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

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.
Top up the refrigerant (see MR 411 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Refrigerant circuit:

ALP 9 Too much cold air
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).

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.

ALP 10 Inefficient rear screen de-icing/demisting
NOTESCarry out this conformity check after a full check using the diagnostic tool
(fault reading, especially UCH and injection faults 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.
Special notes:
Check that the inside of the windows are not greasy as this reduces the efficiency of
the de-icing.
Note:
The de-icing control is only authorised when the engine is running to save power.
The rear screen de-icer control is activated by pressing the de-icing button at the
bottom of the climate control panel in manual mode (with time delay and rear-view
mirror de-icer).
Ensure that there are no water leaks in the passenger compartment which would significantly increase the
moisture and reduce the effectiveness of the demisting function (see ALP 12 if the fault is noted).
Is the fault still present?
YES NO
Check that the UCH is correctly configured by viewing the configuration reading LC013 Type of air conditioning.
Reconfigure the UCH if necessary.
Check that the UCH receives the signal about the
status and operation of the engine. In the Cold Loop
screen, status ET142 "engine operating phase"
should display RUNNING.
Is status ET142 RUNNING?
YES
End of fault finding procedure.
NOCarry out fault finding on the UCH
(interpretation of status ET142) and on the
multiplex network.

NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic
tool.
Check that the cabin filter is not blocked or damaged
(see MR 411 Mechanical, 61A, Heating, Cabin filter:
Removal - refitting).

YES
Check that the condensate (water from the evaporator)
drain ring is not obstructed (beneath the body).
Repair if necessary.
Is the fault still present?
YES
Check the sealing of the heating unit in relation to the
engine compartment:
- Foam seal on the heater matrix coolant pipes fitted and
in good condition.
- Rubber seal on the radiator tank fitted and in good
condition (seal under the bonnet separating the engine
compartment from the windscreen aperture).
- Drain valve on the radiator tank fitted and in good
condition.
Repair if necessary.
Is the fault still present?
YES
Remove the passenger compartment filter to apply air
conditioning system cleaner using an extension piece on
the evaporator. Spray the entire contents of the aerosol.

ALP 14 Noisy compressor
NOTESOnly deal with this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool
(fault reading and configuration checks).
WARNING
Check that the computers active in the AIR CONDITIONING function (Injection, UCH
and climate control) are correctly configured.
Note:
Before starting any work, check that the noise is indeed coming from the compressor.
Check that the compressor belt is in good condition and check its tension (for engines without automatic
tensioning) (see MR 411, Mechanical, 11A, Top and front of engine, Accessories belt: Removal - Refitting).
Check that the compressor is correctly fixed (see MR 411 Heating and air conditioning system, 62A,
Air conditioning, Compressor: Removal - Refitting).
Check the refrigerant fluid and look for any leaks. Significant loss of fluid causes the compressor to make noises.
(see Technical Note 6001A, Air conditioning, 62A, Air conditioning, Air conditioning: Check).
If the fault is still present, replace the air conditioning compressor (see MR 411, Mechanical, 62A,
Air conditioning, Compressor: Removal - Refitting).
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
