NOTESOnly refer to this customer complaint after a full check of the multiplex network
and the air conditioning with the fault finding tool.
Special notes:
With the ignition on, the control panel screen is permanently on but the panel buttons
only light up when the sidelights are switched on.
Note:
If the external temperature sensor is faulty, the climate control computer is
switched on 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on (this allows a fault to be
identified as fault finding cannot be performed on the external temperature sensor
by the UCH).
Is the fault common to other components (instrument panel,
multifunction display, electric window buttons, etc.)?
YES

NOTESOnly deal with this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool
(fault reading and configuration checks).
Check that the computers involved in the air conditioning function (Injection, Protection and
Switching Unit, UCH and Air conditioning control panel) are correctly configured.
Reconfigure if necessary (see 62A, Air conditioning, Configurations and Configuration reading).
Check that:
–the compressor fitted to the vehicle corresponds correctly to the engine (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air
conditioning, Air conditioning: Parts and consumables for the repair).

Mechanical, 11A, Top and front of engine, Accessories belt: Removal - Refitting).
Check that the intermediate pipes, condenser and dehydrator reservoir are correctly fitted.
–Check the mountings and brackets of the components.
–Check the contact between and proximity of the components.
(see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Air conditioning: List and location of components).
Check the correct operation of the cooling fan assembly or passenger compartment fan assembly and
condenser:
–check the electrical supply of the fan using parameters ET007 High speed fan assembly control, AC009 Low
speed fan assembly and AC010 High speed fan assembly (see 62A, Air conditioning, Conformity check,
Cold loop sub-function).

MEASURING THE CONTROL VOLTAGE OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BLOWER
POWER MODULE
There are two ways to measure the control voltage of the passenger compartment blower power module:
1 / MEASURING USING
A MULTIMETER (in the voltmeter position, direct voltage measurement):
With the power module connector connected, measure across track 6 of the module and the earth.
At speed 0 the voltage measured is equal to the battery voltage (± 1 V) and at speed 8 the voltage is 5 V (± 0.5 V). The
voltage varies between 0 and 14 V for the seven intermediate speeds.
Examples of measurements taken with the voltmeter with the engine at idling speed (values given as a guide):
2 / MEASURING USING
AN OSCILLOSCOPE (Optima 5800, CLIP technique):
The blower power module is controlled by pulse width modulated control voltage (PWM).
This control voltage is always 12 V, it is the control signal (square signal) that varies:
the amplitude and frequency do not vary but instead the high status (12 V) varies in relation to the low status (5 V).
To take the measurement, connect the earth lead of the oscilloscope to the battery earth and the measuring lead of the
oscilloscope to track 6 (6-track connector) of the power module (module connector connected).
Adjust the time base on the oscilloscope to 500 µµ µ µ
s per division with a calibration of 5 V per division.
The signals obtained should be: a straight line at 14 V (± 1 V) for speed 0, and a straight line at 5 V (± 0.5 V) for speed 8.
Examples of measurements taken with the oscilloscope with the engine at idling speed (for information only):

Operation of the engine cooling fan assembly according to the refrigerant fluid pressure
and vehicle speed.
GMV = 1 Engine cooling fan low speed
GMV = 2 Engine cooling fan high speed
GMV = 0 Engine cooling fan stopped
The engine cooling fan assembly is not used for vehicle speeds over 42 mph (70 km/h), except in rare cases where
the refrigerant fluid pressure is above 23 bar in spite of the speed (e.g.: driving behind a lorry).
When stationary, the engine cooling fan is used systematically at low speed if the refrigerant fluid relative pressure is
below 19 bar, at high speed in the opposite case.
While driving, the engine cooling fan may either not operate, or operate at low or high speed depending on the
refrigerant fluid pressure at the condenser outlet and the vehicle speed.Pressure (relative bar)
