Fault finding - Replacement of components
Replacing the computer
When replacing the computer, apply the following procedure:
–switch off the ignition,
–replace the computer (see MR364 or MR370, Mechanical 38C, Anti-lock braking system, Hydraulic unit),
–enter the VIN using command VP001,
–configure the tachometric index using command VP007,
–enter the most recent After Sales operation date using command VP006;
–For Vdiag 0F: configure the vehicle parameters with command VP004 and configure the vehicle speed with
command VP032;
–perform a road test followed by a fault reading to confirm that the system is operating correctly.

Fault finding - Configurations and programming
Settings
VP001: Write VIN.
This command allows the vehicle identification number to be entered into the computer. Use this
command each time the computer is replaced. The VIN number (VF...) can be found on the
manufacturer's plate on the front right-hand door pillar and on the body panel under the left-hand side
of the windscreen.
VP004: Vehicle parameters.
This command is used to configure the engine type + braking definition + body type.
Select command VP004 on the diagnostic tool (it is imperative to check that the variants selected
correspond to the vehicle type).
VP006: Write date of the last After-Sales service.
Whenever the ABS system is worked on in the shop, the date must be entered.
Select command VP006 on the diagnostic tool.
Enter the operation date with the tool keyboard.
VP007: Tachometric index.
This command is used to program the computer memory with the index required to calculate vehicle
speed from the speed at which the wheels turn.
The BOSCH ABS 8.0 computer supplies the vehicle speed signal to all vehicle systems that use this
information (instrument panel, engine management, etc.). This vehicle speed signal replaces the one
supplied by the speed sensor located on the gearbox. The ABS computer calculates the vehicle speed
from the speed of the wheels and the circumference of the tyres fitted on the vehicle.
Note:
The vehicle speed is sent by wire (track 23) to the xenon bulb computer, radio and electric sunroof, and
via the multiplex network to the other computers.
The tyre circumference must be programmed into the memory of a new computer. This consists
of entering a number X using the VP007 "Tachometric index" command on the diagnostic tool.
Once the number has been entered using the VP007 command, delete the fault in the computer memory
and then switch off the ignition. Use the parameter PR030 to check that the index entered has been
stored correctly.
VP032: Vehicle speed at initialisation.
Vehicle speed transmitted via the multiplex network when the computer is initialised.
Select "Type 1" or "Type 2" according to the information supplied by the tool.

NOTESSpecial notes:
The fault is declared present during a road test at a speed of > 6 mph (10 km/h). The
computer signals an external supply fault.
Conditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
Apply the fault finding procedure whether the fault is present or stored.
Check the connections and the condition of the battery terminals.
Check the condition and position of the ABS fuses in the engine fuse and relay box.
Check the 50A power fuse in position 5 on the power fuse board.
Check the 25A fuse F13 on the UPC and the correct locking of the grey 4-track PPHI connector (Vdiag 44) or
the 25A fuse F8 on the UPC and the correct locking of the black 6-track CM connector (Vdiag 48).
Check the connection and condition of the tab 1 red wire of the grey connector.
Check the connections on the 26-track connector of the ABS computer.
Check the ABS earths on tracks 1 and 4 (attached under the ABS unit) and carry out an inspection of the entire
ABS wiring.
Check the continuity between the fuses and tracks 2 and 3 of the computer connector (+ Before ignition present
on the tracks) and between the UCH and track 18 of the computer (+ After ignition present on the track).
Clear the computer fault memory. Switch off the ignition.
Switch on the ignition again and carry out another check using the diagnostic tool.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRClear the computer fault memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.
