Faults:
Faults are declared as either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but have not been diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used after the
+ after ignition feed has been supplied (without acting on the system components).
For a present fault, apply the procedure described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the instructions in the Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the notes are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the fault.
If the fault is not confirmed, check:
–The electrical lines which correspond to the fault,
–The connectors on these lines (corrosion, bent pins, etc.),
–The resistance of the faulty component,
–The condition of the wiring (insulation melted or cut, chafing, etc.).
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check statuses and parameters that do not produce a fault display on the
diagnostic tool when they are inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
–carry out fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer complaint,
–check that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault recurring after repairs.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for statuses and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a status is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside the permitted tolerance values, consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Notes about the conformity check for the air conditioning system
All variables (statuses and parameters) and commands required for the air conditioning function are divided into four
sub-functions:
–the COLD LOOP sub-function, which groups together all the information required for producing cold air,
–the USER SELECTION sub-function, which groups together all the information relating to the user's requests
(buttons pressed, warning lights, etc.),
–the HEATING sub-function, which groups together all the information required for producing warm air,
–the PASSENGER COMPARTMENT VENTILATION sub-function, which groups together all the information
relating to ventilation, distribution and air distribution within the passenger compartment.

Fault finding – Interpretation of statuses
ET007
COMPUTER + AFTER IGNITION FEED
NOTESNone.
This status shows the + 12 V after ignition feed supplied by the Protection and Switching Unit.
When the ignition is off, the status displays: ABSENT.
When the ignition is on, the status displays: PRESENT.
If the fault is still present, carry out fault finding on the Protection and Switching Unit: Check that status
ET003 After ignition relay control is working correctly and check that fault DF001 After ignition relay control
circuit is not present.
Carry out any repairs necessary (see corresponding fault finding procedures).
If the fault is still present: disconnect connector A (12-track) from the climate control computer to check the
insulation, continuity and absence of interference resistance of the following connections:
Computer connector A track 10 + accessories feed (7.5 A fuse in the Protection and
Switching Unit)
Computer connector A track 11 + before ignition feed (20 A fuse of the UCH)
Computer connector A track 6 Earth (left-hand dashboard beam)
Repair if necessary.
If the connections are correct and the climate control computer is correctly supplied but the fault is still present:
carry out fault finding on the electric charge circuit.
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.

Fault finding – Conformity check
PASSENGER COMPARTMENT VENTILATION SUB-FUNCTION
NOTESOnly carry out this conformity check after a full check with the diagnostic tool (fault
reading and configuration checks).
Test conditions: engine off, ignition on (forced 12 V After ignition).
Air conditioning off
(air conditioning compressor not triggered).
Special note:
The various conformity checks
for the air conditioning function are explained in the
Introduction section.
Note:
–Read the parameters when the vehicle is cold (in the morning) to check the
conformity of the temperature parameters (without thermometer). The two
temperatures should be practically the same (as should the coolant temperature
given by the injection system).
–The invalid values given in this check correspond to the value sent by the diagnostic
tool (substitute value) when the sensor in question is faulty. A sensor fault can be
detected when these invalid values are displayed (this is an important point for
sensors on which fault finding cannot be performed, e.g. exterior temperature
sensor).
