NOTESOnly carry out this conformity check after a full check with the diagnostic tool (fault
reading and configuration checks).
Test conditions: engine at idle speed,
AIR CONDITIONING OPERATING (air
conditioning compressor engaged).
NOTE: To check that the temperature parameters are correct (without a thermometer),
read these parameters when the vehicle is cold (in the morning). The temperatures
should be approximately equal (interior, exterior and engine coolant). Fault finding
procedures for the statuses, parameters and commands listed in this check are
explained in the Technical Notes relating to the computer which generates the signal
(see the Introduction section).

Is the air flow correct?
YES
Is the air distribution correct?
YES
With the engine warm, select the MAX heat position.
Is the blown air hot?
NO
Using the diagnostic tool statuses and parameters
screen (cold loop sub-function), check that the
temperature signals are correct (no sensor drift
resulting in incorrect measurement).
For manual air conditioning systems:
–External air temperature and engine coolant
temperature.
For climate control systems:
–External air temperature, engine coolant
temperature and internal air temperature.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, also check that
the internal air temperature sensor mini-turbine is
operating correctly (this can distort the measurement if
it is faulty).
Are the temperature signals consistent?
YES
NO

With the engine warm and
passenger compartment ventilation
operating, vary the position of the
mixing flap from the very cold
position to the very hot position and
check subjectively that there is a
difference in temperature.
Can you feel the difference in
temperature?
YES
NOFor climate control systems:
Carry out a conformity check on the mixing motor
(PR012 Mixing motor). If the conformity check does not
reveal any faults, look for a mechanical fault with the
mixing flap (condition of the motor's toothed sector, flap
jammed inside the unit, etc.).
For manual air conditioning and heater versions:
Check the condition and routing of the mixing flap
control cable. Eliminate any constraints on it: kinks,
cable restricted by plastic clips, etc. Replace it if
necessary. Unclip the cable from the side of the 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
Is the lower heater matrix pipe
(coolant inlet) hot?
NOTE: Pipe located on the left-hand
side of the heater-air conditioning
unit, near the engine bulkhead.
YES
Check that the heater matrix is not blocked: The top heater matrix pipe should be hot.
NOTE: Pipe located on the left-hand side of the heater-air conditioning unit, near the engine
bulkhead. Clean the heater matrix or replace it if necessary.
Is the fault still present?
YES NO
If the vehicle is fitted with passenger compartment heating
resistors (RCH), check that these are operating correctly by
referring to the fault finding procedure in the UCH Technical Note.
NOCarry out a check on the coolant circuit and
ensure that the thermostatic valve opens at the
correct temperature.
Replace the valve if necessary.
NO
End of fault finding procedure.

coolant temperature.
For regulated climate control systems:

With the engine warm and

For climate control systems:
Using the diagnostic tool statuses and parameters screen (passenger compartment ventilation sub-function),
check that the recirculation flap is in the external air position: status ET062 Recirculation flap position should
display OPEN. If it is closed when the user does not want recirculation, use the fault finding procedure for fault:
DF021 Recirculation motor circuit.
For manual air conditioning systems:
check that the recirculation flap is in the external air position. If this is not operating correctly (impossible to change
the flap to the exterior air position), check the condition and routing of the recirculation flap control cable. Eliminate
any constraints on it: kinks, cable restricted by plastic clips, etc.
Replace it if necessary.
Check that there is no mechanical fault with the recirculation flap (flap jammed).
Carry out any necessary repairs.
Is the fault still present?
YES NO

inlet) hot?
NOTE: Pipe located on the left-hand

If the vehicle is fitted with passenger compartment heating resistors,
check that these are operating correctly (not switching on
unnecessarily) by referring to the fault finding procedure contained in
the UCH technical note.
