NOTESConditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
The fault is declared present after a steering wheel movement from full lock to full lock
or a road test.
Check that:
–there is a + 12 V before ignition feed on track 1 of the electric power steering black 2-track connector,
–there is an earth on track 2 of the electric power steering black 2-track connector,
–there is a + 12 V after ignition feed on track 8 of the steering column assembly black 8-track connector.
If there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for
repair), repair the wiring, otherwise change the wiring.
Program the steering wheel angle sensor using command VP004 Steering wheel angle sensor programming.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a road test followed by a complete test with the diagnostic tool.

PROGRAMMING THE STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR
NOTESSpecial notes:
–The status is declared as correct when it is STATUS 4 (nominal mode). Otherwise,
apply this fault finding procedure.
–An unprogrammed steering wheel angle sensor will cause the Service warning light
to come on.
–If the steering wheel angle sensor has never been programmed, the Service warning
light will flash rapidly until the index position is detected.
VARIOUS POSSIBLE STATUS VALUES (with the meaning):
STATUS 1–Steering wheel index not detected.
–Straight ahead wheel position not programmed.
–Invalid angle value.
–NOT PROGRAMMED: Program the steering wheel angle sensor.
STATUS 2–Steering wheel index detected.
–Straight ahead wheel position not programmed.
–Invalid angle value.
–NOT PROGRAMMED: Program the steering wheel angle sensor.
STATUS 3–Steering wheel index not detected.
–Straight ahead wheel position not programmed.
–Invalid angle value.
–PROGRAMMING DONE, CONFIRM ANGLE: Turn the steering wheel to right full lock, and then
left full lock; then slowly return to the centre point and go slightly beyond.
STATUS 4–Straight ahead wheel position not programmed.
–Valid angle value.
–PROGRAMMING COMPLETE
Note:
A present or stored fault may prevent the change to STATUS 4.
AFTER REPAIRRun a system fault check.
Repeat the conformity check.

STATUS 1 OR STATUS 2
If the status is STATUS 1 or STATUS 2, program the steering wheel angle sensor (see Configurations and
programming).
STATUS 3
If the status is STATUS 3, turn the steering wheel to right full lock, and then left full lock; then slowly return to the
centre point and go slightly beyond.
Status ET020 should become STATUS 4.
Note:
A present or stored fault can impede STATUS 4 (make the necessary repairs, consulting the fault finding manual).
After the battery is disconnected, status ET020 is STATUS 3 and PR121 Steering wheel angle remains 0.
Consult the Replacement of components section for the procedure to follow after disconnecting the battery.
AFTER REPAIRRun a system fault check.
Repeat the conformity check.

PR119
MOTOR THERMAL PROTECTION INDICATOR
NOTESNone
The computer and assistance motor are both thermally protected. When the critical temperature is reached, the
power-assisted steering computer limits the assistance to 15 %.
This critical temperature may vary with the operation and forces applied to the steering column.
If the temperature exceeds 60 ˚C, do not operate the steering for 15 minutes, to allow the temperature to drop.
A search must be made to identify the cause of the temperature rise. It may arise from:
–an environment causing a temperature rise,
–abnormal use by the driver.
Note:
If the steering wheel is kept at full lock for over 5 seconds, the assistance will drop to 15 %, although the
temperature does not exceed 60˚.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a road test, followed by a check with the diagnostic tool.
