Dual-sensor temperature measuring device

Note:
When performing RENAULT maintenance, check
the air conditioning system at the end of the vehi-
cle's maintenance program so that the engine will
be cold.

I - PREPARATION OPERATION FOR THE

MEASUREMENT DEVICE
a Check that the measurement device functions pro-
perly (see the device's instruction manual).
a Set units to ˚C.
119358
a Set the device's sensitivity to 0.1˚C.
a Check the two sensors T1 and T2 in order to calcu-
late the correction (∆) to be applied to the measure-
ment (T1 - T2). the two sensors must indicate the
same measurement under the same conditions.
Check the sensors by:

- bringing the ends of the 2 sensors together until

they touch,

- placing the sensors in the air flow of an air vent,

- setting the passenger compartment fan assembly

to top speed.

- waiting for the value to become stable.

- recording the correction value (∆).

Note:
It is not necessary to start the vehicle. The
device display is in mode (∆T) = (T1 - T2).
119360
a Set the reading mode to (∆T) = (T1 - T2)
WARNING
Note the difference and sign as soon as the tem-
perature becomes stable.
Calculate the correction (∆) = - (T1 - T2) to be
applied to the measurement (∆T).
Examples:
If (T1 - T2) = - 0.3˚C, correct the measurement
(∆T) by (∆) = + 0.3˚C
If (T1 - T2) = + 0.3˚C, correct the measurement
(∆T) by (∆) = - 0.3˚C

a Set the air conditioning controls with:
- recirculation mode in the external position,
- the ventilation distribution in "face" mode,
- the temperature control to coldest temperature set-
ting in front (and at the back, if it exists),
- the speed of the passenger compartment fan as-

- the front side and centre air vents open with the va-

- between T3 and the higher of values T1 or T2, (T3
- highest value).
- record this difference in temperature.
- between T1 and T2 (read the (∆T) value (T1-T2)

ding to the correction (∆) to be applied to the

IV - FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE

a The following two following conditions must be met:
- the difference between T3 and the higher of the two
values T1 or T2, must be greater than or equal to
5˚C,
- the difference between T1 and T2 must be less
than or equal to 2˚C.

Note:
If one of these two conditions is not met, then the
air conditioning system is not working properly.
Should this be the case, refer to the fault finding
procedure for the air conditioning system for the
vehicle concerned.
