Note:
When performing RENAULT maintenance, check

be cold.
I - PREPARATION OPERATION FOR THE

MEASUREMENT DEVICE
a Check that the measurement device functions pro-
perly (see the device's instruction manual).
a Set units to ˚C.
119358
a Set the device's sensitivity to 0.1˚C.
a Check the two sensors T1 and T2 in order to calcu-
late the correction (∆) to be applied to the measure-
ment (T1 - T2). the two sensors must indicate the
same measurement under the same conditions.
Check the sensors by:
- bringing the ends of the 2 sensors together until

they touch,
- placing the sensors in the air flow of an air vent,
- setting the passenger compartment fan assembly

to top speed.
- waiting for the value to become stable.
- recording the correction value (∆).
Note:
It is not necessary to start the vehicle. The
device display is in mode (∆T) = (T1 - T2).
119360
a Set the reading mode to (∆T) = (T1 - T2)
WARNING
Note the difference and sign as soon as the tem-
perature becomes stable.
Calculate the correction (∆) = - (T1 - T2) to be
applied to the measurement (∆T).
Examples:
If (T1 - T2) = - 0.3˚C, correct the measurement
(∆T) by (∆) = + 0.3˚C
If (T1 - T2) = + 0.3˚C, correct the measurement
