Fiche n° 27
BATTERY VOLTAGE
XR25 aid:Battery voltage, ignition on, Minimum < # 04 < Maximum
Battery voltage, idle speed, Minimum < # 04 < Maximum
No fault bargraphs should be illuminated.
No consumersNOTES
If # 04 < Minimum, the battery is discharged:
Check the charging circuit to determine the cause of this fault.
Ignition on
If # 04 > Maximum, the battery may be overcharged:
Check the charging voltage is correct with and without consumers.
If # 04 < Minimum, the charging voltage is too low:
Check the charging circuit to determine the cause of this fault.
At idle speed
If # 04 > Maximum, the charging voltage is too high:
The alternator regulator is faulty. Repair this fault and check the electrolyte level in the battery.
NOTE:
The battery and the charging circuit may be checked using the OPTIMA 5800 station (measurement does
not require the battery to be disconnected, which retains the memories of the computers).

Check the resistance of the throttle potentiometer when the throttle butterfly is moved.
If the resistance varies, check the electrical lines of the sensor.
If the resistance does not vary, check that the sensor is connected mechanically to the throttle.
If necessary, replace the sensor.

Check the upper and lower stops of the throttle butterfly.
Check the accelerator control (points of resistance and friction).

COOLANT TEMPERATURE
XR25 aid: # 02 = Engine temperature ± 5 °C
No fault bargraphs should be illuminated.NOTES
If the value read is incoherent, check the sensor is correctly following the standard table of values for
"resistance as a function of temperature".
Replace the sensor if the values are incorrect (
NOTE : If a sensor is incorrect, this is often due to an electric
shock).
