ALP 9 Too much cold air
NOTESOnly refer to this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool (fault
reading and configuration checks).
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?
YES
With the engine stopped, use the diagnostic tool to run command AC008
COMPRESSOR CONTROL (Protection and Switching Unit command mode menu) to
check the correct operation of the compressor clutch electrical control.
During the command, track A of the compressor clutch must be supplied with + 12 volts.
If the + 12 volts feed is still present after the command has terminated: refer to the
interpretation of this command (check the continuity and insulation against + 12 volts
of the electrical connection between the UPC and the compressor clutch).
If there are no faults on the compressor command line but the clutch remains engaged:
check that the air conditioning compressor clutch is not seized (mechanical fault).
Replace the air conditioning compressor if necessary.
Is the fault still present?
YES
NO
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:
External air temperature and
engine coolant temperature.
For regulated 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
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
Check the refrigerant fluid
level.
NO
NOCarry out a conformity
check on the sensors (refer
to the relevant section).
Replace any faulty
components.
For 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 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.
AFTER REPAIRPerform a complete check using the diagnostic tool.

ALP 10 Inefficient rear screen de-icing or demisting
NOTESOnly refer to this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool (fault
readings, especially those of the Protection and Switching Unit, and configuration
checks).
Special notes:
–Check that the inside of the glass is not greasy as this lowers the de-icing efficiency.
N.B.: for electric power drain reasons, de-icing can only be activated when the
engine is running.
Rear screen de-icing can be activated in two ways:
–Pressing the de-icing button (at the bottom of the control panel) switches on the
heated rear screen in manual mode (with timer) and heated door mirrors.
–Pressing the de-icing button at the top of the control panel activates the "See clear"
function: heated rear screen in automatic mode (no timer) heated door mirrors, air
conditioning and high speed windscreen ventilation all switched on.
Check that there are no water leaks into the passenger compartment
which would significantly increase the humidity levels and reduce the
effectiveness of demisting. Repair if necessary (see ALP 12).
Is the fault still present?
YES
Check for earth on the right-hand side terminal of the heated rear screen.
Repair if necessary.
Use the diagnostic tool to run command AC011 Heated
rear screen (Protection and Switching Unit command
mode menu).
Is the 12 V feed present on the left-hand connector
of the heated rear screen?
NO
NO
YESEnd of fault finding
procedure.
If the 12 V feed and earth both arrive
correctly at the heated rear screen
terminals but the screen still does not
operate correctly: unclip the plastic
rear screen pillars and check that the
de-icing lines are not broken. The
resistance of the lines should be
neither zero nor infinity (average
0.5 Ω). Repair if necessary.
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.
