NOTESConditions for running fault finding on a present or stored fault:
Apply this fault finding procedure if the fault reappears as present or stored after the
ignition is switched of f and on again.
Switch off the ignition and wait for the immobiliser warning light (Power-latch) to come one,
–Switch on the ignition again.
–Start the engine and switch on the air conditioning.
If the fault recurs, contact the Techline.
If the fault does not reappear: leave the climate control switched on and select various ventilation and air
distribution settings to check that the system is operating correctly.
–Check that no fault is displayed.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRFollow the instructions to confirm repair.
If the computer was replaced (at the request of the Techline), reconfigure the
computer (see Configurations and programming).
Deal with any other faults.

NOTESConditions for running fault finding on a present or stored fault:
Apply this fault finding procedure if the fault reappears as present or stored after the
ignition is switched on and air conditioning activation is requested with the engine
running.
Special notes:
The interior temperature sensor is located at the top of the roof in the unit under the
rear view mirror.
Use the Wiring Diagram Technical Note for the New Twingo.
Check the connection and condition (possible wiring damage) of the connector of component 1872.
If the connector is faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for the
repair), repair the connector, otherwise replace the wiring.
With connector A of component 419 and connector of union R301 disconnected, check the insulation and
continuity of the following connections between components R301 (dashboard/interior lights intermediate union)
and 419.
●connection 38JN
●connection 38GZ
If the connection or connections are faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring:

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:

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.

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,
Mechanical, 62A, Air
conditioning, Compressor:
Removal - Refitting).
YES Replace the air
conditioning
compressor clutch
relay.
