1. SCOPE OF THIS DOCUMENT

This document presents the fault finding procedure applicable to all computers with the following specifications:
Vehicle: Mgane II
Function concerned: Air conditioning
2. PREREQUISITES FOR FAULT FINDING

Documentation type:
Fault Finding Procedures (this document and the technical notes for the injection fitted to the vehicle,
the Passenger Compartment Central Unit (UCH) and the Protection and Switching Unit):
Assisted fault finding (integrated into the diagnostic tool), Dialogys.
Wiring Diagrams:
Visu-Schma (CD-ROM), paper version.
Diagnostic tools type:
CLIP
Type of special tooling required:
SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED
Multimeter
El. 1681
Universal bornier
3. RECAP
Faults:
There are faults which are displayed and stored present faults (which occurred in certain circumstances and which
still exist) and stored faults (which occurred in certain circumstances and have since disappeared or which are still
present but not detected in the present context).
The present or stored status of faults must be considered when using the diagnostic tool after switching on + after
ignition (without activating any system components).
Present faults must be dealt with according to the procedure specified in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and follow the instructions shown in the Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the instructions in the Notes section are applied, the fault is present. In this case, deal
with the fault.
If the fault is not confirmed, carry out basic checks. Check:
The electric lines on which there is a fault;
The connectors on these lines (corrosion, bent pins, etc.);
The resistance of the faulty component;
The condition of the wires (insulation melted or cut, chafing, etc.).

Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check statuses and parameters that do not produce a fault display on the
diagnostic tool when they are inconsistent. Therefore, this phase 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 features 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.
Notes about the conformity check for the climate control system:
The air conditioning system conformity check is divided into four parts. The parts relate to the four air conditioning
sub-functions, heater, cold loop, user selection and passenger compartment ventilation.
The statuses and parameters related to these sub-functions are listed with their respective computers.
N.B.: the manual air conditioning control panel does not control electrical components and cannot be subjected to
fault finding. Therefore, there is no conformity check in the 62C Manual air conditioning section.
Note:
The interpretation of statuses, parameters and commands is also split into several sections. Everything controlled by
the air conditioning control panel is explained in the two Air conditioning sections, 62A and 62B. On the other hand,
signals from other computers are explained in the Fault finding sections for these computers (see the conformity
check).
Customer complaints - Fault finding chart

If the diagnostic tool check is correct, but the customer complaint persists, the fault should be dealt with according to
the customer complaint.
A summary of the general procedure to follow is provided on the

following page in the form of a flowchart.

5. FAULT FINDING LOG
IMPORTANT!
IMPORTANT:
For any reimbursement for a monitored part (computer type) or call to Techline, you will be asked
for a correctly completed fault finding log. This makes it possible to keep track of your fault finding.
IT IS THEREFORE COMPULSORY TO COMPLETE A FAULT FINDING LOG

EVERY TIME A FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED.
All faults requiring replacement of a computer must have a thorough fault finding procedure performed on them,
using the appropriate tools. The fault finding log, which must be filled in during fault finding, makes dialogue with
the manufacturer more constructive by providing:
faster and more relevant Techline assistance;
better analysis of the approval request and more likelihood that the replacement of parts will be accepted;
clearer statement of your observations for the warranty reimbursement form.
6. SAFETY ADVICE
All work on components requires the observation of safety rules to prevent damage or injury:
Make sure the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low load.
Do not smoke.
Use the appropriate tools.

Fault finding - Function layout

Air conditioning system layout

The air conditioning system uses four computers. The four computers are connected by the multiplex system, except
in the case of manual air conditioning, where the connection between the air conditioning control panel and the
passenger compartment central unit (UCH) is by normal wiring.
The air conditioning control panel interprets the driver's wishes and transmits them to the other computers; it also
manages the passenger compartment ventilation, air distribution, air mixing and air recirculation.
The Passenger Compartment Control Unit (UCH) transmits the request to engage the air conditioning compressor to
the injection and controls the operation of the passenger compartment heating resistors (RCH).
The injection receives the refrigerant fluid pressure signal from the pressure sensor. The injection computer
authorises or inhibits the request to engage the compressor depending on how the vehicle is operating and transmits
the signal to the Protection and Switching Unit (UPC).
The role of the UPC is to manage the power section of the air conditioning system. It controls the engagement of the
compressor, the engine cooling fan assemblies and the heated rear screen.

Fault finding - Mode of operation
62A
General operation
The air conditioning system is composed of four sub-functions: heating, cold loop, passenger compartment
ventilation and user selection. Fault finding on the air conditioning is performed in two different ways using the
diagnostic tool.
The first procedure is by computer fault finding which makes it possible to communicate with just one computer
(select the computer concerned). The second procedure consists of performing fault finding on each function
which allows communication with all four computers of the AIR CONDITIONING function.
Description of the sub-functions

Heater sub-function: this sub-function includes everything relating to the production of warm air in the vehicle and
management of the heated rear screen.
The main computers involved are the air conditioning computer (air mixing and blown air setting) and the UCH
(control and management of the passenger compartment heating resistors). The Protection and Switching Unit
controls the heated rear screen (and heated door mirror). The injection computer is only included in this sub-function
to supply the signals required for its management.
Cold loop sub-function: this sub-function includes everything involved in the vehicle's production of cold air.
The computers concerned are the air conditioning computer for air mixing, the injection computer to authorise
compressor engagement and the UPC to control the compressor and the engine fan assemblies. With climate
control systems, the UCH merely transmits the request to engage the compressor from the air conditioning computer
to the injection computer.
With manual air conditioning, the UCH authorises or inhibits sending the request to engage the compressor from the
air conditioning computer to the injection computer depending on the status of the passenger compartment blower
(with manual air conditioning, the UCH receives and manages the passenger compartment blower speed signal:
compressor engagement is inhibited if the blower is not running).
User selection sub-function: this sub-function includes everything used to transmit the user's requests (pressing
buttons). The computers concerned are the air conditioning computer for climate control systems and the UCH.
The two other computers are not used for manual air conditioning.
Passenger compartment ventilation sub-function (climate control systems only): this sub-function includes
everything involved in ventilation, air mixing, air recirculation and air distribution. Therefore, only the air conditioning
computer is involved.

Faults:
Faults may be declared either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but are not diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults must be considered when using the diagnostic tool after switching on + after
ignition (without activating any system components).
Deal with present faults according to the procedure specified in the section on Interpretation of faults.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and follow the instructions shown in the Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the notes are applied, the fault is present. In this case, deal with the fault.
If the fault is not confirmed, carry out some basic checks. Check:
The electrical lines which correspond to the fault,
The connectors on these lines (corrosion, bent pins, etc.),
The resistance of the faulty component,
The condition of the wiring (insulation melted or cut, chafing, etc.).
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check statuses and parameters that do not produce a fault display on the
diagnostic tool when they are 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.
Notes about the conformity check for the air conditioning system:
All variables (statuses and parameters) and commands required for the air conditioning function are divided into four
sub-functions:
the COLD LOOP sub-function, which groups together all the information required for producing cold air,
the USER SELECTION sub-function, which groups together all the information relating to the user's requests
(buttons pressed, warning lights, etc.),
the HEATING sub-function, which groups together all the information required for producing warm air,
the PASSENGER COMPARTMENT VENTILATION sub-function, which groups together all the information
relating to ventilation and air distribution within the passenger compartment.

conformity check for this section.
2/ All information relating to the air conditioning function (information provided by several computers) is given in
the conformity check of Section 62A Air conditioning.
Note:
The interpretation of statuses, parameters and commands is also split into several sections. Everything which is
controlled by the control panel of the climate control function is dealt with in this section. However, signals from other
computers are interpreted in the fault finding sections of the computers which produce these signals.

If the diagnostic tool check is correct, but the customer complaint persists, it should be dealt with according to the

IMPORTANT!
IMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system requires thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools. The
FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the fault finding procedure, ensures a
record is kept of the procedure carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the
manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE COMPULSORY TO COMPLETE A FAULT FINDING LOG

EVERY TIME A FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED.
You will always be asked for this log:

when requesting technical assistance from Techline,
for approval requests before replacing parts for which approval is compulsory,
to be enclosed when returning monitored parts on request. The log is needed for warranty compensation, and
enables better analysis of the removed parts.
6. SAFETY ADVICE
The safety instructions must be followed at all times when working on components, to avoid damaging the
equipment and injury to the operators:
Make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low load.
Do not smoke.
Use the appropriate tools.

CLIMATE CONTROL
Fault finding - System operation
62B
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The climate control system fitted on the MEGANE is controlled by four computers. This system is called a
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 dialogue to be established with all four computers of the
AIR CONDITIONING function. These two fault finding procedures are described in the introduction of this repair
manual.
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 two sensors, these being the interior temperature sensor and the solar
radiation sensor.
The two sensors 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
signal) sent to a power module (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.
Cold air production (cold loop) and warm air production (heating) are controlled by the other three computers
involved in the air conditioning function (UCH, Protection and Switching Unit and injection computer).
The main signals used by the climate control computer are:
+ 12 V side lights feed,
0 V rheostat controlled,
exterior temperature,
engine coolant temperature,
engine operating status,
engine speed,
electrical power consumed,
request to set the blown air temperature.
SPECIAL NOTES FOR OPERATION:
When the engine is switched off, the passenger compartment blower unit operates approximately 30% slower than
the requested speed (control panel setting).
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 come on, display of symbols on the control panel (distribution motor
position, passenger compartment blower speed, AC symbol, etc.).
If the exterior temperature sensor is faulty, the climate control computer is switched on 5 seconds after the
ignition is switched on (this allows a fault to be identified as fault finding cannot be performed on the exterior

Fault finding - Configurations and programming
62B
CLIMATE CONTROL COMPUTER CONFIGURATION:

The climate control computer has 2 configuration functions. These configurations need to be set after the computer
has been replaced.
These two configurations are important as they ensure air conditioning is optimised within the vehicle (better control
compared to automatic air conditioning). If they are not correctly entered, cold air and warm air production will be
severely affected (e.g. heating resistors will not be switched on to heat the passenger compartment air).
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 be read, also using the diagnostic tool in repair mode to ensure they have been correctly
set. Configurations can be read in both fault finding by computer mode and fault finding by function mode.
The first configuration is CF044 Vehicle type; this configuration allows you to enter the body type to which the
climate control computer is fitted (J84/R84 for 4-wheel drive Mgane Scnic and Scnic, and OTHER X84 for all
other Mganes). The configuration is read on: LC013 Vehicle type.
The second configuration is CF117 Type of heating resistors; this configuration is used to enter the type of
passenger compartment air heating resistors fitted in the vehicle. There are three options: WITHOUT for vehicles
without 1000 W and 1800 W resistors.
Heating resistors are mainly fitted on vehicles with Diesel engines.
They are located in the ventilation - air distribution unit (left-hand side), next to the heater matrix. The label affixed
to the resistor unit (with the part number) specifies whether the resistors are 1000 or 1800 W (Note: 1800 W
resistors are mainly fitted to Mgane Scnic). The configuration is read on: LC043 Heating resistor.
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 configurations of the air conditioning function (from the injection computer,
the UCH and the Protection and Switching Unit computer) are listed in Section 62A Air conditioning.
MIXING AND DISTRIBUTION MOTOR PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE (self-setting):
There is no specific programming operation for the mixing motor and the distribution motor.
However, the minimum and maximum limits of these motors have to be programmed. This operation is automatic and
is performed in the following cases:
after replacing the mixing or distribution motor,
after disconnecting the battery or after disconnecting the climate control computer supply fuse,
if a fault, declared as present when the ignition was switched off, disappears the next time the ignition is switched
on.
IMPORTANT
To ensure this programming operation is performed correctly, the passenger compartment blower must be
switched off (speed set to 0).

Only carry out this conformity check after a full check with the diagnostic tool (fault
reading and configuration checks).
Application conditions: engine off, ignition on (forced 12 V After ignition).
Air conditioning off (air conditioning compressor not triggered).
Special note:
The various conformity checks for the air conditioning function are explained in the
Introduction section.
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 important for sensors on
which fault finding cannot be performed, e.g. exterior temperature sensor).

MEASURING THE CONTROL VOLTAGE OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BLOWER

POWER MODULE
There are two ways to measure the control voltage of the passenger compartment blower power module:
1/ MEASURING USING A MULTIMETER (in the voltmeter position, direct voltage measurement):
With the power module connector connected, measure across track 6 of the module and the earth.
At speed 0 the voltage measured is equal to the battery voltage ( 1 V) and at speed 8 the voltage is 5 V ( 0.5 V).
The voltage varies between 0 and 14 V for the seven intermediate speeds.
Examples of measurements taken with the voltmeter with the engine at idle speed (values given as a guide):

100%
2/ MEASURING USING AN OSCILLOSCOPE (Optima 5800, CLIP technique):

The blower power module is controlled by pulse width modulated control voltage (PWM).
This control voltage is always 12 V; it is the control signal (square signal) that varies:
the amplitude and frequency do not vary but instead the high status (12 V) varies in relation to the low status (5 V).
To take the measurement, connect the earth lead of the oscilloscope to the battery earth and the measuring lead of
the oscilloscope to track 6 (6-track connector) of the power module (module connector connected).
Adjust the time base on the oscilloscope to 500 s per division with a calibration of 5 V per division.
The signals obtained should be: a straight line at 14 V ( 1 V) for speed 0, and a straight line at 5 V ( 0.5 V) for
speed 8.

The engine cooling fan unit is not used for vehicle speeds over 42 mph (70 km/h), except in rare cases where the
refrigerant fluid pressure is above 23 bar in spite of the speed (e.g.: driving behind a lorry).
When stationary, the engine cooling fan is used systematically at low speed if the refrigerant fluid relative pressure is
below 19 bar, at high speed in the opposite case.
While driving, the engine cooling fan may either not operate, or operate at low or high speed depending on the
refrigerant fluid pressure at the condenser outlet and the vehicle speed.

This document describes the fault finding procedures applicable to all manual heating and ventilation systems with
the following specifications:
Vehicle(s): MEGANE
Function affected: heating and ventilation system

Standard documentation:
Fault finding procedures (this manual):
Paper (Workshop Repair Manual or Technical Note), Dialogys.
Wiring Diagrams:
Visu-Diagram (CD-ROM), paper.
Special tooling required:

Multimeter and oscilloscope
3. REMINDERS
This heating and ventilation system does not have a computer and therefore cannot have fault finding with the
diagnostic tool. The heating and ventilation function is divided among the UCH, Protection and Switching Unit, and
the injection.
This note only covers diagnostics based on customer complaints. See Section 62A and the fault finding of
computers associated with heating and ventilation to complete manual heating and ventilation system fault finding.

If the diagnostic tool check is correct, but the customer complaint persists, it should be dealt with according to the
customer complaint.
A synopsis of the general procedure to follow is provided on the following page in

the form of a logic flow chart.

WARNING:
WARNING: A full fault finding procedure must be carried out for all faults on a complex system
using suitable tools. The FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the fault
finding procedure, ensures a record is kept of the procedure carried out. It is an essential item
when discussing the fault with the constructor.
IT IS THEREFORE MANDATORY TO FILL OUT A FAULT FINDING SHEET EACH TIME FAULT FINDING
IS DONE.
You will always be asked for this report:

When requesting technical assistance from the Techline.
For certification requests when replacing parts that must be certified.
Which must be attached to monitored parts for which reimbursement is requested. It is therefore used to decide
whether a reimbursement will be made under warranty and leads to improved analysis of the removed parts.
6. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
All work on components requires obeying safety rules to prevent physical damage or human injury:
Make sure the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low charge.
Do not smoke.
Use the proper tools.

Fault finding - System functioning and track allocation
62C
System operation
The manual heating and ventilation system does not have a computer. It consists solely of a control panel from which
the compressor (controlled by the Protection and Switching Unit and injection), the passenger compartment heating
resistors (controlled by the UCH with permission from the Protection and Switching Unit and injection) and rear deicer (managed by the Protection and Switching Unit) are started as explained in the synopsis of heating and
ventilation system operation in Section 62A.
The panel, by means of cables, also controls the air distribution flaps, air distribution and recycling, as well as fan
assembly speed through a connecting wire and resistor unit.
