4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (CONTINUED)
Wiring check
Fault finding problems
Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring harness may temporarily remove the cause of a fault.
Electrical measurements of voltage, resistance and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is not
present when the analysis is made (stored fault).
Visual inspection of the connection:
●Check that the connector is connected correctly and that the male and female parts of the connection are
correctly coupled.
Visual inspection of the area around the connection:
●Check the condition of the mounting (pin, strap, adhesive tape, etc.) if the connectors are attached to the
vehicle.
●Check that there is no damage to the wiring trim (sheath, foam, adhesive tape, etc.) near the wiring.
●Check that there is no damage to the electrical wires at the connector outlets, in particular on the
insulating material (wear, cuts, burns, etc.).
Disconnect the connector to continue the checks.
Visual inspection of the plastic casing:
●Check that there is no mechanical damage (casing crushed, cracked, broken, etc.), in particular to the
fragile components (lever, lock, openings, etc.).
●Check that there is no heat damage (casing melted, darker, deformed, etc.).
●Check that there are no stains (grease, mud, liquid, etc.).
Visual inspection of the metal contacts:
(The female contact is called CLIP. The male contact is called TAB.)
●Check that there are no bent contacts (the contact is not inserted correctly and can come out of the back
of the connector). The spring contact of the connector when the wire is gently pulled.
●Check that there is no damage (folded tabs, clips open too wide, blackened or melted contact, etc.).
●Check that there is no oxidation on the metal contacts. Note:
Carry out each requested check visually. Do not remove a connector if it is not required.
Note:
Repeated connections and disconnections alter the functionality of the connectors and increase the risk of poor
electrical contact. Limit the number of connections/disconnections as much as possible.
Note:
The check is carried out on the 2 parts of the connection. There may be two types of connections:
–Connector / Connector
–Connector / Device

Visual inspection of the sealing:
(Only for watertight connectors)
●Check for the seal on the connection (between the 2 parts of the connection).
●Check the seal at the back of the connectors:
–For unit joints (1 for each wire), check that the unit joints are present on each electrical wire and that
they are correctly positioned in the opening (level with the housing). Check that plugs are present on
openings which are not used.
–For a grommet seal (one seal which covers the entire internal surface of the connector), check that the
seal is present.
–For gel seals, check for gel in all of the openings without removing the excess or any protruding
sections (it does not matter if there is gel on the contacts).
–For hotmelt sealing (heat-shrink sheath with glue), check that the sheath has contracted correctly on
the rear of the connectors and electrical wires, and that the hardened glue comes out of the side of the
wire.
●Check that there is no damage to any of the seals (cuts, burns, significant deformation, etc.).
If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring,
Wiring: Precautions for repair)
5. FAULT FINDING LOG
You will always be asked for this log:
●when requesting technical assistance from Techline,
●for approval requests when replacing parts for which approval is mandatory,
●to be attached to monitored parts for which reimbursement is requested. The log is needed for warranty
reimbursement, and enables better analysis of the parts removed.
6. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any damage or injury:
–check the battery voltage to avoid incorrect operation of computer functions,
–do not smoke,
–use the proper tools. IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system requires thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools. The
FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the procedure, enables you to keep
track of the procedure which is carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the
manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE MANDATORY TO FILL OUT A FAULT FINDING LOG EACH TIME FAULT FINDING IS
CARRIED OUT

With the connector disconnected, measure the resistance value of the mixing motor:
Check the resistance of component 420 between the following connections:
●connections S and 38LG,
●connections S and 38LC,
●connections S and 38LH,
●connections S and 38LD.
If the connection or connections are faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring:

at 20 ˚C, replace the mixing motor if this is not the case.
If the fault is still present, remove the mixing motor but leave it electrically connected and send a motor command
from the temperature buttons on the control panel: switch the temperature setting to maximum 27 ˚C (a value
of 100 %), then switch the temperature setting to minimum 15 ˚C (a value of 0 %), the motor must change from
one direction to the other. If the connections are correct but the motor does not switch during the commands:
replace the mixing motor.
AFTER REPAIRClear the stored faults.
Follow the instructions to confirm repair.
If the motor has been replaced (see Configuration and programming).
Deal with any other faults.

ALP 2 Air distribution fault
NOTESNone
Check that the air circuit (cabin filter, scuttle panel grille, air ducts and grilles etc.) is not blocked. Repair, clean
or change the cabin filter if necessary.
Also check that there is no air flow fault: (see ALP 3 Air flow fault).
Check that the blower unit is correctly sealed. Also check that the air distribution ducts (right-hand and left-hand,
upper and lower) are correctly connected to the housing as well as the refrigeration pipe in the glove box (if the
customer complains about a feeling of cold air on the passenger's side).
Repair if necessary.
Set the passenger compartment blower to
maximum speed with maximum hot or maximum
cold and move the air distribution control. Check
that the air outlet is the one selected.
Note:
For information about the air flows according to user
selection, refer to the air distribution table given in
the interpretation of parameter PR011 Distribution
flap position.
Has the customer complaint been confirmed?
YES
Remove the centre console and glovebox
(see MR 412 Bodywork, 57A, Interior equipment,
Removal - refitting procedures).
Remove the distribution motor and check the
condition of the flap control.
Is the flap control damaged?
NO
NOThe air distribution is operating correctly.
Explain to the customer how the system
operates.

With the distribution motor removed, manually
activate the distribution flaps by turning the centre of
the control fully from one side to the other.
Does the flap cover the whole range of
movement, without any areas of resistance?
YES
Remove the footwell vent ducts (lower ducts) to
check that the lower flap control linkages are
present and correctly fitted (they are connected to
the upper flaps).
Also ensure that lower flaps move when the
distribution flap manual control is operated.
Do the footwell (lower) distribution flaps move
when the distribution flaps are controlled?
YES
NORemove the dashboard in order to check
that there is nothing preventing the flaps
from moving (see MR 412, Bodywork,
57A, Interior accessories, Dashboard:
Removal - Refitting). Carry out any
repairs (eliminate any foreign bodies
which may be blocking the flaps and
lubricate the centre of the flap control).
Replace the distribution - ventilation unit if
it is not possible to repair it.
NOIf the mountings of the lower flap control
linkages are not damaged: resecure the
linkages and grease them slightly. If a
repair is not possible or if the mountings
are damaged: replace the distribution -
ventilation unit.
