Carry out fault finding on the injection system to ensure that no fault is present (if faults are displayed by the
injection computer, engagement of the air conditioning may be inhibited). If there are present or stored faults,
carry out the necessary repairs (see 13B, Diesel injection or 17B, Petrol injection).
Check that the refrigerant fluid pressure is correct (neither too low nor too high) using the PR037 Refrigerant
fluid pressure parameter (see Conformity check, Cold loop sub-function).
Check that the engine cooling fan assembly is at
speed 1 by viewing the following status on the cold
loop sub-function screen:
–Status ET022 Low-speed fan assembly request
should display ACTIVE.
Note:
These statuses are not displayed by all types of
injection (see Conformity check, Cold loop sub-
function).
Does the engine cooling fan operate at low speed?
YES
NOUsing the diagnostic tool, run
command AC154 Low speed fan
assembly relay.
Does the engine cooling fan operate
at low speed?
NO YES
Connector of component 321 disconnected. Connect a
test light between connection 49L of component 321
and the chassis earth and run command AC154 Low
speed fan assembly relay.
Does the test light illuminate?
YES NO
Measure the resistance of component 321, between
connections 49L and 49B of component 321. If the
resistance measured is infinite, replace the fan assembly
resistor (component 321).
Carry out fault
finding on the
injection system
(sub-function: cold
loop and engine
cooling for low
speed fan assembly
activation).

Check the air conditioning compressor belt tension
(see Technical Note 3786A, Engine and
peripherals, 10A, Belt tension setting tool Hz
measurement: tension values).
Is the tension correct?
YES
With the engine stopped, use the diagnostic tool to
run command AC180 Air conditioning
compressor relay (injection command mode
menu).
Does the compressor clutch jam?
YES
E
NOReplace the belt (see MR 411
Mechanical, 11A, Top and front of
engine, Accessories belt:
Removal - Refitting).
NO
YESConnect a test light between connections 38R
and MAS of component 171 and run
command AC180 Air conditioning
compressor relay.
Does the test light illuminate?
NO
Connect a test light between connection 38R
of component 171 and the chassis earth, then
run command AC180 Air conditioning
compressor relay.
Does the test light illuminate?
YES
Earth fault on component 171.
If there is a repair procedure
(see Technical Note 6015A,
Repairing electrical wiring,
Wiring: Precautions for
repair), repair the wiring,
otherwise replace the wiring.
Check the condition of the
diode (component 322).
Replace the diode if it is faulty.
Replace the air conditioning
clutch (component 171) if
possible, otherwise replace
the compressor (see MR 411
Mechanical, 62A, Air
conditioning, Compressor:
Removal - Refitting).

ALP 9 Too much cold air
NOTESConsult 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 at idle speed and the heating and air conditioning off (AC button not pressed), 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, W iring:
Precautions for repair), repair the
wiring, otherwise replace it.With the vehicle ignition of f, 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,
Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning,
Compressor: Removal - Refitting).
YESReplace the air
conditioning
compressor clutch
relay.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a complete check with the diagnostic tool.

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 is controlled by pressing the rear screen de-icer
button (with time delay and rear-view mirror de-icer if fitted).
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 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.
