NIGHT LIGHTING LEVEL
NOTESThe climate control computer receives the dimmer lighting level via the instrument 
panel through the multiplex line.
This parameter indicates the dimmer lighting level as a percentage.
If this parameter appears inconsistent with the air conditioning control panel lighting, contact Techline.
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.

With the distribution motor removed, manually 
activate the distribution flaps by turning the centre of 
the control fully from one side to the other.
Does the flap cover the whole range of 
movement, without any areas of resistance?
YES
Remove the footwell vent ducts (lower ducts) to 
check that the lower flap control linkages are 
present and correctly fitted (they are connected to 
the upper flaps).
Also ensure that lower flaps move when the 
distribution flap manual control is operated.
Do the footwell (lower) distribution flaps move 
when the distribution flaps are controlled?
YES
NORemove the dashboard in order to check 
that there is nothing preventing the flaps 
from moving (see MR 412, Bodywork, 
57A, Interior accessories, Dashboard: 
Removal - Refitting). Carry out any 
repairs (eliminate any foreign bodies 
which may be blocking the flaps and 
lubricate the centre of the flap control).
Replace the distribution - ventilation unit if 
it is not possible to repair it.
NOIf the mountings of the lower flap control 
linkages are not damaged: resecure the 
linkages and grease them slightly. If a 
repair is not possible or if the mountings 
are damaged: replace the distribution - 
ventilation unit.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a complete check with the diagnostic tool.

ALP 5 No passenger compartment ventilation
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic 
tool.
Special notes:
The intermediate connector is located on the distribution-ventilation unit and the 
passenger compartment blower unit control module is located slightly higher up, 
below the heater matrix pipes.
Use the W iring Diagram Technical Note for the New Twingo.
Using the diagnostic tool, check that the passenger compartment 
blower control setting given by the computer varies from 0 to 100 % by 
checking parameter PR019 PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BLOWER 
PWM SETTING (refer to the interpretation of this parameter).
Does the value vary?
Check that the control voltage (PWM) from the passenger compartment blower power module varies between 0 
and 12  V (from 0 to 100 %) by measuring this voltage between connection 38LR of component 1023 and earth 
MAN (connector disconnected).
Does the voltage vary correctly?
NOYES
Check the insulation and continuity of connection 38LR between components 419 
and 1023.
If the connection is faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, 
Wiring: Precautions for the repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace the wiring.
Before ignition feed, check for + 12 V accessories feed on connection SP3 of 
component 1023 in relation to the chassis earth.
●Check the continuity of connection MAN between the intermediate connector and 
component 1023.
●Check the continuity of connection MAN between the intermediate connector and 
the chassis earth.
If the connection is faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, 
Wiring: Precautions for the repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace the wiring.
If there is no +12 V accessories feed, check the condition and position of fuse F28 (30A) 
in the passenger compartment fuse box. Consult section 81C Fuses.
If the checks do not reveal any faults, carry out conformity check on component 1016 
and component 1428 if the vehicle is fitted with electric windows.
NOContact the 
Techline.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a complete check with the diagnostic tool.

clutch engaged?NO
            YES
With the engine stopped, check that the compressor clutch electric control operates correctly, using the 
diagnostic tool to run command AC180 Air conditioning compressor relay (injection command mode menu). 
–During the command, connection 38R of component 171 must be supplied with + 12 V.
–After the command, connection 38R of component 171 must no longer be supplied with + 12 V.
Is the connection still supplied with + 12 V after the command?

connection 38R between components 171 and 584.Check that the air conditioning compressor clutch is 
not jammed (mechanical fault).
Is the connection OK? Is the clutch still engaged?
          NO             YES             YES
If there is a repair procedure 
(see Technical Note 6015A, 
Repairing electrical wiring, 
Wiring: Precautions for repair), 
repair the wiring, otherwise 
replace it.With the vehicle ignition off, check

ALP 10 Inefficient rear screen de-icing/demisting
NOTESCarry out this conformity check after a full check using the diagnostic tool 
(fault reading, especially UCH and injection faults and configuration checks).
Check that the fuses are sound.
Use a multimeter and a 21 W test light.
Use the Wiring Diagram Technical Note, NEW TWINGO.
Special notes:
Check that the inside of the windows are not greasy as this reduces the efficiency of 
the de-icing.
Note:
The de-icing control is only authorised when the engine is running to save power. 
The rear screen de-icer control is activated by pressing the de-icing button at the 
bottom of the climate control panel in manual mode (with time delay and rear-view 
mirror de-icer).
Ensure that there are no water leaks in the passenger compartment which would significantly increase the 
moisture and reduce the effectiveness of the demisting function (see ALP 12 if the fault is noted).
Is the fault still present?
                                      YES NO
Check that the UCH is correctly configured by viewing the configuration reading LC013 Type of air conditioning. 
Reconfigure the UCH if necessary.
Check that the UCH receives the signal about the 
status and operation of the engine. In the Cold Loop 
screen, status ET142 "engine operating phase" 
should display RUNNING.
Is status ET142 RUNNING?
YES
End of fault finding procedure.
NOCarry out fault finding on the UCH 
(interpretation of status ET142) and on the 
multiplex network.
