CLIMATE CONTROL
Fault finding - Conformity check
SUB-FUNCTION: PASSENGER COMPARTMENT VENTILATION
NOTESOnly carry out this conformity check after a complete check with the diagnostic tool
(fault reading and configuration checks).
Application conditions: engine stopped with ignition on (12 V APC), AIR
CONDITIONING OFF (air conditioning compressor not activated).
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).
Delayed illumination of the exterior temperature sensor LCD indicates that an invalid
value has been received concerning the exterior temperature sensor.

PR001
INTERIOR TEMPERATURE
NOTESNone
The climate control computer receives the interior temperature signal through a wire connection.
Read the temperature signal when the vehicle is cold (in the morning) to check the conformity of this parameter
(without a thermometer). The interior temperature, the exterior temperature and the engine coolant temperature
should be practically the same.
Another way of checking whether this sensor is correct is to check the resistance value of the sensor according to
temperature: refer to the electrical specifications of the sensor in the Help section (at the end of the document).
If the temperature displayed by this parameter is implausible, apply the fault finding procedure for fault: DF007
Interior temperature sensor circuit.
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.

EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE
NOTESNone
The climate control computer receives the exterior temperature signal through the multiplex line via the UCH.
Read the temperature signal when the vehicle is cold (in the morning) to check the conformity of this parameter
(without a thermometer). The interior temperature, the exterior temperature and the engine coolant temperature
should be practically the same.
If the temperature displayed by this parameter appears inconsistent: carry out fault finding on the UCH
(see 87B, UCH).
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.
