3. REMINDERS
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" state 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".
With stored faults, note the displayed faults and follow the directions in the "Instructions" 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 wiring (insulation melted or cut, chafing, etc.).

62A-1 Edition 2
AIR CONDITIONING
and
Checking correct operation
The conformity check is designed to check the states and parameters which do not display any faults on the
diagnostic tool when inconsistent. This phase therefore allows:
– diagnosis of faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer complaint.
– checks that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault reappearing after repairs.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for states and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a state is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside permitted tolerance values, you should 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
subsystems, heater, cold loop, user selection and passenger compartment ventilation.
The states and parameters related to these subsystems 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 states, 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 charts
If the diagnostic tool check is correct, but the customer complaint persists, the problem 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.

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 sheet, 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 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.

AIR CONDITIONING
and
Climate control Fault finding - System design 62A
Air conditioning system design
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 elements (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 (PSU).
The role of the PSU is to manage the power section of the air conditioning system. It controls the engagement of the
compressor, the engine cooling fan units and the heated rear screen.

AIR CONDITIONING
and
Climate control Fault finding - Mode of operation 62A
General operation
The air conditioning system is composed of four subsystems: heater, cold loop, passenger compartment ventilation
and user selection. Fault finding on the climate control is performed in two different ways using the diagnostic tool.
The first method is by computer fault finding which makes it possible to communicate with just one computer
(select the computer concerned). The second method consists of performing fault finding on each function which
allows communications to be established with all four computers of the AIR CONDITIONING function.
Description of the subsystems
Heater subsystem: this subsystem 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 elements). The Switching and Protection Unit
controls the heated rear screen (and door mirror de-icing). The injection computer is only included in this subsystem
to supply the signals required for its management.
Cold loop subsystem: this subsystem 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 PSU to control the compressor and the engine fan units. 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 state of the passenger compartment fan (with
manual air conditioning, the UCH receives and manages the passenger compartment fan speed signal: compressor
engagement is inhibited if the fan is not running).
User selection subsystem: this subsystem 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 subsystem (climate control systems only): this subsystem includes
everything involved in ventilation, air mixing, air recirculation and air distribution. Therefore, only the air conditioning
computer is involved.

3. REMINDERS
Fault finding procedure:
To perform fault finding on the vehicle computers, switch on the ignition in fault finding mode (+ after ignition
imposed), i.e. proceed as follows:
– Renault card on the card holder (keyless vehicle scenario 1, basic, not hands-free and scenario 2, top of the range,
hands-free),
– Press and hold start button (longer than 5 seconds) with start-up conditions not fulfilled,
– Then connect the diagnostic tool and perform the required operations.
Important: The left and right-hand Xenon bulb computers are supplied when the dipped headlights are lit. Fault
finding procedures can only be carried out on them after the ignition has been switched on in fault finding mode
(+ after ignition imposed) and the dipped headlights are on.
+ After ignition feed cut-out is performed as follows:
– Disconnect the diagnostic tool,

– Press the start button twice briefly (less then 3 seconds),
– Ensure that the + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer warning lights on the instrument
panel have gone out.

Vdiag No.: 44
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" state 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 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 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.).
Checking correct operation
The conformity check is designed to check the states and parameters which do not display any faults on the
diagnostic tool when inconsistent. This phase therefore allows:
– diagnosis of faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer complaint,
– checks that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault reappearing after repairs.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for states and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a state is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside permitted tolerance values, you should consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Notes about the conformity check for the climate control system:
All variables (states 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.

The conformity check for the air conditioning function is split into two parts:
1/ All information relating to the sensors and actuators controlled by the air conditioning control panel (distribution
motor, mixer motor, recirculation motor, passenger compartment ventilation, etc.) is given in the 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 states, 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.
Customer complaints – Fault finding charts
If the diagnostic tool check is correct, but the customer complaint persists, it should be dealt with according to the

CLIMATE CONTROL
Vdiag No.: 44
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 climate control is performed in two different ways using the
diagnostic tool. The first method consists of performing fault finding on each computer which allows
communications to be established with just one computer (select the air conditioning computer). The second method
consists of performing fault finding on each function which allows communications to be established with all four
computers of the AIR CONDITIONING function. These two fault finding methods 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 mixer
motor and the recirculation motor.
The climate control computer also controls two sensors, these being the interior temperature sensor and the
insolation 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,
– 0 V rheostat controlled,
– exterior temperature,
– coolant temperature,
– engine operating state,
– engine speed,
– electrical power consumed,
– request to set the blown air temperature.
OPERATING NOTES:
– When the engine is switched off, the passenger compartment fan operates approximately 30% slower than the
requested speed (control panel setting).
– If any of the actuators are faulty, the climate control can no longer control them, but the setting requests are still
displayed on the control panel: warning lights light up, display of symbols on the control panel (distribution motor
position, passenger compartment fan 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
temperature sensor by the UCH).

Fault finding - Configuration and programming 62B
CLIMATE CONTROL COMPUTER CONFIGURATION:
The climate control computer has 2 configuration functions. These configurations need to be set after replacing the
computer.
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 drive wheel Mégane Scénic and Scénic RX4, and OTHER X84 for
all other Méganes). 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 (LH 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 Mégane Sconces). 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 climate control function. All configurations of the climate control function (from the injection computer,
the UCH and the Protection and Switching computer) are listed in Section 62A Air conditioning.
MIXING AND DISTRIBUTION MOTOR PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE (self-setting):
There is no specific programming operation for the mixer 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 fan must be
switched off (speed set to 0).

check the presence of a 12 V supply on track 2 of the mixer motor connector. If the supply is not present and
if no faulty connections are detected during the continuity checks, contact your Techline.
With the connector disconnected, check the resistance value of the mixer motor by measuring between:
track 2 and track 1 of the mixer motor connector,
track 2 and track 6 of the mixer motor connector.
For the four checks, a value of 100 Ω ± 5 Ω at 20°°C should be obtained. Replace the mixer motor if this is not
the case.
If the fault is still present with the mixer motor dismantled and connected, carry out a motor command using
the temperature buttons on the control panel: switch the temperature setting to very hot position "27˚" (value
100%) then switch the temperature setting to very cold position "15˚" (value 0%). The motor should switch from
one direction to the other.
If the connections checked previously are correct but the motor does not switch during the commands: replace
the mixer motor.
If the commands have been performed correctly, check that the mixer motor flap is not jammed by trying to
move the mechanism.
If the fault is still present, replace the mixer motor.

INTERIOR TEMPERATURE
PR001
NOTES None.
The climate control computer receives the interior temperature signal through a wire connection.
To ensure this parameter is correct (without using a thermometer), simply read the temperature information
when the vehicle is cold (in the morning). The interior temperature, the exterior temperature and the engine
coolant temperature should be practically the same.
Another way of checking whether this sensor is correct is to check the resistance value of the sensor as a
function of temperature: refer to the electrical specifications of the sensor in the Help section.
If the temperature displayed by this parameter seems to be incorrect, apply the fault finding procedure for fault:
DF007 "Interior temperature sensor circuit".

INSOLATION
PR006
NOTES None.
The insolation sensor is used to improve the air conditioning level of the climate control according to the
windscreen insolation.
This sensor measures the insolation level and transmits the information to the climate control computer in the
form of a measurement in W/m2 . This measurement ranges from 0 to 400 W. The sensor is faulty if it gives a
value of 400 W although the vehicle is in the shade (in the workshop) as this value equals maximum insolation.
If the value displayed by this parameter seems to be incorrect: check the signal transmitted by the sensor as
a function of insolation, by measuring between track 2 of the sensor and earth (insolation sensor connected
electrically, ignition on and climate control panel on).

As specified in the conformity check, in the maximum cold position (15°°C), the parameter indicates 0% and in
the maximum hot position (27°°C), the parameter indicates 100%.
If the value displayed by this parameter seems to be incorrect or if the parameter is correct but the blown air

BLOWN AIR TEMPERATURE SETTING
PR121
NOTES None.
This parameter is used to control the temperature inside the passenger compartment. This setting is calculated

temperature.
This setting is used to control the mixer motor and the request to operate the passenger compartment air
heating resistors (to reach the temperature requested by the user as quickly as possible in order to optimise
passenger compartment comfort quickly).
The following conditions must be satisfied to allow the UCH to control the passenger compartment air heating
resistors:
– Internal combustion engine running,
– Passenger compartment fan running (minimum speed 1),
– User temperature setting above 20˚C (or automatic mode requested),
– Blown air temperature setting above 65˚C,
– Interior temperature below 10˚C,
– Exterior temperature below 5˚C,
– Engine coolant temperature below 65˚C,
– Injection authorisation (ET019 "RCH number authorised by injection system" < at 1),
– Alternator authorisation (ET018 "RCH number authorised by alternator" < at 1).
NOTE:
– States ET017, ET018 and ET019 are by the UCH (see conformity check of air conditioning function:
Section 62A).

MEASURING THE CONTROL VOLTAGE OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FAN
POWER MODULE
There are two ways to measure the control voltage of the passenger compartment fan 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 idling speed (for information only):

fan PWM

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

The fan power module is controlled by a power width modulation (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 state (12 V) varies in relation to the low state (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 µs 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.

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.
Customer complaints - Fault finding chart
If the diagnostic tool check is correct, but the customer complaint persists, it should be dealt with according to the
customer complaint.

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 de-icer (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.
