Climate control system circuit |
Switch on the climate control system (with engine on) for 10-15 minutes. Switch it off and wait for 45 minutes. Connect the climate control system repressurising station and check that the readings of the pressure values are compatible with the vehicle specifications (if there are no specifications, refer to the table below) |
Go to Step 2 |
The pressure values do not comply with the required specifications |
Empty the circuit, create vacuum and restore the correct coolant pressurisation |

Climate control system circuit |
Switch on the climate control system (with engine running at 1500 rpm) with the minimum fan speed and the lowest temperature. Connect the climate control system repressurising station to the climate control system circuit and check that the readings of the temperature and pressure values are correct. |

Climate control system |
Check whether the climate control system operation is correct or intermittent, with following formation of ice on the circuit |
End of diagnosis |
Intermittent operation of the climate control system |
Go to Step 4 |
|
|
Frost sensor |
Check that the demisting sensor is operating correctly |
Go to Step 5 |
Demisting sensor not working correctly |
Replace the demisting sensor Op. 5040B64 SENSOR ON EVAPORATOR FOR A/C ECU - R + R |
|
|
Linear pressure transducer |
Check that the pressure transducer is working correctly |
Go to Step 6 |
Pressure transducer not working correctly |
Replace the linear pressure transducer Op. 5040B20 AIR CONDITIONING LINEAR PRESSURE TRANSDUCER - R.R. |
|
|
Expansion valve |
Check that the expansion valve is operating correctly and make sure that there are no obstructions |
Go to Step 7 |
Expansion valve not operating correctly |
Replace or restore the correct operation of the expansion valve Op. 5040B30 EXPANSION VALVE (ORIFICE TUBE) - R+R |
|
|
Dehumidifying filter |
Check the correct operation of the dehumidifying filter |
Go to Step 8 |
Incorrect operation of the dehumidifying filter |
Replace the dehumidifying filter Op. 5040C68 CONDENSATE DRAIN PIPE AND ANITI-CONDENSATION FILTER - ARRANGE |
|
|
Capacitor |
Check that the condenser is operating correctly |
End of diagnosis |
Condenser not working correctly |
Replace the condenser Op. 5040A40 AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER - R.R. , create vacuum for at least 30 minutes and restore the coolant pressurisation |
