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.

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.

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.

Carry out fault finding on the injection system to ensure that no fault is present (if faults are displayed by the injection
computer, engagement of the air conditioning may be inhibited). If there are present or stored faults, carry out the necessary
repairs (see 13B, Diesel injection or 17B, Petrol injection).
Check that the refrigerant fluid pressure is correct (neither too low nor too high) using the PR037 Refrigerant fluid
pressure parameter (see Conformity check, Cold loop sub-function).
Check that the engine cooling fan assembly is at speed 1 by
viewing the following status on the cold loop sub-function
screen:
- Status ET022 Low-speed fan assembly request should
display ACTIVE.
Note:
These statuses are not displayed by all types of injection
(see Conformity check, Cold loop sub-function).

Connector of component 321 disconnected. Connect a test
light between connection 49L of component 321 and the
chassis earth and run command AC154 Low speed fan
assembly relay.
Does the test light illuminate?

Carry out fault finding
on the injection
system (sub-function:
cold loop and engine

Measure the resistance of component 321, between connections
49L and 49B of component 321. If the resistance measured is
infinite, replace the fan assembly resistor (component 321).D

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
that the compressor clutch relay is
not “jammed”, by checking the
continuity between connection

component 584.
Is the continuity present?
NO
Apply the fault finding procedure for
command AC180 Air conditioning
compressor relay (see 13B Diesel

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.
