Using the diagnostic tool statuses and parameters
screen (UCH heating sub-function), check that the
temperature signals are consistent (no sensor
deviations resulting in incorrect measurement).
–Use statuses PR002 Exterior temperature and
PR024 Engine coolant temperature.
Are the temperature signals consistent?
YES
Start the engine and switch on the air conditioning by
pressing the AC button (with a request for maximum
cold temperature and the passenger compartment
blower running).

Display the following status in the “User selection”
sub-function screen:
ET029 Air conditioning button should be
PRESSED.
Note:
The status indicates if the signal for the AC button
pressed on the control panel is read by the UCH
correctly.
Does status ET029 display PRESSED?
YES
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.
Replace any faulty components.
NOContinuity fault on connection 38LP.
Using an ohmmeter, carry out a continuity
test on connection 38LP between
components 319 and 645. If there is a
procedure (see Technical Note 6015A,

With the engine running at idle speed, use the
diagnostic tool to check that UCH does in fact
send 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 (injection cold loop sub-
function screen), display 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?
YESNOCheck that the UCH is correctly configured by
viewing the configuration reading LC013 Type
of air conditioning.
Should be “Manual air conditioning”
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” should be >
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

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
NOUsing 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
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).
Carry out fault
finding on the
injection system
(sub-function: cold
loop and engine
cooling for low
speed fan assembly
activation).

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
NOCheck the condition and routing of the mixing
flap control cable. Eliminate any constraints it
may have such as kinks, restriction by plastic
clips, etc.
Replace the lead if necessary. Unclip the
cable from the side of the heating/air
conditioning unit and check the stiffness of
movement of each component: control
button and flap control on the air distribution
unit. Check that there is no mechanical fault
with the mixing flap (flap jammed inside the
unit, etc.). Carry out any necessary repairs.
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.
Top up the refrigerant (see MR 411 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Refrigerant circuit: Draining - Filling).

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, W iring:
