Condition of breakdown detection by the calculator:
-do a route-test, with the engine heated and under high rotation
ra tio.
Condition of performing the diagnosing:
-the defe ct is present
-the defect has been memorized but is re corded in the “present” state.
SUGGESTIONS
Check the connection and the condition of the detonation sensor
Change the connector if necessary.
Check the mounting of the detonation sensor on the engine block.
Tighten to the couple the detonation sensor.
Connect the 90-way terminal-tester instead of the calculator and check the insulation,
the continuity and the absence of contact resistance along the circuits:
pin 20 of calculator -> pin 1 of detonation sensor
pin 79 of calculator -> pin 2 of detonation sensor
pin 79 of calculator -> detonation sensor screening.
Remedy if necessary.
If the incident persists, change the detonation sensor.
Th e pr ob lem is not yet solved! Consequently, the injection calculator must be changed.
CAUTION! The destruction of the calculator has probably been caused by an electric shock.
The cause of the destruction must be found before mounting a new

Condition of breakdown detection by the calculator:
-take the contact, and wait for the dialogue with the tester to be lost,
then set the contact and resume dialogue.
Condition of performing the diagnosing:
-defec t is present
-the defect has been memorized but is recorded in the “present” state.
Note: The calculator will command the compressor relay only if the con-
d itions are met which allow the good operational mode of the air-condi-
tioning installation (pressure of refrigerating agent in installation, work-
ing electric circuit between calculator and A.C. start switch).
