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 stored faults, note the faults displayed and follow the instructions 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 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.
Special notes on the conformity check for the air conditioning function:
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 groups together all the information relating to
ventilation and the mixing and distribution of air 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 control panel of the climate control
(distribution motor, mixing motor, recirculation motor, passenger compartment ventilation, etc.) is given in the
conformity check of 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.

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 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
temperature sensor by the UCH).

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 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 also be read using the diagnostic tool in repair mode to ensure they have been correctly
set. These 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 on which the air
conditioning computer is fitted (J84 / R84 for Mégane Scénic and 4-wheel drive Scénic, and OTHER X84 for all
other Méganes). The configuration is called 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 on 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 Scenic). The configuration reading is: 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 of the air conditioning function configurations (injection computer, UCH
computer and 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.
WARNING
To ensure this programming operation is performed correctly, the passenger compartment fan must be
switched off (speed set to 0).

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), 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

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

MIXING FLAP POSITION
PR012
NOTES None.
The mixing flap moves as a function of the temperature requested or automatically if the air conditioning is in

The mixing motor does not have a position feedback potentiometer. This parameter is therefore an indication
of the flap position as a function of how the motor is being controlled by the climate control computer.
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%.

BLOWN AIR TEMPERATURE SETTING
PR121
NOTES None.
This parameter is used to control the temperature inside the passenger compartment. This setting is calculated
by the climate control computer according to interior temperature, exterior temperature and coolant
temperature.
This setting is used to control the mixing 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:
– Engine running,
– Air conditioning blower 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 Number of RCH authorised by the injection system < at 1),
– Alternator authorisation (ET018 Number of RCH authorised by alternator < at 1).
Note:
– Statuses ET017, ET018 and ET019 are brought up by the UCH (see conformity check for the air conditioning
function: Section 62A).
– The values given below are average values. The UCH calculates the number of passenger compartment

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):

blower PWM
setting*
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 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.
Examples of measurements taken using the oscilloscope with the engine at idle speed (given as a guide):
