OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

OPERATION

   

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
