1. SCOPE OF THIS DOCUMENT
This document presents the fault finding procedure applicable to all computers with the following specifications:
2. PREREQUISITES FOR FAULT FINDING
Documentation type:
Fault finding procedures (this manual):
–Assisted fault finding (integrated into the diagnostic tool), Dialogys.
Wiring Diagrams:
–Visu-Schéma (CD-ROM), paper version.
Type of diagnostic tools:
–CLIP
Type of special tooling required:
3. RECAP
Procedure
To run fault finding on the vehicle's computers, switch on the ignition in fault finding mode (forced + after ignition
feed).
Proceed as follows:
–Renault card in the card reader (keyless vehicle scenario 1, standard, not hands-free and scenario 2, top of
the range, hands-free),
–press and hold the Start button (longer than 5 seconds) with start-up conditions not fulfilled,
–then connect the diagnostic tool and perform the required operations.
To cut off + after ignition, proceed as follows:
–disconnect the diagnostic tool,
–press the Start button twice briefly (less than 3 seconds),
–check that the + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer warning lights on the
instrument panel have gone out. Vehicle: Scénic II
Function concerned: Climate controlComputer name: Careg
Program No.: 0003
Vdiag No.: 44
SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED
Multimeter
Elé. 1681 Universal bornier
Note:
The left-hand and right-hand xenon bulb computers are powered when the dipped headlights are lit. Fault finding
procedures can only be carried out on them after the ignition has been switched on in fault finding mode (+ after
ignition imposed) and the dipped headlights are on.

Faults:
Faults are declared as either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but have not been diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used after the
+ after ignition feed has been supplied (without acting on the system components).
For a present fault, apply the procedure described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the instructions in the Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the notes are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the fault.
If the fault is not confirmed, check:
–The electrical lines which correspond to the fault,
–The connectors on these lines (corrosion, bent pins, etc.),
–The resistance of the faulty component,
–The condition of the wiring (insulation melted or cut, chafing, etc.).
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check statuses and parameters that do not produce a fault display on the
diagnostic tool when they are inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
–carry out fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer complaint,
–check that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault recurring after repairs.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for statuses and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a status is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside the permitted tolerance values, consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Notes about the conformity check for the air conditioning system
All variables (statuses and parameters) and commands required for the air conditioning function are divided into four
sub-functions:
–the COLD LOOP sub-function, which groups together all the information required for producing cold air,
–the USER SELECTION sub-function, which groups together all the information relating to the user's requests
(buttons pressed, warning lights, etc.),
–the HEATING sub-function, which groups together all the information required for producing warm air,
–the PASSENGER COMPARTMENT VENTILATION sub-function, which groups together all the information
relating to ventilation, distribution and air distribution within the passenger compartment.

You will always be asked for this sheet:
●When requesting technical assistance from the Techline.
●For certification requests when replacing parts that must be certified.
●To be enclosed when returning monitored parts on request. The log is needed for warranty compensation, and
enables better analysis of the removed parts.
6. SAFETY ADVICE
All work on components requires obeying safety rules to prevent physical damage or human injury:
–Make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low charge.
–Do not smoke.
–Use the appropriate tools.
5. FAULT FINDING LOG
WARNING!IMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system call for thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools. The
FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the fault finding procedure, ensures a
record is kept of the procedure carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the
manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE COMPULSORY TO COMPLETE A FAULT FINDING LOG
EVERY TIME
A FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED.

CLIMATE CONTROL
Fault finding – System operation
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The climate control system fitted on the SCENIC is controlled by four computers. This system is called a
DISTRIBUTED FUNCTION. Fault finding on the climate control is performed in two different ways using the
diagnostic tool. The first method consists of performing fault finding on each computer which allows
communications to be established with just one computer (select the climate control computer). The second
procedure consists of performing fault finding on each function which allows communications to be established
with all four computers of the AIR CONDITIONING function. These two fault finding methods are described in the
introduction of this repair manual.
DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERA
TION OF THE CLIMATE CONTROL COMPUTER:
The climate control computer controls the passenger compartment ventilation, the distribution motor, the mixing
motor and the recirculation motor.
The climate control computer also controls two sensors, these being the interior temperature sensor and the solar
radiation sensor.
The two sensors and the three motors are connected to the climate control computer by wire connections. The
climate control computer controls the passenger compartment ventilation using a modulated control signal (square
signal) sent to a power module (wire connection).
All other signals used by the climate control computer or transmitted by this computer to other computers are sent on
the multiplex network.
Cold air production (cold loop) and warm air production (heating) are controlled by the other three computers
involved in the Air conditioning function (UCH, protection and switching unit and injection computer).
The main signals used by the climate control computer are:
–+ 12 V sidelights,
–0 V rheostat controlled,
–exterior temperature,
–engine coolant temperature,
–engine operating status,
–engine speed,
–electrical power consumed,
–request to set the blown air temperature.
OPERA
TING NOTES:
–When the engine is switched off, the passenger compartment blower unit operates approximately 30% slower than
the requested speed (control panel setting).
–If any of the actuators are faulty, the air conditioning can no longer control them, but the setting requests are still
displayed on the control panel: warning lights light up, display of symbols on the control panel (distribution motor
position, passenger compartment blower speed, AC symbol, etc.).
–If the exterior 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 exterior
temperature sensor by the UCH).
