1. DEF:   Internal electronic fault
NOTESConditions for running fault finding on a present or stored fault:
Apply this fault finding procedure if the fault reappears as present or stored after the 
ignition is switched of f and on again.
Switch off the ignition and wait for the immobiliser warning light (Power-latch) to come one,
–Switch on the ignition again.
–Start the engine and switch on the air conditioning.
If the fault recurs, contact the Techline.
If the fault does not reappear: leave the climate control switched on and select various ventilation and air 
distribution settings to check that the system is operating correctly.
–Check that no fault is displayed.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRFollow the instructions to confirm repair.
If the computer was replaced (at the request of the Techline), reconfigure the 
computer (see Configurations and programming).
Deal with any other faults.

NOTESConditions for running fault finding on a present or stored fault:
Apply this fault finding procedure if the fault reappears as present or stored after the 
ignition is switched on and air conditioning activation is requested with the engine 
running.
Special notes:
The interior temperature sensor is located at the top of the roof in the unit under the 
rear view mirror.
Use the Wiring Diagram Technical Note for the New Twingo.
Check the connection and condition (possible wiring damage) of the connector of component 1872.
If the connector is faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for the 
repair), repair the connector, otherwise replace the wiring.
With connector A of component 419 and connector of union R301 disconnected, check the insulation and 
continuity of the following connections between components R301 (dashboard/interior lights intermediate union) 
and 419.
●connection 38JN 
●connection 38GZ 
If the connection or connections are faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: 
Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
With the connector of component 1872 disconnected, check the insulation and continuity of the following 
connections between components R301 (dashboard/interior lights intermediate union) and 1872.
●connection 38JN 
●connection 38GZ 
If the connection or connections are faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: 
Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Check the insulation of connections 38JN and 38GZ of component 1872.
If the connection or connections are faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical 
wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Check the resistance of component 1872 between connections 38JN and 38GZ.
Replace the sensor if the resistance is not 10 kΩΩ Ω Ω
 ± 500 ΩΩ Ω Ω
 at 25 ˚C. For more details, consult the electrical 
specifications of the sensor according to the temperature (see Help).
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.

ALP 9 Too much cold air
NOTESOnly deal with this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool 
(fault reading and configuration checks).
Check that the fuses are sound.
Use a multimeter and a 21 W test light.
Use the Wiring Diagram Technical Note, NEW TWINGO.
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?NO
            YES
With the engine stopped, check that the compressor clutch electric control operates correctly, using the 
diagnostic tool to run command AC180 Air conditioning compressor relay (injection command mode menu). 
–During the command, connection 38R of component 171 must be supplied with + 12 V.
–After the command, connection 38R of component 171 must no longer be supplied with + 12 V.
Is the connection still supplied with + 12 V after the command?
            YES           NO
Check the continuity and insulation from + 12 V of 
connection 38R between components 171 and 584.Check that the air conditioning compressor clutch is 
not jammed (mechanical fault).
Is the connection OK? Is the clutch still engaged?
          NO             YES             YES
If there is a repair procedure 
(see Technical Note 6015A, 
Repairing electrical wiring, 
Wiring: Precautions for repair), 
repair the wiring, otherwise 
replace it.With the vehicle ignition off, check 
that the compressor clutch relay is 
not “jammed”, by checking the 
continuity between connection 
38R and connection AP3 of 
component 584. 
Is the continuity present?
          NO
Apply the fault finding procedure for 
command AC180 Air  conditioning 
compressor relay (see 13B Diesel 
injection or 17B Petrol injection).
Is the fault still present?
Replace the air conditioning 
compressor (see MR 411,

ALP 10 Inefficient rear screen de-icing/demisting
NOTESCarry out this conformity check after a full check using the diagnostic tool 
(fault reading, especially UCH and injection faults and configuration checks).
Check that the fuses are sound.
Use a multimeter and a 21 W test light.
Use the Wiring Diagram Technical Note, NEW TWINGO.
Special notes:
Check that the inside of the windows are not greasy as this reduces the efficiency of 
the de-icing.
Note:
The de-icing control is only authorised when the engine is running to save power. 
The rear screen de-icer control is activated by pressing the de-icing button at the 
bottom of the climate control panel in manual mode (with time delay and rear-view 
mirror de-icer).
Ensure that there are no water leaks in the passenger compartment which would significantly increase the 
moisture and reduce the effectiveness of the demisting function (see ALP 12 if the fault is noted).
Is the fault still present?
                                      YES NO
Check that the UCH is correctly configured by viewing the configuration reading LC013 Type of air conditioning. 
Reconfigure the UCH if necessary.
Check that the UCH receives the signal about the 
status and operation of the engine. In the Cold Loop 
screen, status ET142 "engine operating phase" 
should display RUNNING.
Is status ET142 RUNNING?
YES
End of fault finding procedure.
NOCarry out fault finding on the UCH 
(interpretation of status ET142) and on the 
multiplex network.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
