NOTESConditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
Apply this fault finding procedure if the fault appears as present or stored again after:
–clearing the fault and switching the ignition off then back on.
Special notes:
The solar sensor (a little black button) is located on top of the dashboard, on the
windscreen side.
Check that the solar sensor is not "shaded" by any objects (nothing should be placed on top of the sensor).
Check the connection and condition of the solar radiation sensor connector.
Replace the connector if necessary.
Disconnect connector A (12-track) from the climate control computer in order to check the insulation,
continuity and absence of interference resistance of the connections:
Computer connector A track 4 Track 2 of the solar radiation sensor
Computer connector A track 12 Track 1 of the solar radiation sensor
Track 5 of the internal temperature sensor
Repair if necessary.
With the ignition on, the solar radiation sensor electrically connected and the climate control panel on, ensure
that the solar radiation sensor supplies a voltage (signal) to the climate control computer.
To find out the voltage that the sensor should be supplying as a function of solar radiation intensity, consult the
interpretation of this parameter (Interpretation of parameters section).
If the fault is still present, replace the solar radiation sensor.
AFTER REPAIRClear the fault memory.
Deal with any other faults.

COMPUTER + AFTER IGNITION FEED
NOTESNone.
This status shows the + 12 V after ignition feed supplied by the Protection and Switching Unit.
When the ignition is off, the status displays: ABSENT.
When the ignition is on, the status displays: PRESENT.
If the fault is still present, carry out fault finding on the Protection and Switching Unit: Check that status
ET003 After ignition relay control is working correctly and check that fault DF001 After ignition relay control
circuit is not present.
Carry out any repairs necessary (see corresponding fault finding procedures).
If the fault is still present: disconnect connector A (12-track) from the climate control computer to check the
insulation, continuity and absence of interference resistance of the following connections:
Computer connector A track 10 + accessories feed (7.5 A fuse in the Protection and
Switching Unit)
Computer connector A track 11 + before ignition feed (20 A fuse of the UCH)
Computer connector A track 6 Earth (left-hand dashboard beam)
Repair if necessary.
If the connections are correct and the climate control computer is correctly supplied but the fault is still present:
carry out fault finding on the electric charge circuit.
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.

RECIRCULATION FLAP POSITION
NOTESSpecial notes:
Climate control does not have automatic recirculation. However, in extreme
temperatures (above 35 ˚C) and when the air conditioning is switched on, the
recirculation flap sets itself to the recirculation position in order to warm up the
passenger compartment more quickly.
This status specifies the position of the recirculation flap.
If the flap is in the external air position, the status displays: OPEN.
If the flap is in the recirculation position, the status displays: CLOSED.
If the status does not operate as shown, use the fault finding procedure for fault DF021 Recirculation motor
circuit.
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.

HEATED REAR SCREEN: AUTO MODE
NOTESNone.
This status specifies whether the heated rear screen is operated in automatic mode or not. This mode
corresponds to the SEE CLEAR function. This function switches on the heated rear screen, the heated door
mirrors, the air conditioning and the windscreen ventilation at high speed.
The heated rear screen will operate for as long as the SEE CLEAR function is requested (permanently
controlled).
This automatic mode is obtained by pressing the de-icing button at the top of the air conditioning control panel.
If the SEE CLEAR function is requested, the status should display: ACTIVE.
If the SEE CLEAR function is not requested, the status should display: INACTIVE.
If the status does not operate as shown, refer to ALP 10 in Section 62A Air conditioning.
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.

HEATED REAR SCREEN: MANUAL MODE
NOTESNone.
This status specifies whether the heated rear screen is being operated in manual mode. This mode
corresponds to a timed operating period for the heated rear screen, controlled by the UCH.
This timed period depends on the exterior temperature (approximately 15 minutes).
Operation in manual mode is obtained by pressing the de-icing button at the bottom of the air conditioning
control panel. This function is used to switch on the heated rear screen and the heated door mirrors.
If operation of the heated rear screen is requested in manual mode, the status should display: ACTIVE.
If operation of the heated rear screen is not requested, the status should display: INACTIVE.
If the status does not operate as shown, refer to ALP 10 in Section 62A Air conditioning.

PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BLOWER
NOTESSpecial note:
This status is used by the UCH to authorise engagement of the passenger
compartment heating resistors (RCH): operating safety.
This status shows the operation of the passenger compartment blower.
When the passenger compartment blower is operating (from speed 1 to speed 8), the status displays:
RUNNING.
When the passenger compartment blower is not operating (speed 0), the status displays: STOPPED.
If the status does not operate as displayed, check that the passenger compartment blower is operating
correctly. If the passenger compartment blower does not work, apply the fault finding procedure in ALP 5 no
passenger compartment ventilation.
If the passenger compartment blower works correctly but the status displays the message STOPPED, check
that the passenger compartment blower visual return (propeller symbol) on the control panel works correctly
(increase in propeller bargraphs according to the eight speeds).
If the passenger compartment blower visual return (propeller symbol) does not work: Contact your Techline.
If the fault is still present, carry out fault finding on the multiplex network.
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.

NOTESNote:
For more information, refer to the compressor switch-on request flowchart in Section
62A Air conditioning.
This status specifies whether the request to switch on air conditioning has been sent by the climate control
computer to the UCH or not.
When operation of the air conditioning is requested, the status should display ACTIVE.
When operation of the air conditioning is not requested, the status should display INACTIVE.
If the status does not operate as shown, contact your Techline.

PR001
INTERIOR TEMPERATURE
NOTESNone.
The climate control computer receives the interior temperature signal through a wire connection.
To ensure this parameter is correct (without using a thermometer), simply read the temperature information
when the vehicle is cold (in the morning). 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.
If the temperature displayed by this parameter seems to be incorrect, apply the fault finding procedure for fault:
DF007 Interior temperature sensor circuit.
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.

SOLAR RADIATION
NOTESNone.
The solar sensor is used to improve the comfort level of the air conditioning according to the windscreen solar
radiation.
This sensor measures the solar radiation level and transmits the information to the climate control computer
in the form of a measurement in W/m
2. This measurement ranges from 0 to 400 W. The sensor is faulty if it
gives a value of 400 W although the vehicle is in the shade (in the workshop) as this value equals maximum
solar radiation.
If the value displayed by this parameter seems to be incorrect: check the signal transmitted by the sensor
based on the solar radiation, by measuring between track 2 of the sensor and earth (solar sensor connected
electrically, ignition on and control panel on).
0 W 4.91 V
50 W 4.28 V
100 W 3.70 V
200 W 2.55 V
300 W 1.40 V
400 W 0.30 V
If the fault is still present, apply the fault finding procedure for fault: DF026 Solar sensor circuit.
