AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CHECK

1 - PRELIMINARY VISUAL CHECK(S)

stage condition / action in progress result
1 switch on the ignition
move the blower control to maximum speed
(see stage 2)
2 is there blown air at the vents? otherwise, check :
(a) the condition of the pollen filter
(b) the blower function
(c) the mixer flap function
-
if correct : see stage 3
3 is the belt tension correct? otherwise : check the tension of the belt and replace it if necessary
-
if correct : see stage 4
4 are the condenser and radiator harnesses clean? otherwise : correctly clean the harnesses
-
if correct : use the diagnostic equipment and carry out a check of the air conditioning system
5 end of procedure -

IMPERATIVE : the outside temperature must be above 15 °C .

2 - PRESENTATION OF THE EQUIPMENT

2 - 1 - PRESENTATION OF THE MAIN TOOLS

[1] DIAL 2000 .

[2] Module GM 2000 :

(A) Display A .

(B) Display B .

(C) Display C .

(D) Functions .

2 - 2 - SETTING UP THE TOOLS

Connect the module GM 2000 [2f] and if necessary the printer on the DIAL 2000 [1] .

Connect the pressure sensor CLIM 400 (3), the thermocouple TK 120, and the temperature and hygrometry sensor TH 400 .

Connect the union [2a] of the module GM 2000 on terminals (+) and (-) of the battery .

Join the connection pipes (4) of the pressure sensor CLIM 400 (3) to the high/low pressure valves (5) of the vehicle .

Position the thermocouple TK 120 (6) on the high pressure pipe (7) coming from the condenser .

Retain the thermocouple on the pipe, preferably using aluminium adhesive tape (the quality of this last operation is very important) .

Place thermal insulation (sheath) around the thermocouple .

Connect the GM 2000 using a by-pass circuit to the supply (8) of the compressor .

Connect the GM 2000 as a by-pass on the pressostat (9) inserting the special harness 607 [3] .

Connect the GM 2000 [2d] as a by-pass on the fan assembly supply maxifuse (10) .

3 - AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FUNCTION DIAGNOSTICS

3 - 1 - CHECK (A)

stage condition / action in progress result
1 with the engine stopped
select the menu :
air conditioning, then press the asterisk button to validate
select : 607,press the Star button to confirm
(see stage 2)
2 confirm the temperature and the percentage of outside humidity measurement
is the temperature higher than 15 degrees C?
otherwise, test impossible - return to the menu
-
if correct : see stage 3
3 low pressure 2.5 bar(s) or above / high pressure 2.5 bar(s) or above otherwise, fault(s) D1 :
- refrigerant charge insufficient
- recharge the circuit and carry out the test again
(see : processing faults)
-
if correct : check (B)

3 - 2 - CHECK (B)

stage condition / action in progress result
1 start the engine
stabilise the engine speed at 2000 rpm
start the compressor (AC)
distribution flap on centre vents
temperature control on maximum cold
blower in maximum position
doors closed
front windows open
passenger compartment air inlet flap in the Recirculation position
press the Star button to confirm
(see stage 2)
2 keep the sensor TH 400 as close as possible to the centre vent
wait for the blown air temperature to be in the range indicated on the display (C) (a change to this temperature can be seen in the display (A))
( see stage 3)
3 regulation phase(s) :
maintain engine speed at 2000 rpm
pressure shown in the display (A) and the temperature of the fluid in the display (B)
( see stage 4)
4 check (C) end of procedure

3 - 3 - CHECK (C)

stage condition / action in progress result
1 place the passenger compartment air inlet flap in the outside air position
press the Star button to confirm
(see stage 2)
2 stabilise the engine speed at 2000 rpm
keep the sensor TH 400 as close as possible to the centre vent
wait for the blown air temperature to be in the range indicated on the display (C) (a change to this temperature can be seen in the display (A))
( see stage 3)
3 regulation phase(s) :
maintain engine speed at 2000 rpm
pressure shown in the display (A) and the temperature of the fluid in the display (B)
( see stage 4)
4 end of test
display of fault codes in the display (C) and printing of the results on the printer
to exit, press the hash symbol
(see stage 5)
5 stop the engine
switch off the ignition
disconnect all the equipment and rectify the maxi-fuse (1)
(according to vehicle, see : setting up the tools)
end of procedure

4 - PROCESSING FAULTS

fault codes causes remedies
D1 refrigerant charge insufficient re-charge the circuit (in accordance with recommendations)
D2 no pressostat supply for the compressor circuit check : pressostat electrical circuit
D3 compressor circuit pressostat output fault replace the pressure switch
D4 no compressor feed pressostat correct : check of the compressor control (+) and (-) circuit, the ECU and the evaporator sensor
D5 no compressor rotation check : the belt, compressor clutch, compressor
D6 no engine fan assembly rotation : 1st check the fan assembly circuit
D7 excess charge R134A re-charge the circuit (in accordance with recommendations)
D8 abnormal charge or non-condensable matter present re-charge the circuit (in accordance with recommendations)
D9 no fan assembly circuit pressostat supply check : pressostat electrical circuit
D10 fan assembly circuit pressostat output fault replace the pressure switch
D11 no engine fan assembly rotation : 2nd speed pressostat correct : check the fan assembly circuit
D12 pressure relief valve replace the pressure relief valve, if the fault persists : replace the compressor
D13 compressor replace the compressor
D14 pollen filter clogged replace the pollen filter
D15 blown air temperature inconsistent check : passenger compartment sensor, evaporator sensor, control unit, mixer flap
D16 no engine fan assembly rotation : 3rd speed pressostat correct : check the fan assembly circuit
