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.

CLIMATE CONTROL
Fault finding - Function
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The climate control function which is fitted to the new Twingo depends on the three computers: injection, UCH and 
climate control (DISTRIBUTED FUNCTION).
Fault finding on the air conditioning is performed in two different ways using the diagnostic tool.
The first procedure consists of performing fault finding on each computer which allows dialogue to be established 
with just one computer (select the climate control computer).
The second procedure consists of performing fault finding on each function which allows communication with all 
three computers belonging to the CLIMATE CONTROL function.
DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATION OF THE CLIMATE CONTROL COMPUTER:
The climate control computer controls the passenger compartment ventilation, the distribution motor, the mixing 
motor and the recirculation motor.
The climate control computer also controls the interior temperature sensor.
The sensor and the three motors are connected to the climate control computer by wire connections. The climate 
control computer controls the passenger compartment ventilation using a modulated control signal (square pulse 
signal) sent to a power module (MVPE) by a wire connection.
All other signals used by the climate control computer or transmitted by this computer to other computers are sent on 
the multiplex network.
The production of cold air (cold loop) and hot air (heating) is controlled by the other two computers involved in the 
CLIMATE CONTROL function (UCH and engine injection computer).
Special notes on operation:
–When the engine is stopped, the passenger compartment fan rotates more slowly than when the engine is 
running.
–If any of the actuators are faulty, the air conditioning can no longer control them, but the setting requests are still 
displayed on the control panel: warning lights light up, display of symbols on the control panel (distribution motor 
position, passenger compartment blower speed, AC symbol, etc.).

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).

PRESENT
OR
STOREDCOMPUTER
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.

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.
