125000626 - L10 CLIMATE CONTROL NOT COOLING

The fan works properly and sends air into the interior compartment in accordance with the set flows, but this air remains at the external temperature and is not cooled.
The enablement to switch on the refrigerating circuit is controlled by the climate control and engine management control units. So if the air conditioning does not cool under particular conditions, this is correct.

1CHECK WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner) to the diagnostic socket.Check that there are no fault in the engine management control unit.Check that there are no faults in the climate control control unitContinue to Step 2An error is detected in the control unitContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
An error is detected in climate control unitContinue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
Lack of communication with the climate control system control unit (CAN line error)Restore connection between climate control system control unit and body computer connector See    See E6020 AIR CONDITIONING
2ACTIVE DIAGNOSIS WITH DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Using the diagnostic equipment (Examiner) connected to the engine management node, carry out active diagnosis on the operation of the compressor engagement relayContinue to Step 3Compressor engagement relay faultyReplace the relay
Connections not correctRestore the connection between engine management control unit, relay and compressor coupling See    See E6021 COMPRESSOR ENGAGEMENT
3CHECK COMPRESSOR ACTIVATION ELECTRICAL CIRCUITAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the operation of the compressor electro-magnet coupling.Continue to Step 4Connections not correctRestore the connections between the climate control unit, pressure switch and control unit See    See E6021 COMPRESSOR ENGAGEMENT
Pressure switch defectiveReplace the pressure switch Op.    Op. 5040B14 AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM MULTI-LEVEL PRESSURE SWITCH - R+R
4CHECK COMPRESSOR ELECTRO-MAGNET COUPLINGAll OKProblems metOperation

Check, in order:

  • Compressor activation control
  • 4 stage pressure switch
  • Connection between compressor activation relay and the control.
Continue to Step 5Defective compressor coupling.Replace the compressor complete with coupling Op.    Op. 5040A34 PULLEY WITH COMPRESSOR ELECTROMAGNETIC COUPLING - R+R WITH COMPRESSOR REMOVED
5CHECKING SYSTEM PRESSUREAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the system pressuresContinue to Step 6High pressure does not increase or low pressure decreases too much: leaks in the circuitLocate the leaks and restore the correct operation.
High pressure continues to rise: the compressor cooling fan does not interveneIf the fault is associated with that of excessive engine heating, proceed as described inSee table    See table K25 ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE NOT WORKING
6CHECKING EVAPORATORAll OKProblems metOperation
