With the engine running at idle speed, use the
diagnostic tool to check that the passenger
compartment central unit sends the start air
conditioning request to the injection computer.
Status ET030 Air conditioning request 2 should
display ACTIVE.
Is status ET030 "ACTIVE"?
YES
Using the diagnostic tool, display (injection cold
loop sub-function screen), the following statuses:
–ET004 Air conditioning authorised,
–ET088 Compressor activation request,
Is status ET004 "YES" and status ET088
"ACTIVE"
NO
Check that the injection computer is correctly configured. Status ET079 CLIMATE CONTROL PRESENT should
display YES (cold loop sub-function screen).
Is status ET079 YES?
YES
NOCheck that the UCH is correctly configured by
viewing the configuration reading LC013 Type
of air conditioning.
Should be “Climate control”
Reconfigure the UCH if necessary.
Check that the UCH is receiving the engine
operating status and passenger compartment
blower signals correctly (for manual air
conditioning). In the Cold Loop sub-function
screen, status ET142 "Engine operating
phase" should display “RUNNING” and status
ET015 "Passenger compartment blower"
should display “ACTIVE” and parameter
PR024 “Exterior temperature” is > 3˚C.
If the parameter and statuses are not correct,
carry out fault finding on the multiplex network
and UCH (interpretation of status ET015,
ET142 and parameter PR024).
YES
NO
Interpretation fault for status ET079, see
conformity check, cold loop sub-function:
–13B, Diesel injection,
–17B, Petrol injection.

Carry out fault finding on the injection system to ensure that no fault is present (if faults are displayed by the injection
computer, engagement of the air conditioning may be inhibited). If there are present or stored faults, carry out the necessary
repairs (see 13B, Diesel injection or 17B, Petrol injection).
Check that the refrigerant fluid pressure is correct (neither too low nor too high) using the PR037 Refrigerant fluid
pressure parameter (see Conformity check, Cold loop sub-function).
Check that the engine cooling fan assembly is at speed 1 by
viewing the following status on the cold loop sub-function
screen:
- Status ET022 Low-speed fan assembly request should
display ACTIVE.
Note:
These statuses are not displayed by all types of injection
(see Conformity check, Cold loop sub-function).
Does the engine cooling fan operate at low speed?
YES
NO
Using the diagnostic tool, run command
AC154 Low speed fan assembly relay.
Does the engine cooling fan operate at
low speed?
NO YES
Connector of component 321 disconnected. Connect a test
light between connection 49L of component 321 and the
chassis earth and run command AC154 Low speed fan
assembly relay.
Does the test light illuminate?
YES NO
Carry out fault finding
on the injection
system (sub-function:
cold loop and engine
cooling for low speed
fan assembly
activation).
Measure the resistance of component 321, between connections
49L and 49B of component 321. If the resistance measured is
infinite, replace the fan assembly resistor (component 321).D

procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing
electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for repair),
repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.Check that the low speed fan assembly relay operates

(see Technical Note 3786A, Engine and
peripherals, 10A, Belt tension setting tool Hz
measurement: tension values).
Is the tension correct?
YES

menu).
Does the compressor clutch jam?
YES

and MAS of component 171 and run
command AC180 Air conditioning

Does the test light illuminate?
NO
Connect a test light between connection 38R
of component 171 and the chassis earth, then
run command AC180 Air conditioning
compressor relay.
Does the test light illuminate?
YES
Earth fault on component 171.
If there is a repair procedure
(see Technical Note 6015A,
Repairing electrical wiring,
Wiring: Precautions for
repair), repair the wiring,
otherwise replace it.
NO

YES
Check the condition of the
diode (component 322).
Replace the diode if it is faulty.
Replace the air conditioning
clutch (component 171) if
possible, otherwise replace
the compressor (see MR 411

With the engine warm and passenger compartment
ventilation operating, vary the position of the mixing
flap from the maximum hot position to the maximum
cold position and check subjectively that there is a
difference in temperature.
Is a difference in temperature noted?
YES
E
NOCarry out a conformity check on the mixing
motor (PR012 Mixing flap position). If the
conformity check does not reveal any faults,
look for a mechanical fault on the mixing flap
(condition of the motor ’s notched sector, flap
jammed inside the unit, etc.).
Is the fault still present?
YES NO
End of fault finding
procedure.
Check the cold loop by checking the condition of the pipes and ensuring that the air conditioning system
does not have any refrigerant leaks (see Technical Note 6001A, Air conditioning, 62A, Air conditioning,
Air conditioning: Check). Repair the faulty pipes or components.

NOTESOnly deal with this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool
(fault reading and configuration checks).
Check that the fuses are sound.
Use a multimeter and a 21 W test light.
Use the Wiring Diagram Technical Note, NEW TWINGO.
With the engine running at idle speed and air conditioning switched off (AC button not pressed and no AUTO
mode), check that the air conditioning compressor clutch is not engaged.
Is the air conditioning compressor
clutch engaged?NO
YES
With the engine stopped, check that the compressor clutch electric control operates correctly, using the
diagnostic tool to run command AC180 Air conditioning compressor relay (injection command mode menu).
–During the command, connection 38R of component 171 must be supplied with + 12 V.
–After the command, connection 38R of component 171 must no longer be supplied with + 12 V.
Is the connection still supplied with + 12 V after the command?
YES NO
Check the continuity and insulation from + 12 V of
connection 38R between components 171 and 584.Check that the air conditioning compressor clutch is
not jammed (mechanical fault).
Is the connection OK? Is the clutch still engaged?
NO YES YES
If there is a repair procedure
(see Technical Note 6015A,
Repairing electrical wiring,
Wiring: Precautions for repair),
repair the wiring, otherwise
replace it.With the vehicle ignition off, check
that the compressor clutch relay is
not “jammed”, by checking the
continuity between connection
38R and connection AP3 of
component 584.
Is the continuity present?
NO
Apply the fault finding procedure for
command AC180 Air conditioning
compressor relay (see 13B Diesel
injection or 17B Petrol injection).
Is the fault still present?
Replace the air conditioning
compressor (see MR 411,

With the engine warm and passenger compartment
ventilation operating, vary the position of the mixing
flap from the maximum cold position to the
maximum hot position and check subjectively that
there is a difference in temperature.
Is a difference in temperature noted?
YES
Using the diagnostic tool statuses and parameters
screen (cold loop sub-function), check that the
temperature signals are consistent (no sensor
deviation resulting in incorrect measurement).
–Using parameters PR002 Exterior temperature,
PR064 Coolant temperature and PR001
Interior temperature.
Are the temperature signals consistent?
YES
Check the refrigerant fluid (see Technical Note
6001A, Air conditioning, 62A, Air conditioning,
Air conditioning: Check).
NOCarry out a conformity check on the
mixing motor (PR012 Mixing flap
position). If the conformity check does
not reveal any faults, look for a
mechanical fault on the mixing flap
(condition of the motor ’s notched sector,
flap jammed inside the unit, etc.).
NOCarry out a conformity check:
–For the coolant temperature sensor, see
13B, Diesel injection, Fault summary
table or 17B Petrol injection, Fault
summary table.
–For the exterior temperature sensor,
see 87B, Passenger compartment
connection unit, Fault summary
table.
