To cut off + after ignition, proceed as follows:
–Disconnect the diagnostic tool.
–Press the Start button twice briefly (less than 3 seconds),
–See that the + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer warning lights on the
instrument panel have gone out.
Faults
The current status of faults must be considered when the diagnostic tool is used following switching to + after
ignition (with no action on the system components).
For a present fault, handle the fault according to the procedure listed in the section on Interpretation of faults in
Workshop Repair Manual 372 Section 87B Passenger compartment connection unit.
There is no stored fault on the tyre pressure monitor.
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check statuses and parameters that do not produce a fault display on the
diagnostic tool when they are 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 features the fault finding procedure for statuses and parameters, and the conditions for checking them.
If a status is not operating normally or a parameter is outside permitted tolerance values, you should consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Customer complaints - Fault finding chart
If the check using the diagnostic tool is satisfactory but the customer complaint is still present, the fault should be
treated as a customer complaint.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following page
in the form of a flow chart.

Fault finding - System operation
SYSTEM COMPOSITION
The tyre pressure monitor system consists of the following components:
–four sensors (one on each wheel but not on the emergency spare wheel)
–a computer (UCH)
–a receiver aerial (17-cm bare wire connected to the UCH)
–an instrument panel display for the driver
In addition to these components, the PAX system is comprised of four special tyres with a support ring to allow flat
tyre driving following a puncture over a maximum distance of 120 miles (200 km), at a maximum speed of 48 mph
(80 km/h).
WARNING
It is forbidden to install PAX System tyres on a vehicle without PAX System tyres as standard.

System operation:
–The valves are activated after driving at a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
–During driving, the valves emit signals every minute.
–The valves remain active for 15 minutes after the vehicle stops, then switch to standby mode.
–In standby mode, the valves emit signals only if they detect a pressure difference between two successive
measurements greater than 68 mbar or if the pressure difference since last emitting is greater than 68 mbar (due
to tyre cooling).
–The tyres are considered to be cold when the vehicle speed has been zero for 1h 45 min.
–The minimum time for detection of a leak is approximately 15 minutes.
–The message Pressure unsuitable for the speed is activated only if the vehicle travels at more than 102 mph
(170 km/h) (as an indication) for 3 minutes and the pressure on at least one of the tyres is 400 mbar less than the
recommended pressure at low speed. This message is inactive if the tyres are inflated to motorway pressure,
irrespective of the vehicle speed.
–Alert thresholds:
–over-inflated while cold =recommended pressure + 700 mbar
–over-inflated while warm = recommended pressure + 850 mbar
–under-inflated = recommended pressure - 400 mbar
–very under-inflated = recommended pressure - 600 mbar
–imbalance = difference in pressure between the left-hand and right-hand wheels on the same axle greater
than 500 mbar
–Tyre pressure monitor information messages for the driver:
–"PUNCTURE: CHANGE TYRE" + STOP warning light + highlighting of the wheel concerned on the
instrument panel display + buzzer.
–"ADJUST TYRE PRESSURE" + highlighting of the wheel concerned on the instrument panel.
–"INFLATE TYRES MOTORWAY" + highlighting of all four wheels on the instrument panel.
–"TYRE SENSOR INOPERATIVE" + clearing of the wheel concerned.
–"ELECTRONIC FAULT" + "Service" warning light + the wheels concerned disappear from the
instrument panel.
–Tyre pressure monitor information messages for a puncture with the PAX System:
–"PUNCTURE: REPAIR TYRE" + highlighting of the wheel concerned on the instrument panel.
–"PUNCTURE: SLOW DOWN" + buzzer (if vehicle speed > 48 mph (80 km/h)).
–"DRIVING WITH FLAT: X MILES REMAINING" (X decreases from 120 miles (200 km) to 0) + STOP
warning light when X = 0 + highlighting of the wheel concerned on the instrument panel.
⇒
No instrument panel display of tyre pressure on the SCENIC II.

REPLACING THE UCH COMPUTER
Switch off the ignition before replacing the UCH.
Following replacement of the UCH, configure the new computer according to the equipment and options present on
the vehicle.
Configure the UCH: WITH or WITHOUT the function for the Tyre pressure monitor using command CF023 Tyre
pressure monitor function located in scenario SC008 UCH Type.
WITH or WITHOUT PAX System type tyres using command CF016 PAX System type tyres.
Enter the recommended pressures using command VP005 Enter recommended pressures
Program the codes for the four valves using command SC002 Programming the four valve codes.
The configuration is described in the Configuration and programming section.
For the other configurations of this computer, see the section on UCH
REPLACING ONE OR MORE VALVE(S)
Program the UCH with the code for the new valve using command SC002 Program four valve codes (see
Configurations and programming).
REPLACING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
After replacing the instrument panel, configure it according to the equipment present on the vehicle.
In the instrument panel, configure the tyre pressure monitor function WITH, WITHOUT or WITH PAX using
command CF145 Tyre pressure monitor. This configuration is described in the Instrument panel specifications
section of this MR (see 83A, Instrument panel). Note:
Program the codes for all four sensors even if only one valve has been replaced.
