Faults
Faults are declared either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain situation and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain 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 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 for these lines (for oxidation, bent pins, etc),
–the resistance of the component detected as faulty,
–The condition of the wires (insulation melted or split, 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 inconsistent. Therefore, this phase 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 features 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 climate control system
The air conditioning system conformity check is divided into four parts. The parts relate to the four air conditioning
subsystems, heater, cold loop, user selection and passenger compartment ventilation.
The statuses and parameters related to these sub-functions are listed with their respective computers.
NOTE: the manual air conditioning control panel does not control electrical components and cannot be subjected to
fault finding. Therefore, there is no conformity check in the 62C Manual air conditioning section.
Customer complaints – Fault finding charts
If the test with the diagnostic tool is OK, but the customer complaint persists, the fault should be treated by
customer complaints. Note:
The interpretation of statuses, parameters and commands is also split into several sections. Everything controlled
by the air conditioning control panel is explained in the two Air conditioning sections, 62A and 62B. By contrast,
signals from other computers are explained in the "fault finding" sections for these computers (see the conformity
check).
A synopsis of the general procedure to follow is provided on the following
page in the form of a flowchart.

With the engine warm and
passenger compartment ventilation
operating, vary the position of the
mixing flap from the very cold
position to the very hot position and
check subjectively that there is a
difference in temperature.
Can you feel the difference in
temperature?
YES
NOFor climate control systems:
Carry out a conformity check on the mixing motor
(PR012 Mixing motor). If the conformity check does not
reveal any faults, look for a mechanical fault with the
mixing flap (condition of the motor's toothed sector, flap
jammed inside the unit, etc.).
For manual air conditioning and heater versions:
Check the condition and routing of the mixing flap
control cable. Eliminate any constraints on it: kinks,
cable restricted by plastic clips, etc. Replace it if
necessary. Unclip the cable from the side of the unit and
check the stiffness of movement of each component:
control button and flap control on the air distribution unit.
Check that there is no mechanical fault with the mixing
flap (flap jammed inside the unit, etc.).
Carry out any necessary repairs.
Is the fault still present?
YES
Is the lower heater matrix pipe
(coolant inlet) hot?
NOTE: Pipe located on the left-hand
side of the heater-air conditioning
unit, near the engine bulkhead.
YES
Check that the heater matrix is not blocked: The top heater matrix pipe should be hot.
NOTE: Pipe located on the left-hand side of the heater-air conditioning unit, near the engine
bulkhead. Clean the heater matrix or replace it if necessary.
Is the fault still present?
YES NO
If the vehicle is fitted with passenger compartment heating
resistors (RCH), check that these are operating correctly by
referring to the fault finding procedure in the UCH Technical Note.
NOCarry out a check on the coolant circuit and
ensure that the thermostatic valve opens at the
correct temperature.
Replace the valve if necessary.
NO
End of fault finding procedure.
AFTER REPAIRPerform a complete check using the diagnostic tool.

For climate control systems:
Using the diagnostic tool statuses and parameters screen (passenger compartment ventilation sub-function),
check that the recirculation flap is in the external air position: status ET062 Recirculation flap position should
display OPEN. If it is closed when the user does not want recirculation, use the fault finding procedure for fault:
DF021 Recirculation motor circuit.
For manual air conditioning systems:
check that the recirculation flap is in the external air position. If this is not operating correctly (impossible to change
the flap to the exterior air position), check the condition and routing of the recirculation flap control cable. Eliminate
any constraints on it: kinks, cable restricted by plastic clips, etc.
Replace it if necessary.
Check that there is no mechanical fault with the recirculation flap (flap jammed).
Carry out any necessary repairs.
Is the fault still present?
YES NO

inlet) hot?
NOTE: Pipe located on the left-hand

YES
If the vehicle is fitted with passenger compartment heating resistors,
check that these are operating correctly (not switching on
unnecessarily) by referring to the fault finding procedure contained in
the UCH technical note.
