To cut off the + after ignition feed, proceed as follows:
–disconnect the diagnostic tool,
–press the start button briefly 2 times (less than 3 seconds),
–confirm that the forced + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer indicator lights on the
instrument panel have gone out.
Faults
Faults are declared as either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but have not been diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used following
the + after ignition supply being switched on (without acting on the system components).
For a present fault, apply the procedure described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the instructions in the Notes section are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the fault
If the fault is not confirmed, check:
–the electrical lines which correspond to the fault,
–the connectors on these lines (corrosion, bent pins, etc.),
–the resistance of the component detected as faulty,
–the condition of the wires (melted or cut insulation, wear).
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool when
inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
–carry out fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer
complaint.
–check that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault recurring after repairs.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for statuses and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a status is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside the permitted tolerance values, consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Customer complaints - Fault finding chart
If the test with the diagnostic tool is OK but the customer complaint is still present, the fault should be processed by
customer complaint.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the form of a flow chart.

SYSTEM OPERATION
On this vehicle, the steering system is power-assisted by an electric motor (mounted on the steering column). The
driver's actions are translated by a torque sensor, which measures the force applied to the steering wheel by the
driver, and by an angle measuring sensor. The steering wheel angle signal is used by the electronic stability program
computer for the trajectory control programming.
Assistance is provided by means of an electric motor which applies an appropriate torque to the steering column, in
one direction or the other.
A computer controls this assistance according to several vehicle environment parameters, including the vehicle
speed.
NOTE
Depending on the operating conditions and the operations performed on the vehicle before switching on the ignition,
the assistance system may take a certain time to be activated after engine starting; this also applies after battery cut-
off or switching off the ignition.
Fault finding warning lights illumination programming:
Slow flashing of the Service warning light at 2 Hz: the electric power steering system is in fault finding mode.
Rapid flashing of the Service warning light at 8 Hz accompanied by the Check steering message: the steering
wheel angle sensor is not calibrated and not indexed.
Service warning light continuously lit with Check steering displayed on instrument panel: signal received by the
EPAS computer.
–assistance equal to that provided at a speed of 24 mph (40 km/h) if vehicle speed signal is absent or incorrect,
–angle sensor signal invalid: steering wheel angle sensor not calibrated (no active recall).
STOP warning light continuously lit with steering defective displayed on the instrument panel: fault in the EPAS
system.
If the fault is still present after repair, contact the Techline.
Angle sensor programming (initialisation)
The steering wheel angle sensor is initialised after the ignition is switched on. The sensor is not initialised until the
steering wheel has gone through a quarter turn left or right. If this turn is not carried out, the steering wheel angle
value reading will be 1.2 degrees higher or lower than the actual value.
Check consistency of ET020 Steering wheel angle sensor programming. Note:
If the computer detects a fault, the level of assistance can be modified depending on how serious the fault is.
An incorrect or absent vehicle speed signal results in fixed, unsatisfactory assistance.

Fault finding - Configurations and programming
VP004: STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR PROGRAMMING
NOTESThis programming procedure is performed after replacing the EPAS computer.
WARNING
Programming the steering wheel angle sensor means programming the 0 angle (wheels straight ahead position).
It must be done for any blank computer, and every time it is requested in this note.
The absence of or incorrect programming of this sensor will illuminate the Service warning light and create an
Electronic Stability Program fault.
OPERATIONS TO PERFORM BEFORE PROGRAMMING
–With the ignition on or engine running (to obtain maximum steering assistance), turn the steering wheel to full
left lock and then to full right lock,
–position the vehicle with the wheels straight ahead and the steering at the centre point (driving in a straight line),
–run the command by pressing the CONFIRM button,
–while the COMMAND IN PROGRESS message is displayed, turn the steering wheel a quarter of a turn from left
to right.
–Once the COMMAND COMPLETE message is displayed, exit fault finding mode (close dialogue with the
computer without switching off the tool) and then switch off the vehicle's ignition for 15 seconds minimum for
the programming to be registered.
Note:
To obtain a precise position with the wheels set straight ahead (driving in a straight line), this operation must be
performed on a front axle adjustment bench (especially for vehicles fitted with ESP).
OPERATIONS TO PERFORM AFTER PROGRAMMING
–Switch on the ignition and establish dialogue with the EPAS computer,
–turn the steering wheel to full left lock and then to full right lock,
–check that the programming has been properly registered: ET020 Steering wheel angle sensor programming
should be STATUS 4,
–check the conformity of the angle value by consulting parameter PR121 Steering wheel angle,
–check that there are no faults,
–carry out the necessary repairs, consulting the fault finding manual.
IMPORTANT
If the vehicle is fitted with ESP, establish dialogue with the ABS/ESP computer after the operation; if the function
is available (depending on computer version) clear the ESP sensor programming using command RZ003.
Make sure there are no ESP faults: make the necessary repairs, consulting the fault finding manual.

–The diameter of the vehicle wheel rims:
–The vehicle engine type and gearbox type:
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:
–Connect the diagnostic tool and select EPAS,
–select command SC001 Computer calibration,
–configure the computer in line with the vehicle definition,
–exit fault finding mode without switching off the tool (close the application only),
–switch off the ignition,
–wait 15 seconds for the end of power-Iatch then restart,
–make sure that the configuration reading corresponds to the desired calibration:
LC005 or ET026 Computer calibration.
