With the engine warm and passenger compartment
ventilation operating, vary the position of the mixing
flap from the maximum hot position to the maximum
cold position and check subjectively that there is a
difference in temperature.
Is a difference in temperature noted?
YES
E
NOCarry out a conformity check on the mixing
motor (PR012 Mixing flap position). If the
conformity check does not reveal any faults,
look for a mechanical fault on the mixing flap
(condition of the motor ’s notched sector, flap
jammed inside the unit, etc.).
Is the fault still present?
YES NO
End of fault finding
procedure.
Check the cold loop by checking the condition of the pipes and ensuring that the air conditioning system
does not have any refrigerant leaks (see Technical Note 6001A, Air conditioning, 62A, Air conditioning,
Air conditioning: Check). Repair the faulty pipes or components.
Top up the refrigerant (see MR 411 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Refrigerant circuit:

ALP 9 Too much cold air
NOTESOnly deal with this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool
(fault reading 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.
With the engine running at idle speed and air conditioning switched off (AC button not pressed and no AUTO
mode), check that the air conditioning compressor clutch is not engaged.
Is the air conditioning compressor
clutch engaged?NO
YES
With the engine stopped, check that the compressor clutch electric control operates correctly, using the
diagnostic tool to run command AC180 Air conditioning compressor relay (injection command mode menu).
–During the command, connection 38R of component 171 must be supplied with + 12 V.
–After the command, connection 38R of component 171 must no longer be supplied with + 12 V.
Is the connection still supplied with + 12 V after the command?
YES NO
Check the continuity and insulation from + 12 V of
connection 38R between components 171 and 584.Check that the air conditioning compressor clutch is
not jammed (mechanical fault).
Is the connection OK? Is the clutch still engaged?
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
38R and connection AP3 of
component 584.
Is the continuity present?
NO
Apply the fault finding procedure for
command AC180 Air conditioning
compressor relay (see 13B Diesel
injection or 17B Petrol injection).
Is the fault still present?
Replace the air conditioning
compressor (see MR 411,

flap from the maximum cold position to the
maximum hot position and check subjectively that
there is a difference in temperature.
Is a difference in temperature noted?
YES
Using the diagnostic tool statuses and parameters
screen (cold loop sub-function), check that the
temperature signals are consistent (no sensor
deviation resulting in incorrect measurement).
–Using parameters PR002 Exterior temperature,
PR064 Coolant temperature and PR001
Interior temperature.
Are the temperature signals consistent?
YES
Check the refrigerant fluid (see Technical Note
6001A, Air conditioning, 62A, Air conditioning,
Air conditioning: Check).
NOCarry out a conformity check on the
mixing motor (PR012 Mixing flap
position). If the conformity check does
not reveal any faults, look for a
mechanical fault on the mixing flap
(condition of the motor ’s notched sector,
flap jammed inside the unit, etc.).
NOCarry out a conformity check:
–For the coolant temperature sensor, see
13B, Diesel injection, Fault summary
table or 17B Petrol injection, Fault
summary table.
–For the exterior temperature sensor,
see 87B, Passenger compartment
connection unit, Fault summary
table.

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.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a complete check with the diagnostic tool.

MYH of component 200 and, using the diagnostic
tool, run command AC060 Rear screen de-icer
(UCH command mode menu).
Does the test light illuminate?
YES
Connect a test light between connection 15LP and
the chassis earth and use the diagnostic tool to
run command AC060 Rear screen de-icer
(UCH command mode menu).
Does the test light illuminate?
NO
Check the continuity of connection 15LP between
components 200 and 645.
Is the continuity correct?
YES

fault finding on the climate control
computer (see Interpretation of

de-icer lines. The line resistance must not
be zero or infinite. If the resistance is not
correct, replace the rear screen (see MR
412, Bodywork, 54A, Windows, Rear
screen window: Removal - Refitting).

ALP 13 Lighting fault on the control panel in night mode
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check of the multiplex
network and the air conditioning with the diagnostic tool.
Special notes:
With the ignition on, the control panel screen is permanently on but the panel buttons
only light up when the side lights are switched on.
Note:
If the exterior temperature sensor is faulty, the climate control computer is
activated 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on (the UCH performs fault
finding on the exterior temperature sensor).
Use the Wiring Diagram Technical Note for the New Twingo.
Is the fault shared with other components (first row cigarette lighter, radio, multifunction display, cruise control/
speed limiter on off switch, etc.)
YES NO
Switch on the ignition and the side lights.
Using the diagnostic tool and the conformity
check, check that the lighting dimmer is operating
correctly using parameter PR122 NIGHT TIME
LIGHTING LEVEL.
Does the parameter vary?
YES
Check the connection and condition of the
connector of component 419.
If there is a repair method (see Technical Note
6015A, Electrical wiring repair, Wiring: Repair
precautions), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.

ALP 14 Noisy compressor
NOTESOnly deal with this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool
(fault reading and configuration checks).
WARNING
Check that the computers active in the AIR CONDITIONING function (Injection, UCH
and climate control) are correctly configured.
Note:
Before starting any work, check that the noise is indeed coming from the compressor.
Check that the compressor belt is in good condition and check its tension (for engines without automatic
tensioning) (see MR 411, Mechanical, 11A, Top and front of engine, Accessories belt: Removal - Refitting).
Check that the compressor is correctly fixed (see MR 411 Heating and air conditioning system, 62A,
Air conditioning, Compressor: Removal - Refitting).
Check the refrigerant fluid and look for any leaks. Significant loss of fluid causes the compressor to make noises.
(see Technical Note 6001A, Air conditioning, 62A, Air conditioning, Air conditioning: Check).
If the fault is still present, replace the air conditioning compressor (see MR 411, Mechanical, 62A,
Air conditioning, Compressor: Removal - Refitting).
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
