PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FAN
NOTESSpecial note:
This status is used by the UCH to authorise the request for air conditioning which is 
sent to the injection. The UCH sends this signal to the injection to authorise the 
request to activate the passenger compartment heating resistors (only on diesel 
version): operating safety.
This status shows the operation of the passenger compartment blower.
When the passenger compartment blower is operating (from speed 1 to speed 8), the status displays: RUNNING.
When the passenger compartment blower is not operating (speed 0), the status displays STOPPED.
If the status does not operate as displayed, check that the passenger compartment blower is operating correctly. 
If the passenger compartment blower does not work, apply the fault finding procedure in Fault finding chart 
(ALP)  5 No passenger compartment ventilation.
If the passenger compartment blower operates correctly but the status displays the message OFF, check that the 
passenger compartment blower visual feedback (spiral symbol) on the control panel works correctly (increase in 
spiral bargraphs according to the eight speeds).
If the passenger compartment visual feedback (blade symbol) on the instrument panel does not work, contact 
your Techline.
If the fault is still present, perform fault finding on the multiplex network (see 88B, Multiplexing).
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.

CLIMATE CONTROL
Fault finding - Interpretation of parameters
PR001
INTERIOR TEMPERATURE
NOTESNone
The climate control computer receives the interior temperature signal through a wire connection.
Read the temperature signal when the vehicle is cold (in the morning) to check the conformity of this parameter 
(without a thermometer). The interior temperature, the exterior temperature and the engine coolant temperature 
should be practically the same.
Another way of checking whether this sensor is correct is to check the resistance value of the sensor according to 
temperature: refer to the electrical specifications of the sensor in the Help section (at the end of the document).
If the temperature displayed by this parameter is implausible, apply the fault finding procedure for fault: DF007 
Interior temperature sensor circuit.
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.

EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE
NOTESNone
The climate control computer receives the exterior temperature signal through the multiplex line via the UCH.
Read the temperature signal when the vehicle is cold (in the morning) to check the conformity of this parameter 
(without a thermometer). The interior temperature, the exterior temperature and the engine coolant temperature 
should be practically the same.
If the temperature displayed by this parameter appears inconsistent: carry out fault finding on the UCH 
(see 87B, UCH).

COOLANT TEMPERATURE
NOTESSpecial note:
The climate control computer receives the engine coolant temperature signal through 
the multiplex line via the injection system.
Read the temperature signal when the vehicle is cold (in the morning) to check the conformity of this parameter 
(without a thermometer). The interior temperature, the exterior temperature and the engine coolant temperature 
should be practically the same.
If the temperature displayed by this parameter appears inconsistent, carry out fault finding on the injection system 
(see 13B, Diesel injection or 17B, Petrol injection).

MIXER FLAP POSITION
NOTESNone
The mixer flap moves according to the temperature requested or automatically if the climate control is in 
automatic mode. The mixing motor does not have a position copy potentiometer. This parameter is therefore an 
indication of the flap position according to how the motor is being controlled by the climate control computer. As 
specified in the conformity check, in the “maximum cold” position (15 ˚C) the parameter indicates 0 % and in the 
“maximum hot” position (27 ˚C) the parameter indicates 100 %.
If the value displayed by this parameter appears inconsistent or if the parameter is consistent but the temperature 
of the blown air does not change in accordance with the user's request: apply the fault finding procedure for fault 
DF010 "Mixing motor circuit" or consult the fault finding charts ALP 6 No heating or ALP 8 No cold air 
depending on the customer complaint.
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.

BATTERY VOLTAGE
NOTESUse the Wiring Diagram Technical Note for the New Twingo.
This parameter specifies the supply voltage of the climate control computer.
This parameter must display a voltage equal to: 10.5 V < X < 14.4 V with the engine running.
Using a multimeter, check the consistency of the parameter by measuring the voltage across the battery 
terminals.
If the parameter corresponds with the voltage measured on the battery terminals, run fault finding on the electric 
charging circuit.
If the parameter does not correspond with the battery voltage, check the condition and position of fuse F29 (15A) 
in the passenger compartment fuse unit.
Consult section 81C Fuses.
Disconnect the connectors of the following components of connection SP2:
●Component connector 615
●Component connector 419
●Component connector 645
●Component connector 319
●Component connector 261
●Component connector 653
●Component connector 1428
With connector A of component 419 disconnected, check the insulation and continuity of connection SP2 
between components 419 and 1016.
If the connection or connections are faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: 
Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Check the vehicle earth connection NAM of the connector of component 419.
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 these checks do not reveal any faults, carry out a test on each of the components involved in connection 
SP2 (short circuit).
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.
