Check the condition of the air conditioning compressor
belt and its tension.
Is the tension correct?
YES
With the engine stopped, use the diagnostic tool to run
command AC008 COMPRESSOR CONTROL (Protection
and Switching Unit command mode menu).
Does the compressor clutch jam?
YES
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.
Can you feel the difference in
temperature?
YES
NOReplace the belt
(refer to repair methods).
NOUse the fault finding procedure for
command AC008 COMPRESSOR
CONTROL found in the Protection
and Switching Unit Technical Note.
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 systems:
Check the condition and routing of the mixing flap
control cable. Eliminate any stresses 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 NO
End of fault finding
procedure.
AFTER REPAIRPerform a complete check using the diagnostic tool.

ALP 14 Air conditioning noises during operation
NOTESOnly deal with this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool
(fault reading and configuration checks).
Check that the computers involved in the air conditioning function (Injection, Protection and
Switching Unit, UCH and Air conditioning control panel) are correctly configured.
Reconfigure if necessary (see Configurations and Configuration readings).
Check that:
–the compressor fitted to the vehicle corresponds correctly to the engine (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air
conditioning, Air conditioning: Parts and consumables for the repair).
Replace the compressor if necessary (see MR 370, Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Compressor: Removal
- Refitting).
–the compressor is correctly fixed (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Compressor: Removal -
Refitting).
Check the condition of the compressor belt and check its tension. Replace the belt if necessary (see MR 370
Mechanical, 11A, Top and front of engine, Accessories belt: Removal - Refitting).
Check that the intermediate pipes, condenser and dehydrator reservoir are correctly fitted.
–Check the mountings and brackets of the components.
–Check the contact between and proximity of the components.
(see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Air conditioning: List and location of components).
Check the correct operation of the cooling fan assembly or passenger compartment fan assembly and
condenser:
–check the electrical supply of the fan using parameters ET007 High speed fan assembly control, AC009 Low
speed fan assembly and AC010 High speed fan assembly (see Conformity check, Sub-function: Cold
loop).
Check the quantity of refrigerant (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Air conditioning: Parts and
consumables for the repair).
If the quantity of refrigerant is:
- Greater than the manufacturer's information, recharge according to the manufacturer's values (see MR 370
Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning: Draining - Filling).
- Less than the manufacturer's information, check for leaks (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning,
Refrigerant circuit: Check).
If the fault is still present, replace the compressor (see MR 370, Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning,
Compressor: Removal - Refitting).
AFTER REPAIRPerform a complete check using the diagnostic tool.
