is that a fault code from the aircon machine ? doesn't look like a genuine fault code to me... there usually p codes..
what diagnostic machine was used ? you usually cant diagnose a fault with a scanner as they don't talk to the aircon system there's either a leak on the system somewhere or the compressor has siezed up.. is there a clicking noise when the aircons turn's on ?

it was a huge black machine (still hand held) he pluged it into the port below the ash tray, and it read off the fault,
the air con control panel in the coak pit is fully working he confurmed that, but the air con pump only switched on when he put a 12v directly on the + wire to the pump, the pumped worked fine, it seems to just be the 12v feed, something between the c**k pit and the air con pump that is not the fuse is stoping it from switching on when it is ment to engage.
he said it could be the air con control module, dose that ring any bells with any one?
it was defently the fault code that he read off the machine....

air con is controlled via the uch which is controlled by the ecu.. engine management diagnostic should pick it up as the aircon request is controlled via it.
it needs fault codes checking in the ecu, then in the uch via body computer.
our crypton does it but ideally needs going on clip

its f*cked.
lol.
basically, being french.. they thought it would be a good idea to tie the air con in to pretty much all of the vehicles systems, for one reason or another.
its linked to the ecu because it turns it off when you floor it.
the uch (the body computer) is what actually controls it
all of the systems can be accessed with diagnostics but only by renault/someone with a clip computer

Where did you get it gassed and did they give you a printout of how much gas they put in?
If the gas sides okay, first thing I'd do is check the a/c pressure sensor connectors not full of water. If the sensors knackered and it thinks its got no gas in the compressor clutch wont kick in as Ditz said.

it was a mobile gas guy, company called zetech services, i watched him put in 650g, watched him weigh it and everything, it held pressure and when he put a drect 12v on it, it engaged and blew ice cold (oooo could have sooo done with it today) so i know its full of gas, where abouts is this sensor?
