temperature (∆T) accord-
ing to the correction (∆) to be applied to the mea-
surement.
aIf the (∆T)=(T1-T2) measurement is unstable, follow
the procedure below:
119359
119357
Note:
Depending on the vehicle's air conditioning sys-
tem programming, this check method may not be
applicable because the engine cooling fan
assembly has been activated. Its operation ren-
ders the (∆Τ) value between T1 and T2 unstable.
To eliminate this error, the fan assembly must be
activated for the entire period over which temper-
ature T1 and T2 measurements are recorded.

aActivate the engine cooling fan assembly operation
by modifying the engine speed.
-stabilise the engine speed at 2000 rpm while T1
and T2 temperature measurements are being re-
corded.
-check that the engine cooling fan assembly operat-
ing.
-record the temperatures by following the instruc-
tions given in the paragraph MEASUREMENTS.
IV - FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE
aThe following two following conditions must be met:
-the difference between T3 and the higher of the two
values T1 or T2, must be greater than or equal to
5˚C,
-the difference between T1 and T2 must be less
than or equal to 2˚C.
Note:
If one of these two conditions is not met, then the
air conditioning system is not working properly.
Should this be the case, refer to the fault finding
procedure for the air conditioning system for the
vehicle concerned.

I - RECOVERING REFRIGERANT FLUID
a
When draining or checking the refrigerant fill load,
three scenarios are to be taken into account:
-the engine is running and the air conditioning is in
operation (A),
-the engine is running but the air conditioning is not
in operation (B),
-the engine is not running nor is the air conditioning
in operation (C).
aScenario A:
-Operate the air conditioning until the cooling fan
assembly is triggered twice,
-Switch off the engine,
-drain for the first time (note down the original val-
ue),
-wait 15 minutes,
-check that the relative pressure is no more than 0
bar,
-repeat the cycles until the relative pressure is equal
to or less than 0 bar,
-add together the values of the various draining op-
erations; the fill is confirmed as being correct if the
volume of refrigerant fluid is the specified fill +35g
or -100g.
Scenario B:
-run the engine until the cooling fan is triggered
twice,
-Switch off the engine,-drain for the first time (note down the value),
-wait 15 minutes,
-run the engine until the cooling fan is triggered
twice,
-Switch off the engine,
-drain for the second time (note down the value),
-repeat the cycles until the relative pressure is equal
to or less than 0 bar,
-add together the values of the various draining op-
erations; the fill is confirmed as being correct if the
volume of refrigerant fluid is the specified fill +35g
or -100g.
Scenario C:
-drain for the first time (note down the value),
-wait 2 hours,
-repeat the cycles until the relative pressure is equal
to or less than 0 bar,
-add together the values of the various draining op-
erations; the fill is confirmed as being correct if the
volume of refrigerant fluid is the specified fill +35g
or -100g.
II - CREATING A VACUUM
aIt is essential to carry out vacuum extraction correct-
ly before loading, otherwise the air conditioning will
not work properly.
There are two scenarios to consider:
-vacuum created immediately after discharge (sce-
nario A),
-vacuum created after an interval of several hours
or days (scenario B).
Scenario A:
-creation of a vacuum takes 20 minutes.
Scenario B:
-creation of a vacuum takes 45 minutes to elimi-
nate any trace of moisture.
aTest the seal once the vacuum has been created
(some stations do this automatically).
III - FILLING
aFill up the refrigerant circuit using the refrigerant
charging station. Note:
-If the air conditioning circuit is fitted with a sin-
gle filler valve, some filling equipment only
requires the use of the high pressure pipe (refer
to the filling station instructions).
-Depending on the situation, run the system for
a few minutes before recovering the coolant to
improve drainage.
Note:
It is essential to follow these procedures to pre-
vent:
- gas escaping when the circuit is opened,
- pollution of the environment through the release
of gas into the atmosphere when the circuit is
opened or when a vacuum is created.
