SPEEDOMETER
An E.E.C. decree of 25 June 1976, regulates the speed displayed by the speedmeter in relation to the actual speed travelled.
This decree stipulates:
- The speed indicated by a speedometer must never be lower than the actual vehicle speed.
- Between the speed displayed «SD»and the speed travelled «ST», there must always be the following relationship:
ST < SD < 1.10 ST + 4 Kph
Example:For an actual speed of 100 Kphthe speed displayed by the speedometer may be between 100and 114 Kph.
The speed indicated by the speedometer may be influenced by:
- The speedometer.
- The tyres fitted to the vehicle.
- The final drive ratio.
- The speedometer drive ratio.
Any of these components can be checked without removing them from the vehicle
(see information note N° 78-85 TT of 19 October 1978).
NOTE:Before replacing the speedometer, check the conformity of the following points:
- The tyres fitted to the vehicle.
- The gearbox final drive ratio.
- The speedometer drive ratio.

RECOMMENDATIONS/PRECAUTIONS : AL4 AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Procedure to be followed prior to carrying out repairs on AL4 autoactive gearbox
If a gearbox malfunction occurs, there are two possible configurations
depending on the seriousness of the fault:
- Gearbox in back-up mode with a replacement programme of
(the fault
values are taken in substitution).
- Gearbox in back-up mode with an emergency programme (3rd hydraulic).
WARNING: In the emergency programme, an impact is felt when
changing P/R, N/R and N/D.
Réception client.
Discuss with the customer, to find out all the malfunction symptoms.
Oil quality - Oil level.
Oil quality.
If the gearbox has suffered a serious fault resulting in a malfunction or
the destruction of a clutch, the oil will overheat and become
contaminated with impurities: the oil is said to be «burnt».
This is characterised by a black colour and the presence of an
unpleasant smell.
ESSENTIAL: The gearbox must be replaced.Oil level
(see corresponding operation).
An excessive oil level can result in the following consequences:
- Excessive heating of the oil.
- Oil leaks.
An insufficent level causes the destruction of the gearbox.
Top up the level of oil in the gearbox
(if necessary).
Check using a diagnostic tool.
Read the fault codes
(engine and gearbox).
Absence of fault codes.
Carry out parameter measures, actuator tests and a road test.
Presence of fault codes.
Carry out the necessary repairs.
Delete the fault codes.
Carry out a road test to check the repair and, if need be, modify the
gearbox ECU parameters
(this is essential after an initialisation of the
ECU).
