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 switched on after the + after ignition feed (without any system components being active). 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 instructions in the Notes section are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the fault If the fault is not confirmed, check: the electrical lines which correspond to the fault, the connectors for these lines (for oxidation, bent pins, etc.), the resistance of the component detected as faulty, the condition of the wires (melted or split insulation, wear). Conformity check The aim of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool because the data is 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. Customer complaints - Fault finding chart If the test with the diagnostic tool is OK but the customer complaint is still present, the fault should be processed by customer complaint. A synopsis of the general procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the form of a flow chart.

FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (continued) Wiring check Fault finding problems Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring harness may temporarily remove the cause of a fault. Electrical measurements of voltage, resistance and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is not present when the analysis is made (stored fault). Visual inspection Look for damage under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment. Carefully check the fuses, insulators and wiring harness routing. Look for signs of oxidation. Tactile inspection While manipulating the wiring harness, use the diagnostic tool to note any change in fault status from stored to present. Make sure that the connectors are properly locked. Apply light pressure to the connectors. Twist the wiring harness. If there is a change in status, try to locate the source of the fault. Inspection of each component Disconnect the connectors and check the appearance of the clips and tabs, as well as the crimping (no crimping on the insulating section). Make sure that the clips and tabs are properly locked in the sockets. Check that no clips or tabs have been dislodged during connection. Check the clip contact pressure using an appropriate model of tab. Resistance check Check the continuity of entire lines, then section by section. Look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12 V or to another wire. If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring harness.

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 procedure, enables you to keep track of the procedure which is carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the manufacturer.

IMPORTANT

IT IS THEREFORE MANDATORY TO FILL OUT A FAULT FINDING LOG EACH TIME FAULT FINDING IS CARRIED OUT. You will always be asked for this log: when requesting technical assistance from Techline, for approval requests when replacing parts for which approval is mandatory, to be attached to monitored parts for which reimbursement is requested. The log is needed for warranty reimbursement, and enables better analysis of the parts removed.

6. SAFETY ADVICE Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any damage or injury: make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low load, Use the proper tools.

POWER ASSISTED STEERING Fault finding - System operation

36B

GENERAL OPERATION On this vehicle, the steering system is power-assisted by an electric motor attached to the steering column. The driver's action is relayed by a torque sensor, which measures the force applied to the steering, and a steering column angle sensor. Assistance is given by an electric motor which applies more or less torque to the steering column, in one direction or the other. A computer controls this assistance according to several vehicle environment parameters, including the vehicle speed. EPAS ALSO OFFERS THE FOLLOWING: Active recall: This function is made necessary by the design of the front axle of vehicles with electric power assisted steering. It is used to bring the steering wheel back to the straight-ahead position when the vehicle is moving slowly (but not stationary). This function is normal on hydraulic power steering vehicles or vehicles without assistance. This function cannot be deactivated by the diagnostic tool. This feature is inactive when the steering wheel angle is not available (ET020 Programming steering wheel angle sensor for STATUS 1, STA TUS 2 and STATUS 3). Lock torque limit: This function limits the assistance torque when the steering wheel is held at full lock with considerable effort, when the vehicle is stationary or travelling at a speed less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The purpose of this function is to limit overheating of the electric power assisted steering motor. Note: When the computer detects a fault, the level of assistance can be modified depending on how serious the fault is. An incorrect or absent vehicle speed signal results in assistance equal to that provided at 60 mph (100 km/h) without active return. The EPAS sends a Steering wheel angle signal to the ESP computer.

In normal operation, this parameter shows the steering assistance value which depends on the level of motor protection. When the user holds the steering at full lock for more than 0.5 seconds, assistance drops to 52 %. This parameter can fall below 100 % when the EPAS system is heated during repeated manoeuvres; this stores fault DF001 Motor thermal protection if the heating lasts longer than 1 minute.

STEERING WHEEL ANGLE

PR121

NOTES

None.

This parameter shows the steering wheel position in relation to the programmed zero (performed by command VP004 Steering wheel angle sensor programming). This parameter is positive to the right and negative to the left. If the angle remains at 3696, either: the steering wheel angle programming has not been carried out (ET020 Steering wheel angle programming is STATUS 1 or STATUS 2), or the steering wheel is outside the range 120 d (ET020 Steering wheel angle programming is STATUS 3 ), when the APC is switched on, therefore the angle is valid; the angle is STATUS 4 only if the steering wheel is within the range 120 d. As the sensor's coverage is not complete, it needs to come within this zone to detect its position. Thus, when the APC is switched on, if the steering wheel is not within the range 120 d then the angle is invalid ( ET020 Steering wheel angle programming is STATUS 3 ). Simply rotating the steering wheel so that it is in the 120 d range will allow a valid angle to be found ( ET020 Steering wheel angle programming is STATUS 4), when the EPAS is operating correctly, the sensor is faulty DF038 Angle sensor. If the angle remains at 3696, with action on the steering wheel and status ET020 Steering wheel angle programming is STATUS 4 , contact the Techline. If the parameter does not correspond to the values shown in the Conformity check, place the vehicle on a geometry test bench (front axle bench).

Loss of vehicle assistance without warning

NOTES

Only consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.

The vehicle is no longer assisted if the Electric Power Steering fuse is damaged or supply is lost. The steering is equivalent to manual steering, manoeuvrable when driving even at low speeds, but very difficult to manoeuvre when stopped. Since it is no longer being supplied, the EPAS computer is not capable of lighting the warning light, but the instrument panel lights the STOP warning light + Message 4 seconds after the loss of the feed causing the loss of assistance. The driver will only become aware of the fault through noticing the loss of assistance at the steering wheel. Check the fuses for the electric power-assisted steering: 80A BP81 Power fuse in the engine fuse box. 5A AP44 + after ignition fuse on the UPC. Check the condition of the electric power-assisted steering connectors and repair if necessary. Check that the electrical feeds to the computer are correct: 2-track connector track 2 2-track connector track 1 8-track connector track 8 vehicle earth + battery feed + After ignition feed

Repair if necessary. Check the insulation, continuity and the absence of interference resistance on the connections between the electric power-assisted steering computer and the instrument panel. 8-track connector, track 6 8-track connector track 4 track 30 of the instrument panel track 29 of the instrument panel

Check that the steering column and steering rack are in sound mechanical condition. Repair if necessary.

Too little assistance

NOTES

Note: With the steering wheel on full lock, assistance is reduced after 0.5 seconds.

Check the pressures and condition of the tyres, the condition of the joints and the front axle geometry. Check the vehicle battery voltage. Check the charge circuit if necessary. Do not operate the EPAS for at least 1 hour. Check that parameters PR008 Computer temperature, PR009 Steering motor temperature and PR014 Assistance level available are correct (see Conformity check). Make sure that no component located in the vicinity of the electric power-assisted steering system causes an abnormal temperature rise in the system. If the fault is still present, contact the Techline. Note: After the steering system has been heated a number of times, the EPAS limits assistance itself to protect its electrical components. It is normal for the system to do this.
