AIR CONDITIONING
Air conditioning: Check
AIR CONDITIONING or CLIMATE CONTROL

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.

AIR CONDITIONING
Refrigerant circuit: Check
AIR CONDITIONING or CLIMATE CONTROL

There are several types of detector:
-electronic detectors,
-trace detectors.
Check that the air conditioning system is operating cor-
rectly (see 62A, Air conditioning, Air conditioning:
Check, page 62A-4) .
REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT SEALING CHECKING
OPERATION
1 - Electronic detectors:
a
aSwitch on the electronic detector.
aStart the engine.
aLet the air conditioning system run for 15 minutes.
aSwitch off the engine.aCheck the sealing of the refrigerant circuit using the
electronic trace detector (follow the trace of the cir-
cuit as closely as possible, to limit variations due to
other gases).
2 - Trace detectors
a
aCheck for dye on the cold loop components with the
ultraviolet light.
aInject the dye.
aStart the engine.
aLet the air conditioning system run for 15 minutes.
aSwitch off the engine.
aCheck the refrigerant circuit sealing by scanning the
circuit with the ultraviolet light.
aAffix a label (supplied with the dye capsule), to indi-
cate that dye has been used (as close as possible to
the filler valves). Equipment required
Diagnostic tool
IMPORTANT
Consult the safety and cleanliness advice and oper-
ation recommendations before carrying out any
repair (see 62A, Air conditioning, Air condition-
ing: Precautions for the repair, page 62A-1) .
Note:
After any work on air conditioning circuit leaks on
the Laguna II, Vel Satis and Espace IV, check that
filling fault DF033 Refrigerant is not present, using
the Diagnostic tool. If it is present, clear it. The
compressor cannot operate until the fault is cleared.
Note:
To carry out an after repair check, use the proce-
dure for the electronic detector (1). To carry out a
more thorough check for leaks, use a trace detector
(2).
WARNING
Consult the device's operating manual to avoid
incorrect use.
Note:
If replacing a defective part (see 62A, Air condi-
tioning).
WARNING
Consult the device's operating manual to avoid
incorrect use.
WARNING
To avoid damaging the cold loop components
(corrosions , etc.), do not use dye if the traces
reveal that some product has already been
injected.
Note:
If replacing a defective part (see 62A, Air condi-
tioning).
