3363658 - 5040BC Check activation/deactivation of climate control compressor from linear sensor
Disconnect the electrical connector for the linear sensor.Connect a linear potentiometer
(end of scale 1 Kohm, previously positioned at aruond 500 ohm between
the centre pin and one of the side ones) to the pins for the electrical
connector of the linear sensor.
1 - +5v
2 - Earth
3 - SignalPlace the key in the ON positionUsing a multimeter, check that the voltage between
pins 2 (earth) and 3 is about 2.5 V.Start up the engine and switch the air conditioning on,
using the special switch located on the climate control unit.The climate control system should work properly under
these circumstances.Vary the potentiometer resistance until
the reading on the multimeter between pins 2 (earth) and 3 is about
0V. Under these circumstances, the air conditioning should
switch off because the engine management node receives the low circuit
pressure information.Vary the potentiometer resistance until
the reading on the multimeter between pins 2 (earth) and 3 is about
4.6V.Under these circumstances, the air conditioning should
switch off because the engine management node receives the high
circuit pressure information.
