MIXER MOTOR: MAXIMUM COLD
MIXER MOTOR: MAXIMUM HOT
NOTESNOTES:
The flap is located in the air conditioning mechanism.
In order to confirm this command, the engine must be warm in order to be able to
check for the presence of a warm air flow during command AC005.
This command is used to activate the mixing flap to check that it is working. Switch on the ignition, and issue a
passenger compartment ventilation request (via the driver's control panel).
Run command AC004 and check that the air coming out of the air vents is cold (ambient temperature).
Run command AC005 and check that the air coming out of the air vents is warm.
If the command does not operate as indicated, consult the customer complaints:
–Production of cold air, see: ALP 8 No cold air and ALP 9 Too much cold air.
–Production of warm air, see: ALP 6 No heating or loss of heating.
AFTER REPAIRCheck that the air conditioning function operates correctly.

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?
