–Condenser:
The condenser is composed of flat horizontal aluminium tubes. The pipes are divided by the vanes in order to increase
the air heat exchange and therefore cool the refrigerant fluid to produce condensation.
Condenser + Dehydrator reservoir
1Condenser
2Dehydration canister
–Dehydrator reservoir: (see figure above)
The dehydrator reservoir is used to:
●Check the condition of the refrigerant.
●Absorb the variations in volume (expansion bottle principle).
●Filter impurities.
●Absorb moisture (water in the circuit).
–Heating and air conditioning unit: (see figure above)
This unit acts as an air mixing box. It is equipped with a system of flaps which allow the air to be directed in accordance
with the requirements of the occupants whilst simultaneously allowing the temperature of the air entering the
passenger compartment to be modified by mixing hot and cold air.
–Thermostatic expansion valve: (see figure below)
This thermostatic-type expansion valve is used to check refrigerant expansion. It is located at the evaporator inlet.
–Evaporator: (see figure below)
●The evaporator is a heat exchanger which enables the air entering the passenger compartment to be cooled.
Note: Condensation of the air may occur thereby causing normal drops of water to form under the body.

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).
Does the engine cooling fan operate at low speed?
YES
NO
Using the diagnostic tool, run command
AC154 Low speed fan assembly relay.
Does the engine cooling fan operate at
low speed?
NO YES
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?
YES NO
Carry out fault finding
on the injection
system (sub-function:
cold loop and engine
cooling for low speed
fan assembly
activation).
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
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
