COMMAND (continued)
SPECIAL COMMANDSAC195:Vehicle speed signal.
This command sends a speed other than 0 mph on the computer's vehicle speed wire output
(Track 33) to users of that signal (xenon bulbs, radio, sunroof).
Note:
This command has no visible effect on the dashboard speedometer needle.
Xenon bulbs: Switch on the dipped headlights and run command AC195. You should see a slight
change in the height of the headlight beam (depending on vehicle speed, the height of the beam is
adjusted to improve visibility).
–Radio: switch on the radio and check that the speed-dependent volume control function is active.
Run command AC195. During the command, you should notice the volume of the sound increase
and then decrease.
–Sunroof: this command has no visible effect on the sunroof. This command changes the activation
threshold of the anti-pinch system (the pressure exerted by the sunroof varies with vehicle speed
due to aerodynamic factors).
AC196:Request to switch on hazard warning lights.
This command sends the UCH a request to switch on the hazard warning lights to test their operation
during emergency braking (depending on UCH configuration).
SC001: Check target teeth.
This command tests the condition of the teeth on each wheel. Select command SC001 Test target
teeth. The test result should show 48 teeth.
SC006: Bleed the hydraulic unit and brake circuits.
Use this command if abnormally long brake pedal travel is noted during a road test with ABS control
(the system must have been bled beforehand by the usual procedure).
Select the SC006 "Bleed hydraulic unit and brake circuit" command and follow the instructions
given by the diagnostic tool.

ALP 2 Locking of one or more wheels
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
Reminder: wheel lock on a vehicle equipped with ABS, or tyre squealing perceived by the customer as locking,
may be part of the normal operation of the system and should not be automatically considered as faults:
–Braking with ABS on very poor roads (significant squealing).
However, if the wheels are actually locking, raise the vehicle in order to be able to turn the wheels and check:
–Possible inversion when connecting the speed sensors.
Using parameters PR001, PR002, PR003 and PR004, rotate the wheels slowly and check the consistency of the
results obtained.
If the value measured is zero, rotate the other wheels to confirm an electrical inversion of the sensors and repair
the wiring harness.
–Possible inversion of pipes on the hydraulic unit.
Use commands AC003 Front left-hand wheel solenoid valves, AC004 Front right-hand wheel solenoid
valves, AC005 Rear left-hand wheel solenoid valves and AC006 Rear right-hand wheel solenoid valves
while depressing the brake pedal and check for the occurrence of 5 locking/unlocking cycles on the wheel
concerned (see Dealing with commands). If the 5 cycles do not occur on the wheel tested (wheel remains
locked), check whether they occur on another wheel to confirm transposed pipes.
If the 5 cycles are not detected on a wheel and the pipes have not been subject to inversion, replace the hydraulic
unit.
Check that the sensor casing is secured when rotating.
Check the quality of the mounting of the wheel speed sensor (correct clipping without excessive play).
Check the conformity of the targets using special command SC001 "Check target teeth": condition, number of
teeth = 48.
If the fault is still present after these checks, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRClear the computer fault memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.

ALP 3 Pull
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
Disconnect one wheel speed sensor. Start the
engine and check that only the ABS fault warning
light comes on. Do not drive the vehicle if the brake
fault warning light is also lit, as the brake limiter
function is no longer guaranteed to operate
correctly. Carry out a road test with the ABS
deactivated.
Is the fault still present under these conditions?
no
Raise the vehicle so that you can rotate the wheels
and check:
–Possible inversion when connecting the speed
sensors.
–Possible inversion of pipes on the hydraulic unit.
To carry out these two tests, refer to and follow the
procedures given in ALP 2.
Check the condition of the ABS targets and that they
conform to specifications.
Also check the sensor/target air gap over one
revolution of each front and rear wheel.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
yesIf the brake pedal travel is relatively long,
bleed the brake circuit.
If the travel is normal, check the tyre
pressures, the front axle, or for any leaks
in the circuit.
AFTER REPAIRClear the computer fault memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.

no
Normal behaviour linked to the system operation
during the regulation phase, mainly on surfaces with
uneven grip or which are poorly laid.
yesRoad handling fault not connected with
the ABS.
Check the condition of the brake linings
and that they are to specification and
check the tyre pressures, the front axle,
etc.
AFTER REPAIRClear the computer fault memory.

ALP 5Unexpected ABS operation at low speed and with slight
pedal pressure
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
Important: ABS regulation may be unresponsive when the vehicle is driven on surfaces
such as icy roads, cobbled streets, etc.
It is possible to feel brake pedal vibrations which are associated with the reaction of the system in particular
circumstances, such as:
–crossing rumble strips,
–tight cornering with lifting of the inside rear wheel.
These vibrations may be linked to simple brake limiter activation, when the pressure on the rear axle is limited.
If the fault is different, check the speed sensor connectors (micro-breaks) as well as the air gaps.
AFTER REPAIRClear the computer fault memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.

ALP 11 Noise from the pump, pipes or hydraulic unit
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
–Vibration of the unit: check the presence and the condition of the unit bracket insulating rubber mounting
bushes.
–Vibration of pipes: check that all the pipes are securely clipped in their retaining clips and that there is no
contact between pipes or between pipes and bodywork.
To determine where the noise is coming from, use the front left-hand wheel solenoid valves, front right-hand wheel
solenoid valves, rear left-hand wheel solenoid valves and rear right-hand wheel solenoid valves control
commands while depressing the brake pedal.
AFTER REPAIRClear the computer fault memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.

NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic
tool.
Check that the four tyres on the vehicle are identical.
Using the diagnostic tool, you must ensure that the value of configuration PR063 "Vehicle parameters"
matches the definition of the vehicle undergoing diagnostics.
If necessary, run command VP004 Vehicle parameters using the diagnostic tool to define the appropriate
parameters for the vehicle type.
Check the connection and condition of the combined sensor connector.
Check that the orientation of the combined sensor on the body is correct and that it is correctly mounted.
Calibrate the steering wheel angle in the Electric power-assisted steering domain using the diagnostic tool.
Clear the computer's fault memory and clear the ESP sensor programming (Vdiag 09, 0A, 0B, 12 and 11) with
command RZ003 "ESP sensor programming".
