FUNCTIONING AND DIAGNOSING
These c ars are equipped with interna l ve ntilation alternators, with i n-built voltage re gu-
lator a nd on-board light indicator, which must work as follows:
-when the contact is on, the light is on;
-when the engine start s, the light goes out;
-if t he l ight is on again as t he engine is runni ng, then i t i ndicates a charging dysfunc-
tion.
S
HOOT - FINDING INCIDE NT S
A.The light does not turn on when the contact is on.
To check:
-if the electric connections are done prope rly;
-if the light of the board indicator is working properly (when the circuit is set to the
mass, the light must turn on). AL

ST ARTING AND CHARGING
B.The light turns on when the engine is running
This indicates a charging fa ult, the cause of which may be: - the carrying belt of t he alternator i s broken, the charging conductor i s cut (+ con-
tinuous); - a fault with the alternator (rotor, stator, diodes or brushes);
- a fault with the voltage regulator;
- a voltage surge (overvoltage).
C. The customer / user claims a fault with the charging, as the
on-board light works correctly.
If the re gulated voltage is less than 13.5 V, the alternator is checked. The cause of the defect may be:
- a burnt diode;
- disconnected or cut live wire;
- the coal powder or the wear of the collector.
C
ONTROL OF VO LTAG E
A voltmeter is connected across the terminals of the battery and the voltage value is
read.
The engine is run until the needle of the voltmeter settles at the regulated voltage. This value should be within 13.5 and 14.8 V.
The maximum of consumer devices are connected: the voltage should remain between 13.5 and 14.5 V.
CAUTION!
In case electric arc welding i s being done on t he car, the battery and t he voltage
regulator will be compulsorily disconnected (t he alternator).

The UCE injection
calculator is delivered without a code, but it is able to memorize a code.
When mounting a new c alculator, it will have to memorize the code anti-start fuction
singularity of this car, then one has to check if the a nti-start function is operational. In
order to do that, the following operations must be done: -the contact is set for a fe w seconds, then it is taken out;
-after t aking out the key, the anti-start function is actived.

NSPE CT ING THE ANT I - ST ART FUNCT IO N
Take the key out of the contact and after 10 seconds the anti-start light indicator on the
board must begin to flash on and off. When setting the contact on, the anti-start ing indicator must turn off.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE AIR-CONDITIONINGON THE INJECTION SYSTEM
The air-conditioning installation ( AC) uses a variable cylinder-volume compressor.
There are the following connections between the air-co nditioning and the petrol injection system:
-pin no. 46 of t he injection calculator re ceives the i nformation “ solicit accelera ted
idle mode” when the button for t he air-conditioning i nstallation is pre ssed and the pres-
su re of the freon in the installation is above a limit.
-the i nformation “ absorbed power” does not infl uence the idle m ode re gime, but lets
the calculator know about the value of the couple taken by the compressor, and the calcu-
lator will opera te the step-by-step engine, through pins nos. 12, 41, 42 and 72, in order to
compensate for the couple fall. With the tester it can read in t he m enu : « Parameters l ist «
the power absorbed by the compre ssor, wich will be between 300 and 5000 W. The value
that is re ad will be of m inimum 300 W, irre spective of the coupled / uncoupled state of the
compressor.
-pin no. 10 of the injection calculator will command the E relay located in the fuse-
box of the engine compartment, which will couple the compressor.
The injection calculator c an prohibit the coupling of the AC compre ssor:
-it does not allow the coupling of the compresso r before 10 seconds after the starting of the engine;
-accordi ng to the couple re quired from t he e ngine by the driver - a nd in cert ain
s ituations according to the power absorbed by t he c ompressor - the calculator c an forbid or
authorize the starting of the compressor;
-if the water temperature is higher than, or equal to 11 5
oC, the therm ic prot ection is oper-
ated, which will not authori ze the start ing of the compre ssor; -the overload protection doe s not permit t he coupling of t he compressor when the
revolution ratio of the engine is over 5900 rot/min.

BATTERY
CHECKING
It is recommended to check the following: -cr acks or breaches of the battery box (case);
- the battery upper part cleanness;
- the plugs condition.
It is required to strictly check the following: -lack of plugs sulfate composite;
- proceed, is necessary to their cleaning and greasing;
- check the correct wiring plugs tightening at the battery plugs. The existence of an imperfect
contact may generate incidents at engine starting or at battery charging, sparks producing risk
being possible to occur, which may cause the battery explosion;
- check the electrolyte level.
For the batteries provided with access plugs, which may be dismounted, proceed as follows:
-r emove the plugs;
- check the electrolyte level in each element;
-i f n ecessary , refill the level, using only distill ed water, till maximum 1.5 cm above the plates.
AT TENT ION
N ever fill up with electrolyte, but only with distilled wat er.
PRECAUTIONS
It is important to know that: -the battery contains sulfuric acid which is a dangerous substance;
- during battery charging, oxygen and hydrogen are produced. The mixture of these two
gases is forming a detonate gas, which may lead to the explosion risk.
1. DANGER = ACID
The sulfuric acid solution is a very aggressive, toxic and corrosive product. This is a ttacking
the skin, the clothes and may lead to the corrosion of most of the metals. Also, it is very important, that, when you handle a battery , to consider the following precautions:
- protect the eyes by using protective glasses;
- wear anti-acid gloves and clothes. PARTICULARITIES

AT TENT ION
In case of acid slashes on body, abundantly wash with water al l affected parts.
If eyes have been touched, urgently call for a doctor.
1. DANGER = EXPLOSION RISK
During battery charging, connected to a charger-rectifier, oxygen and hydrogen emissions are
occurring. These gases emission is stronger when the battery has reached the complete charge
condition and the produced gas quantity is in direct connection with the charging current. The oxygen and hydrogen are associating in the free spaces, at the plates surface, forming a
detonate mixture, which is very explosive. The littlest spark is sufficient to generate an explosion,
followed by the battery case brooking and a cid splashing in the proximate environment. The
persons, who are a round, are in da nger t o be hurt by t he e xploded case chips or by the acid,
which may come i n contact with the eyes, hands, or face.
AT TENT ION
Strictly observe the following recommendations:
- before connecting or reconnecting a battery, ensure that all consumers are
shouted off; -during battery charging in a room, using a c harger-rectifier, turn it off be fore
connecting or reconnecting the battery to this one;
-do not place m etallic objects on the battery for not producing a short-circuit
between its plugs;
-never bring closer to a battery, an open flame, a welding lamp or another fire
source.
THE ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT PROTECTION
In case of an intervention on the vehicle, some measures must be taken, for the electric equip-
ment protection against damages or for avoiding a short-circuit that may lead to vehicle firing. The
battery is to be allwith disconnected by first disconnecting the negative plug and then the positive
one. Connection is to be done by performing the disconnecting operations in the reverse order.
Before starter acting, check if the battery is correctly connected (the negative plug connected
to the ground), and if the plugs are clean and well tightened. Never disconnect the battery when
the engine is running, in order not to damage the voltage regulator, the alternator or some
components of the vehicle checking electronic systems. The alternator, voltage re gulator
disconnecting, a nd the interventions at their connections, are to be performed only when the
engine is stopped (the alternator is not turning) and the contact is taken off. In case the battery is connected to a charger-rectifier, for charging (without dismounting the
battery off the vehicle), it is obligatory to disconnect the wiring from the battery plugs. BATTERY

NOTE
For the RF remote control synchronisation, after the replacement of an E.C.U.
decoder, the synchronisation procedure must be performed taking into account the
following situations: -for one RF re m ot e c ont ro l , pe rf orm t he “ SIMP L E SY NC H RONIS ED
PRO CEDURE”;
-f or the second RF remote control perform the “SPECIFIC SYNCHRONISED
PRO CEDURE”.
B. KIT REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE(E.C.U. decoder plus 2 key he ads)
In case of one kit replacement perform the following steps:
- memorising the anti starting code by the E.C.U. decoder
- memorising of the new anti starting code by the injection computer; i t is necessary the
repairing code (found out based on the old ke y heads code) and t he CLIP tester.
Perform the actions in the following sequence:
1. Mount the metal insertions of the old keys to the new key heads.
2. Send to Tech Line the key heads code, written on the vehicle invoice, in order to get the
repairing code. 3. Connect the CLIP tester to the diagnostic socket and to the battery (or t o the lighter
socket) of the vehicle. Read the configuration of the old E.C.U. decoder before dismounting off
the vehicle, as follows: - select vehicle type “SUPERNOVA” and the “050” equipping level;
- enter the menu “ COMPUTER TEST” then choose “ ANTI STARTING”;
- access “COMMAND MODE” then “READ CONFIGURATIONS”;
- note the configurations : petrol/diesel, programming with 1 or 2 keys, ceiling delay, the
type of the doors’ blocking switch (CPE), etc.;
4. Get back to the m enu “ANTI STARTING”;
5. Dismount the old E.C.U. decoder and replace it with a new one, the contact being off.
6. Check the configuration of the new E.C.U. decoder selecting “ STATE LIST”; here you
must find the following states: 18G FIRST CYCLE MEMORISINGPASSIVE…………………INACTIVE
19G NOT PERFORMED KEY PROGRAMMING ……………….ACTIVE
19D UNLOCKED KEY PROGRAMMING ………………………ACTIVE
NOTE
If the state 19G and 19D are not “ACTIVE” this m eans the E.C.U. decoder isn’t a
n ew one and cannot memorise another anti starting c ode. PROCEDURES
