ALP 4 Inefficient windscreen demisting
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic
tool.
Special notes:
Check that the inside of the windows are not greasy, as this lowers the efficiency of
the demister.
Use the diagnostic tool to check that the computer is correctly configured by reading the LC046
GEOGRAPHICAL ZONE configuration. If necessary, reconfigure the computer (CF024 GEOGRAPHICAL
ZONE) and check that the windscreen demisting operates correctly.
Check that the air extraction vents are not blocked.
Repair if necessary.
Is the fault still present?
YES
Check that there is no water leakage in the
passenger compartment which would significantly
increase the humidity and reduce the efficiency of
the demisting. Repair if necessary (see ALP12
Water in the passenger compartment).
Is the fault still present?
YES
Check that the compressor operates correctly by switching on the air conditioning (press the “AC” button).
Repair if necessary (see ALP8 NO COLD AIR).
Check that the condensation (water from the evaporator) evacuation ring is not obstructed (under the vehicle).
Repair if necessary.

ALP 5 No passenger compartment ventilation
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic
tool.
Special notes:
The intermediate connector is located on the distribution-ventilation unit and the
passenger compartment blower unit control module is located slightly higher up,
below the heater matrix pipes.
Use the W iring Diagram Technical Note for the New Twingo.
Using the diagnostic tool, check that the passenger compartment
blower control setting given by the computer varies from 0 to 100 % by
checking parameter PR019 PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BLOWER
PWM SETTING (refer to the interpretation of this parameter).
Does the value vary?
Check that the control voltage (PWM) from the passenger compartment blower power module varies between 0
and 12 V (from 0 to 100 %) by measuring this voltage between connection 38LR of component 1023 and earth
MAN (connector disconnected).
Does the voltage vary correctly?
NOYES
Check the insulation and continuity of connection 38LR between components 419
and 1023.
If the connection is faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring,
Wiring: Precautions for the repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace the wiring.
Before ignition feed, check for + 12 V accessories feed on connection SP3 of
component 1023 in relation to the chassis earth.
●Check the continuity of connection MAN between the intermediate connector and
component 1023.
●Check the continuity of connection MAN between the intermediate connector and
the chassis earth.
If the connection is faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring,
Wiring: Precautions for the repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace the wiring.
If there is no +12 V accessories feed, check the condition and position of fuse F28 (30A)
in the passenger compartment fuse box. Consult section 81C Fuses.
If the checks do not reveal any faults, carry out conformity check on component 1016
and component 1428 if the vehicle is fitted with electric windows.

Techline.
