Procedure
To run fault finding on the vehicle's computers, switch on the ignition in fault finding mode (forced + after ignition
feed).
Proceed as follows:
– Renault card in the card reader (keyless vehicle scenario 1, entry level, not hands-free and scenario 2, top of the
range, hands-free)
– press and hold the Start button (longer than 5 seconds) with start-up conditions not fulfilled,
– connect the diagnostic tool and perform the desired operations.
Note:
The left-hand and right-hand xenon bulb computers are powered when the dipped beam headlights light up. Fault
finding procedures can only be carried out on them after the ignition has been switched on in fault finding mode
(forced + after ignition feed) and the dipped headlights are on.

Faults
Faults are declared either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain situation and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain but have not been diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used after the
+ after ignition feed has been supplied (without acting on the system components).
For a present fault, apply the procedure described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the Notes are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the fault
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check statuses and parameters that do not produce a fault display on the
diagnostic tool when inconsistent. Therefore, this phase is used to:
– carry out fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer complaint.
– check that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault recurring after repairs.
This section features the fault finding procedures for statuses and parameters, and the conditions for checking them.
If a status is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside the permitted tolerance values, consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Notes about the conformity check for the climate control system
The air conditioning system conformity check is divided into four parts. The parts relate to the four air conditioning
subsystems, heater, cold loop, user selection and passenger compartment ventilation.
The statuses and parameters related to these sub-functions are listed with their respective computers.
NOTE: the manual air conditioning control panel does not control electrical components and cannot be subjected to
fault finding. Therefore, there is no conformity check in the 62C Manual air conditioning section.
Note:
The interpretation of statuses, parameters and commands is also split into several sections. Everything controlled
by the air conditioning control panel is explained in the two Air conditioning sections, 62A and 62B. By contrast,
signals from other computers are explained in the "fault finding" sections for these computers (see the conformity
check).

5. FAULT FINDING LOG
IMPORTANT:
Any fault on a complex system requires thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools. The FAULT
FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the fault finding procedure, ensures a record is kept of
the procedure carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the manufacturer.
6. SAFETY ADVICE
All work on components requires that the safety rules be obeyed to prevent damage or injury:
– Make sure the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low load.
– Use the appropriate tools.

Fault finding log
The air conditioning system uses four computers. The four computers are connected by the multiplex system, except
in the case of manual air conditioning, where the connection between the air conditioning control panel and the UCH
is by normal wiring.
The air conditioning control panel interprets the driver's wishes and transmits them to the other computers; it also
manages the passenger compartment ventilation, air distribution, air mixing and air recirculation.
The UCH transmits the request to engage the air conditioning compressor to the injection and controls the operation
of the passenger compartment heating resistors (RCH).
The injection receives the refrigerant fluid pressure signal from the pressure sensor. The injection computer
authorises or inhibits the request to engage the compressor depending on how the vehicle is operating and transmits
the signal to the Protection and Switching Unit (UPC).
The role of the UPC is to manage the power section of the air conditioning system. It controls the engagement of the
compressor, the engine cooling fan units and the heated rear screen.

General operation
The air conditioning system is composed of four sub-functions: heating, cold loop, passenger compartment
ventilation and user selection. Fault finding on the climate control is performed in two different ways using the
diagnostic tool.
The first procedure is by computer fault finding which makes it possible to communicate with just one computer
(select the computer concerned). The second procedure consists of performing fault finding by function which
allows communications to be established with all four computers of the AIR CONDITIONING function.
Heating subsystem: this subsystem includes everything relating to the production of warm air in the vehicle and
management of the heated rear screen.
The main computers involved are the climate control computer (air mixing and blown air setpoint) and the UCH
(control and management of the passenger compartment heating resistors). The Protection and Switching Unit
controls the heated rear screen (and heated door mirror). The injection computer is only included in this subsystem
to supply the signals required for its management.
Cold loop subsystem: this subsystem includes everything involved in the vehicle's production of cold air.
The computers concerned are the climate control computer for air mixing, the injection computer to authorise
compressor engagement and the UPC to control the compressor and the engine fan units. On climate control
systems, the UCH merely transmits the request to engage the compressor from the climate control computer to the
injection computer.
On manual air conditioning systems, the UCH authorises or inhibits transmission of the request to engage the
compressor from the climate control computer to the injection computer depending on the status of the passenger
compartment blower (with manual air conditioning, the UCH receives and manages the passenger compartment
blower speed signal: compressor engagement is inhibited if the fan is not running).
User selection subsystem: this subsystem includes everything used to transmit the user's requests (pressing
buttons). The computers concerned are the climate control computer for climate control systems and the UCH. The
two other computers are not used for manual air conditioning.
Passenger compartment ventilation subsystem (climate control systems only): this subsystem includes
everything involved in ventilation, air mixing, air recirculation and air distribution. Therefore, only the climate control
computer is involved.

Fault finding - Introduction 62B
Faults:
Faults are declared as either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but have not been diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used after the
+ after ignition feed has been supplied (without acting on the system components).
For a present fault, apply the procedure described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the instructions in the Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the notes are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the fault.
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check statuses and parameters that do not produce a fault display on the
diagnostic tool when they are inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
– carry out fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer complaint,
– check that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault recurring after repairs.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for statuses and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a status is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside the permitted tolerance values, consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Notes about the conformity check for the air conditioning system
All variables (statuses and parameters) and commands required for the air conditioning function are divided into four
sub-functions:
– the COLD LOOP sub-function, which groups together all the information required for producing cold air,
– the USER SELECTION sub-function, which groups together all the information relating to the user's requests
(buttons pressed, warning lights, etc.),
– the HEATING sub-function, which groups together all the information required for producing warm air,
– the PASSENGER COMPARTMENT VENTILATION sub-function, which groups together all the information
relating to ventilation, distribution and air distribution within the passenger compartment.

The conformity check for the air conditioning function is split into two parts:
1/ All information relating to the sensors and actuators controlled by the climate control panel (distribution motor,
mixing motor, recirculation motor, passenger compartment ventilation, etc.) is given in the conformity check for this

2/ All information relating to the air conditioning function (information provided by several computers) is given in
the conformity check in section 62A Air conditioning.
Note:
The interpretation of statuses, parameters and commands is also split into several sections. Everything which is
controlled by the control panel of the climate control function is dealt with in this section. However, signals from other
computers are interpreted in the fault finding sections of the computers which produce these signals.
If the diagnostic tool check is correct, but the customer complaint persists, it should be dealt with according to the

IMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system call for thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools. The
FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the fault finding procedure, ensures a
record is kept of the procedure carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the
WARNING! manufacturer.
● To be enclosed when returning monitored parts on request. The log is needed for warranty compensation, and
enables better analysis of the removed parts.
6. SAFETY ADVICE
All work on components requires obeying safety rules to prevent physical damage or human injury:
– Make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low charge.
– Do not smoke.
– Use the appropriate tools.

CLIMATE CONTROL
Vdiag No.: 44
Fault finding - System operation 62B
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The climate control system fitted on the SCENIC is controlled by four computers. This system is called a
DISTRIBUTED FUNCTION. Fault finding on the climate control is performed in two different ways using the
diagnostic tool. The first method consists of performing fault finding on each computer which allows
communications to be established with just one computer (select the climate control computer). The second
procedure consists of performing fault finding on each function which allows communications to be established
with all four computers of the AIR CONDITIONING function. These two fault finding methods are described in the
introduction of this repair manual.
The climate control computer controls the passenger compartment ventilation, the distribution motor, the mixing
motor and the recirculation motor.
The climate control computer also controls two sensors, these being the interior temperature sensor and the solar
radiation sensor.
The two sensors and the three motors are connected to the climate control computer by wire connections. The
climate control computer controls the passenger compartment ventilation using a modulated control signal (square
signal) sent to a power module (wire connection).
All other signals used by the climate control computer or transmitted by this computer to other computers are sent on
the multiplex network.
Cold air production (cold loop) and warm air production (heating) are controlled by the other three computers
involved in the Air conditioning function (UCH, protection and switching unit and injection computer).
OPERATING NOTES:
– When the engine is switched off, the passenger compartment blower unit operates approximately 30% slower than
the requested speed (control panel setting).
– If any of the actuators are faulty, the air conditioning can no longer control them, but the setting requests are still
displayed on the control panel: warning lights light up, display of symbols on the control panel (distribution motor
position, passenger compartment blower speed, AC symbol, etc.).
– If the exterior temperature sensor is faulty, the climate control computer is switched on 5 seconds after the
ignition is switched on (this allows a fault to be identified as fault finding cannot be performed on the exterior
temperature sensor by the UCH).

Fault finding - Configurations and programming 62B
CLIMATE CONTROL COMPUTER CONFIGURATION:
The climate control computer has 2 configuration functions. These configurations need to be set after the computer
has been replaced.
These two configurations are important as they ensure air conditioning is optimised within the vehicle (better control
of automatic climate control). If they are not correctly entered, cold air and warm air production will be severely
affected (e.g. heating resistors will not be switched on to heat the passenger compartment air).
These configurations can be accessed in repair mode by the diagnostic tool and can only be entered using
the fault finding by computer menu as opposed to the fault finding by function menu.
These configurations can be read, also using the diagnostic tool in repair mode to ensure they have been correctly
set. Configurations can be read in both fault finding by computer mode and fault finding by function mode.
– The first configuration is CF044 Vehicle type; this configuration allows you to enter the body type to which the
climate control computer is fitted (J84/R84 for 4 wheel drive Mégane Scénic and Scénic, and OTHER X84 for all
other Méganes). The configuration reading is called: LC013 Vehicle type.
– The second configuration is CF117 Type of heating resistors; this configuration is used to enter the type of
passenger compartment air heating resistors fitted in the vehicle. There are three options: WITHOUT for vehicles
without 1000 W and 1800 W resistors.
Heating resistors are mainly fitted on vehicles with Diesel engines.
They are located in the ventilation - air distribution unit (left-hand side), next to the heater matrix. The label affixed
to the resistor unit (with the part number) specifies whether the resistors are 1000 or 1800 W (Note: 1800 W
resistors are mainly fitted to Mégane Scénics). This configuration reading is called: LC043 Heating resistor.
Note:
In fault finding by function mode, the diagnostic tool can also display the configuration readings of the other computers
involved in the air conditioning function. All configurations of the air conditioning function (injection computer, UCH
and Protection and Switching Unit) are listed in Section 62A Air conditioning.
There is no specific programming operation for the mixing motor and the distribution motor.
However, the minimum and maximum limits of these motors have to be programmed. This operation is automatic and
is performed in the following cases:
– after replacing the mixing or distribution motor,
– after disconnecting the battery or after disconnecting the climate control computer supply fuse,
– if a fault, declared as present when the ignition was switched off, disappears the next time the ignition is switched
on.
IMPORTANT
To ensure this programming operation is performed correctly, the passenger compartment blower must be
switched off (speed set to 0).

This sensor measures the solar radiation level and transmits the information to the climate control computer
in the form of a measurement in W/m 2. This measurement ranges from 0 to 400 W. The sensor is faulty if it
gives a value of 400 W although the vehicle is in the shade (in the workshop) as this value equals maximum
solar radiation.
If the value displayed by this parameter seems to be incorrect: check the signal transmitted by the sensor
based on the solar radiation, by measuring between track 2 of the sensor and earth (solar sensor connected

This setting is used to control the mixing motor and the request to operate the passenger compartment air
heating resistors (to reach the temperature requested by the user as quickly as possible in order to optimise
passenger compartment comfort quickly).
The following conditions must be satisfied to allow the UCH to control the passenger compartment air heating
resistors:
– Engine running,
– Passenger compartment blower running (minimum speed 1),
– User temperature setting above 20 °C (or automatic mode requested),
– Blown air temperature setting above 65 °C,
– Interior temperature below 10 °C,
– Exterior temperature below 5 °C,
– Engine coolant temperature below 65 °C,
– Injection authorisation (ET019 Number of RCHs authorised by injection system < at 1),
– Alternator authorisation (ET018 Number of RCHs authorised by alternator < at 1).
Note:
– Statuses ET017, ET018 and ET019 are indicated by the UCH (see conformity check of air conditioning

MEASURING THE CONTROL VOLTAGE OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BLOWER
POWER MODULE
There are two ways to measure the control voltage of the passenger compartment blower power module:
1 / MEASURING USING A MULTIMETER (in the voltmeter position, direct voltage measurement):
With the power module connector connected, measure across track 6 of the module and the earth.
At speed 0 the voltage measured is equal to the battery voltage (± 1 V) and at speed 8 the voltage is 5 V (± 0.5 V). The
voltage varies between 0 and 14 V for the seven intermediate speeds.

Operation of the engine cooling fan assembly according to the refrigerant fluid pressure
and vehicle speed.
The engine cooling fan assembly is not used for vehicle speeds over 42 mph (70 km/h), except in rare cases where
the refrigerant fluid pressure is above 23 bar in spite of the speed (e.g.: driving behind a lorry).
When stationary, the engine cooling fan is used systematically at low speed if the refrigerant fluid relative pressure is
below 19 bar, at high speed in the opposite case.
While driving, the engine cooling fan may either not operate, or operate at low or high speed depending on the
refrigerant fluid pressure at the condenser outlet and the vehicle speed.

3. REMINDERS
Procedure
To run fault finding on the vehicle's computers, switch on the ignition in fault finding mode (+ after ignition forced
setting).
Proceed as follows:
– With the vehicle card in the card reader (scenario 1 keyless vehicle, entry level, without hands-free and
scenario 2, top of the range, hands-free),
– Press and hold start button (longer than 5 seconds) with start-up conditions not fulfilled,
– Connect the diagnostic tool and perform the required operations.
Note:
The left-hand and right-hand Xenon bulb computers are powered when the dipped
headlights are lit. Fault finding procedures can only be carried out on them after the
ignition has been switched on in fault finding mode (+ after ignition forced setting) and the
dipped headlights are on.
Faults
Faults are declared either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but have not had fault finding performed on them within the
current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used after the
+ after ignition feed has been supplied (without acting on the system components).
For a present fault, apply the method described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the instructions in the Notes section are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the fault
Conformity check
The conformity check is designed to check the states and parameters which do not display any faults on the
diagnostic tool when inconsistent. This phase therefore allows:
– Diagnoses of faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer complaint.
– Checks to ensure that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault reappearing after
repairs.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for states and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a state is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside permitted tolerance values, you should refer to the
corresponding fault finding page.

WARNING: A full fault finding procedure must be carried out for all faults on a complex system
using suitable tools. The FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the fault
WARNING: finding procedure, ensures a record is kept of the procedure carried out. It is an essential item
when discussing the fault with the constructor.
IT IS THEREFORE MANDATORY TO FILL OUT A FAULT FINDING LOG EACH TIME FAULT FINDING IS
CARRIED OUT.
6. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
All work on components requires the observation of safety rules to prevent physical damage or human injury:
– Make sure the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low charge.
– Do not smoke,
– Use the proper tools.

System operation
The manual heating and ventilation system does not have a computer. It consists solely of a control panel from which
the compressor (controlled by the Protection and Switching Unit and injection), the passenger compartment heating
resistors (controlled by the UCH with permission from the Protection and Switching Unit and injection) and rear de-
icer (managed by the Protection and Switching Unit) are started as explained in the synopsis of heating and
ventilation system operation in Section 62A.
The panel, by means of cables, also controls the air distribution flaps, air distribution and recycling, as well as fan
assembly speed through a connecting wire and resistor unit.
