Fault finding - Introduction

Vdiag No.: 44

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 switched on
after the + after ignition feed (without any system components being active).
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 instructions in the Notes section 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 component detected as faulty,
–the condition of the wires (melted or split insulation, wear).
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool because the
data is 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.
Special notes on the conformity check for the air conditioning function:
All variables (statuses and parameters) and commands required for the air conditioning function are divided into
three sub-functions:
●The COLD LOOP sub-function groups together all the information required for producing cold air.
●The HEATING sub-function groups together all the information required for producing warm air.
●The PASSENGER COMPARTMENT VENTILATION sub-function groups together all the information relating to
ventilation and the mixing and distribution of air within the passenger compartment.

4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (CONTINUED)
Wiring check
Fault finding problems
Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring harness may temporarily remove the cause of a fault.
Electrical measurements of voltage, resistance and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is not
present when the analysis is made (stored fault).
Visual inspection of the connection:
●Check that the connector is connected correctly and that the male and female parts of the connection are
correctly coupled.
Visual inspection of the area around the connection:
●Check the condition of the mounting (pin, strap, adhesive tape, etc.) if the connectors are attached to the
vehicle.
●Check that there is no damage to the wiring trim (sheath, foam, adhesive tape, etc.) near the wiring.
●Check that there is no damage to the electrical wires at the connector outlets, in particular on the
insulating material (wear, cuts, burns, etc.).
Disconnect the connector to continue the checks.
Visual inspection of the plastic casing:
●Check that there is no mechanical damage (casing crushed, cracked, broken, etc.), in particular to the
fragile components (lever, lock, openings, etc.).
●Check that there is no heat damage (casing melted, darker, deformed, etc.).
●Check that there are no stains (grease, mud, liquid, etc.).
Visual inspection of the metal contacts:
(The female contact is called CLIP. The male contact is called TAB.)
●Check that there are no bent contacts (the contact is not inserted correctly and can come out of the back
of the connector). The spring contact of the connector when the wire is gently pulled.
●Check that there is no damage (folded tabs, clips open too wide, blackened or melted contact, etc.).
●Check that there is no oxidation on the metal contacts. Note:
Carry out each requested check visually. Do not remove a connector if it is not required.
Note:
Repeated connections and disconnections alter the functionality of the connectors and increase the risk of poor
electrical contact. Limit the number of connections/disconnections as much as possible.
Note:
The check is carried out on the 2 parts of the connection. There may be two types of connections:
–Connector / Connector
–Connector / Device

CLIMATE CONTROL
Fault finding - Replacement of components
REPLACING THE CLIMATE CONTROL COMPUTER
–Note the computer configuration according to the optional equipment fitted on the vehicle (see climate control
computer configuration) or using the Shared World Information (ICM).
–Ensure that the ignition is switched off.
–After approval from the Techline, replace the computer.
–Switch on the ignition and carry out a check using the diagnostic tool.
–Configure the computer according to the vehicle specifications.
–Switch off the ignition and then back on for the configurations to register.
–Check in the Read configuration menu that the configurations have been recognised correctly.
–Check for faults and apply the corresponding fault finding procedure for any faults shown on the diagnostic tool.
–Clear any stored faults.
–Run command VP001 Enter VIN.
–Start the engine, switch on the air conditioning and ensure that it is operating correctly. WARNING
Before replacing the climate control computer, check that it is faulty (read faults, conformity of variables,
read customer complaints). Replacement of the computer must be authorised by the Techline after a fault
finding log has been completed and submitted.

CLIMATE CONTROL
Fault finding - Configuration and programming
CLIMATE CONTROL COMPUTER CONFIGURATION
The climate control computer has three configuration functions. These configurations need to be set after replacing
the computer.
These three configurations are important as they ensure that climate control is optimised within the vehicle (better
control compared to automatic air conditioning). If these configurations are not entered correctly, cold air and warm
air production will be severely affected.
These configurations can be accessed in repair mode by the diagnostic tool and can only be entered using
the fault finding by computer menu as opposed to the fault finding by function menu.
These configurations can also be read using the diagnostic tool in repair mode to ensure they have been correctly
set. Configurations can be read in fault finding by computer mode and fault finding by function mode.

WARNING
–The "ZONE 1" configuration must be selected for HOT AND HUMID COUNTRIES which correspond to the
technical and legislative criteria available on the Shared World Information.
–The "ZONE 2" configuration must be selected for TEMPERATE COUNTRIES which correspond to the
technical and legislative criteria available on the Shared World Information.
Note:
In hot and humid climates, when the heating and air conditioning system is in operation, condensation
may form on the outside of the windscreen.
The "ZONE 1" configuration corrects this customer complaint.
Note:
In fault finding by function mode, the diagnostic tool can also display the configuration readings of the other
computers involved in the air conditioning function. All of the air conditioning function configurations (of the
injection computer and UCH computer) are listed (See 62C, Air conditioning).

Fault finding - Conformity check
SUB-FUNCTION: PASSENGER COMPARTMENT VENTILATION
NOTESOnly carry out this conformity check after a complete check with the diagnostic tool
(fault reading and configuration checks).
Application conditions: engine stopped with ignition on (12 V APC), AIR
CONDITIONING OFF (air conditioning compressor not activated).
Note:
–Read the parameters when the vehicle is cold (in the morning) to check the
conformity of the temperature parameters (without thermometer). The two
temperatures should be practically the same (as should the coolant temperature
given by the injection system).
–The invalid values given in this check correspond to the value sent by the diagnostic
tool (substitute value) when the sensor in question is faulty. A sensor fault can be
detected when these invalid values are displayed (this is an important point for
sensors on which fault finding cannot be performed, e.g. exterior temperature
sensor).
Delayed illumination of the exterior temperature sensor LCD indicates that an invalid
value has been received concerning the exterior temperature sensor.
