For petrol vehicles:
Use the XR25 injection fiche which corresponds to the vehicle.
With the engine running, operate the AC then check on the XR25 fiche whether the " AC authorisation"
status bargraph is illuminated.
Is the bargraph illuminated?
There is a problem at the injection end.
Refer to the injection fault finding procedure which corresponds to the vehicle.
Check the continuity and absence of short circuits of the electrical wiring.
Repair if necessary.
Check that 12 volts is present on tracks 2 and 17 of the air conditioning control
unit 30-way connector.
Is 12 volts present?
YES There is a problem at the injection end.
Refer to the injection fault finding procedure which corresponds to
the vehicle.
NO Check whether the evaporator temperature sensor is in place.
Check its resistance: disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor
and measure the resistance at its terminals. The resistance measured
should be between 90 ohms and 13.7 kohms.
If the evaporator temperature sensor is in good condition, change
the air conditioning control unit.
If the evaporator temperature sensor is not in good condition,
change it.

The passenger compartment fan operates.
Check that left-hand bargraph 13 is
extinguished. This relates to the inhibiting of
heating/ventilation/air conditioning by the
injection or the automatic gearbox.
Is this bargraph extinguished?
Using the XR25, measure the pressures of the
coolant circuit by entering #16 or use
pressure gauges.
The pressures should be:
- high pressure < 28 bars,
- low pressure > 2 bars.
Is this correct?
Check that the components which were removed are connected correctly.

Check that the recirculation flap does not
remain in the recirculated air position.
Operate the control button
and check that the flap moves.
Does it move?
Check that the action of the
heater control
moves the flap.
Does it move?
Visually check that
the flap travel is complete.
Is it correct?
Check the coolant circuit pressures using the
XR25 or pressure gauges.
The fan assembly operates if the high
pressure ≥ 20 bars and stops if the pressure
≤15 bars.
If the pressures are correct, change
the pressure sensor, otherwise, top up
the coolant circuit.
Check that the components which were removed are connected correctly.

It should be:
- operating if high pressure≥ 20 bars
- stopped if high pressure≤ 15 bars
Is the operation of the fan assembly normal?

With the vehicle stationary, engine running
at idle, air conditioning on maximum,
measure the pressure of the coolant circuit.
If the pressure is > 28 bars, there is :
- too much fluid,
- or the operation of the fan assembly is ab-
normal,
- or the condenser is clogged,
- or the engine heats up too much.
Is the pressure < 28 bars ?
