–High and low pressure pipes: (see figure below)
●The High Pressure and Low Pressure pipes are composed of rigid aluminium pipes and flexible pipes that
enable engine-related movements to be absorbed.
●Two filler valves (High Pressure and Low Pressure) can be accessed in order to fill (or drain) the refrigerant loop.
●The connections must be checked in the event of a refrigerant fluid leak.

●HEATING COMPONENTS
–Heater matrix:
The external air entering the heating and air conditioning device (HVAC) is heated by the heater matrix.
–Passenger Compartment Heating Resistors (depending on the equipment): (see figure below)
The passenger compartment heating resistors (RCH) are electrical heating devices in the air conditioning unit. This
system is an additional heating system which operates when the engine is cold (when starting).

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.

1. DEF: Internal electronic fault
NOTESConditions for running fault finding on a present or stored fault:
Apply this fault finding procedure if the fault reappears as present or stored after the
ignition is switched of f and on again.
Switch off the ignition and wait for the immobiliser warning light (Power-latch) to come one,
–Switch on the ignition again.
–Start the engine and switch on the air conditioning.
If the fault recurs, contact the Techline.
If the fault does not reappear: leave the climate control switched on and select various ventilation and air
distribution settings to check that the system is operating correctly.
–Check that no fault is displayed.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRFollow the instructions to confirm repair.
If the computer was replaced (at the request of the Techline), reconfigure the
computer (see Configurations and programming).
Deal with any other faults.

NOTESConditions for running fault finding on a present or stored fault:
Apply this fault finding procedure if the fault reappears as present or stored after the
ignition is switched on and air conditioning activation is requested with the engine
running.
Special notes:
The interior temperature sensor is located at the top of the roof in the unit under the
rear view mirror.
Use the Wiring Diagram Technical Note for the New Twingo.
Check the connection and condition (possible wiring damage) of the connector of component 1872.
If the connector is faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for the
repair), repair the connector, otherwise replace the wiring.
With connector A of component 419 and connector of union R301 disconnected, check the insulation and
continuity of the following connections between components R301 (dashboard/interior lights intermediate union)
and 419.
●connection 38JN
●connection 38GZ
If the connection or connections are faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring:
Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
With the connector of component 1872 disconnected, check the insulation and continuity of the following
connections between components R301 (dashboard/interior lights intermediate union) and 1872.
●connection 38JN
●connection 38GZ
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 insulation of connections 38JN and 38GZ of component 1872.
If the connection or connections are faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical
wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Check the resistance of component 1872 between connections 38JN and 38GZ.
Replace the sensor if the resistance is not 10 kΩΩ Ω Ω
± 500 ΩΩ Ω Ω
at 25 ˚C. For more details, consult the electrical
specifications of the sensor according to the temperature (see Help).
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRClear the stored faults.
Follow the instructions to confirm repair.
Deal with any other faults.

CLIMATE CONTROL
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.
