–Insulation between components BP9 and 3JAC or 3JC of component 1069 or 1550.
– Measure the resistance between connections 3FB and 3JAB of component 1069 or 1550.
Replace the relay if the resistance is greater than 1 kΩ or less than 6 Ω.
Check the absence of interference resistance of the following connection:
•3JAB between components 120 and 1069 or 1550.
Also check the insulation on the following connections:

Conformity check with engine stopped and ignition on, or engine running, and engine coolant
temperature > 80°C
"INACTIVE"Statuses ET024, ET025, and ET026 are INACTIVE when the ignition is switched on
with the engine stopped, or when the engine is warm.
"ACTIVE"Statuses ET024, ET025, and ET026 are ACTIVE when:
– the engine has been started,
– and the engine coolant temperature is low (< 15°C),
– and the air temperature is low (< 5°C).
This strategy allows the engine coolant to be heated and to allow the heating of the
passenger compartment.
To control the operation of the thermoplunger relays, run the following commands:
– AC063 Thermoplunger no. 1 relay,
– AC064 Thermoplunger no. 2 relay,

There must be no present or stored faults:
Perform this fault finding procedure if there is a fault with the passenger compartment
heating - demisting.
Use the Wiring Diagram Technical Note, Laguna II ph2, Vel Satis ph2, Espace IV

If the Thermoplunger no. 3 relay or the additional heater interface unit does not function when command
AC031 is run.
Check the condition of the thermoplunger 3 relay mounting on the engine fuse box or the additional heater
interface unit (see Wiring Diagram Technical Note, Vehicle, component code 1069 or 1550).
Check the condition of the engine management computer connector (see Wiring Diagram Technical Note,
Vehicle, component code 120).
If the connector or connectors are faulty and if there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical
wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the connector, otherwise replace the wiring.
if the fault is still present, check as follows that this relay is controlled by the engine management computer:
Disconnect the thermoplunger no. 3 relay and fit a 50 Ω to 100Ω resistor on its mounting instead of the coil and
connect a voltmeter as follows:
– positive terminal to + 12 V battery,
– negative terminal to connection 3JAB of component 1069 or 1550.
Run command AC031.
If the voltmeter indicates the battery voltage (4 ON-OFF cycles of 10 seconds), replace the thermoplunger no. 3
relay.
If the voltmeter does not show the battery voltage (4 ON-OFF cycles of 10 seconds), contact the Techline.
