WARNING
In order to prevent any risk of damage to the ro-
tary switch beneath the steering wheel, the follo-
wing instructions should be observed:
• Before disconnecting the steering column and
the rack, the steering wheel MUST be immobi-
lised with the wheels straight, using a "stee-
ring wheel lock", throughout the operation.
• If there is any doubt that the rotary switch is
properly centred, the steering wheel must be
removed in order to apply the centring method
described in section 88 "Air bag".
REMINDER: this kind of work must only be carried
out by properly trained and qualified staff.

OPTIMA 5800 Diagnostic station
CHECKING THE STARTER MOTOR USING THE DIAGNOSTIC STATION
Checking of the starter motor is carried out using the OPTIMA 5800, by measuring the battery voltage and
the current absorbed in the engine starting phase. The following operation faults may be highlighted :
- a fault in the battery ( the voltage falls during the starting phase),
- locking of the starter motor (the current absorbed is too high),
- a fault in the engine starter gear (the current absorbed is too low).
In order to carry out the measurement, it is necessary to stop the vehicle from starting :
- for D7F and E7J engines : disconnect the engine speed sensor (located on the clutch housing ,
- for
F8Q engines : disconnect the pump electrical solenoid and isolate the terminal.
NOTE :
- an open circuit on the engine speed sensor or the ignition creates a fault memorised by the injection
computer, this fault must then be erased from the memory using the
XR25 (see "Injection" section),
- if the engine is fitted with an immobiliser, it is sufficient to lock the doors using the remote control.
