169793 - L12 CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM NOT COOLING TO THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE

The control button activates the passenger compartment fan properly but the temperature of the air is not correct.
STEPOPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUTTEST RESULTS
1CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Connect the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) to the diagnostic socket and check:

  • that there are no faults in the climate control system node
  • parameter plausibility
Move on to Step 1. Presence of faults1. Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
2. Parameters not plausible2. Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
3. No communication between climate control system control unit3. Restore connection between the climate control unit and diagnostic connector (Wiring Diagram ) E6020 AIR CONDITIONING
2CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
2.4 20 V,2.0 TB,3.0 V6Keeping the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) connected to the diagnostic socket, check:

  • that there are no faults in the engine management node
  • parameter plausibility
Move on to Step 1. Presence of faults1. Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
2. Parameters not plausible2. Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
3. No dialogue with the engine management control unit3. Restore the connection between the engine management control unit and the diagnostic connector (Wiring Diagram ) E5030 PETROL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
2CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
2.4 JTD 10VKeeping the diagnostic equipment (Examiner or other instruments) connected to the diagnostic socket, check:

  • that there are no faults in the engine management node
  • parameter plausibility
Move on to Step 1. Presence of faults1. Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
2. Parameters not plausible2. Continue following the instructions for the diagnostic equipment
3. No dialogue with the engine management control unit3. Restore the connection between the engine management control unit and the diagnostic connector (Wiring Diagram ) E5050 DIESEL ENGINE ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT
3AIR TEMPERATURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check the temperature of the air at the vents (see Test 5040A)    Continue following the instructions in the test 5040A Air conditioning system operational check (temperature)Move on to Step Temperature not correctMove on to Step
4SYSTEM PRESSURE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Connect the climate control system to the special repressurizing equipment and check the system pressures.    Continue following the instructions in the test 5040B Air conditioning system operational check (pressure)Move on to Step 1. High and Low pressure values below the correct figures1. Repressurize the system    See in Op. 5040A10 Air conditioning coolant circuit - Drying and Repressurizing
2. High and Low pressure values above the correct figuresMove on to Step
3. High and Low pressure values do not alter when the air conditioning is activated.3. Replace the compressor    See in Op. 5040A20 Air conditioning COMPRESSOR - R.R. - Includes fluid level check and top up if necessary
4. Condenser cooling fan is not activated/deactivated at the correct pressuresMove on to Step
5CIRCUIT CAHRGE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check that the system charge is not too high.Move on to Step System charge too high.Restore the correct charge    See in Op. 5040A10 Air conditioning coolant circuit - Drying and Repressurizing
6COOLANT CIRCUIT OBSTRUCTIONS CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
2.0 TB,2.4 20 V,2.4 JTD 10VCheck that the pipes and the filter are not obstructed.Move on to Step 1. Pipe from compressor to condenser obstructed1. Replace the pipe    See in Op. 5040A50 PIPE from compressor to air conditioner condenser - R and R
2. Pipe from condenser to filter obstructed2. Replace the pipe    See in Op. 5040A52 PIPE from condenser to drier filter - R and R
3. Pipe from filter to expansion valve obstructed3. Replace the pipe    See in Op. 5040A54 Pipe from drier filter to expansion valve - R.R.
4. Filter obstructed4. Replace the filter    See in Op. 5040A44 Air conditioner drier filter/accumulator - R and R
6COOLANT CIRCUIT OBSTRUCTIONS CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
3.0 V6Check that the pipes and the filter are not obstructed.Move on to Step 1. Pipe from condenser to filter obstructed1. Replace the pipe    See in Op. 5040A52 PIPE from condenser to drier filter - R and R
2. Pipe from filter to expansion valve obstructed2. Replace the pipe    See in Op. 5040A54 Pipe from drier filter to expansion valve - R.R.
3. Filter obstructed3. Replace the filter    See in Op. 5040A44 Air conditioner drier filter/accumulator - R and R
7CONDENSER CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check that the condenser is not blocked.Move on to Step Condenser blockedReplace the condenser    See in Op. 5040A44 Air conditioner drier filter/accumulator - R and R
8EXPANSION VALVE CHECKALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check the operation of the expansion valve.Move on to Step Expansion valve defectiveReplace the expansion valve    See in Op. 5040B31 Expansion VALVE on evaporator for automatic climate control system - R.R.
9CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Check that the fault is no longer presentFault persistsReplace the climate control system control unit    See in Op. 5040D18 Air conditioning CONTROL UNIT - R.R.
