NOTESPriority in the event of a number of faults:
Deal with fault DF020 Computer supply voltage first, if it is present or stored.
Notes:
This fault is present for as long as the computer assistance strategy is not configured.
It is automatically cleared after configuration.
This fault causes:
Degraded assistance (no message or warning light).
Check that the computer's configuration correctly corresponds to the vehicle type, engine type, gearbox and tyres
fitted on the vehicle.
Reconfigure the computer if necessary (see Configuration and programming).
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRClear the stored faults.
Check that the EPAS is working.
Deal with any other faults.

NOTESConditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
The fault is declared present after having started the engine and turned the steering
wheel from lock to lock, then returning it to the centre.
Notes:
This fault leads to degraded assistance with no warning light or message or an
assistance that is limited to 10% with the SERVICE indicator light + Message.
–Risk of ESP fault.
–The computer records an occurrence context (computer operating values frozen
when fault occurs). To view this information, click on the fault description (camera
symbol). Within these values, parameter PR143 Internal fault code gives the fault
finding procedure to apply.
Procedure to apply for internal fault codes 83 and 85 of PR143.
Only for Vdiag 05 and 09:
Check status ET020 Steering wheel angle programming which should be STATUS 4; if not, program the
steering wheel angle sensor VP004 Steering wheel angle programming (see Configuration and
programming).
If the fault is still present after the ignition has been switched on several times, contact the Techline.
Procedure to apply for internal fault codes 84 and 86 of PR143.
Contact Techline.
AFTER REPAIRClear the stored faults.
Check that the EPAS is working.
Deal with any other faults.

ENGINE OPERATION
NOTESSpecial note:
This signal comes from the injection computer and is transmitted to the Electric Power
Assisted Steering computer via the multiplex network.
STOPPED:The engine has not yet been started, or has been stopped normally with the starter
button.
STALLED:The engine has been stopped, but it stopped abnormally, without using the starter button.
This status may appear for a brief moment during a normal engine stop.
RUNNING:The engine is currently in operation.
STARTING:The engine is currently being activated by the starter.
If the status does not correspond to the actual operation of the engine, carry out fault finding on the multiplex
network (see 88B, Multiplexing) and on the injection (see 13B, Diesel injection and 17B, Petrol injection)
using the diagnostic tool.
AFTER REPAIRPerform a test using the diagnostic tool.

STEERING WHEEL ANGLE DRIFT COMPENSATION
NOTESNone.
This parameter shows the correction of the angle value, implemented automatically by the EPAS computer. When
driving, if the steering wheel angle in the straight-ahead driving position is not 0˚, this parameter varies (offset from
the steering wheel angle value).
If the value of the parameter is different to 0 d˚ (± 10 d˚), check the value of parameter PR121 Steering wheel
angle with straight wheels, if PR121 > ± 10 d˚ program the steering wheel angle using command VP004 Steering
wheel sensor programming (see Configuration and programming, section C).
If PR121 < ± 10 d˚ and the vehicle is fitted with ESP, place the vehicle on a geometry test bench (front axle test
bench).. Position the vehicle wheels in the straight line driving position (steering centre point).
Program the steering wheel angle using command VP004 Steering wheel angle sensor programming (see
Configuration and programming).
AFTER REPAIRPerform a test using the diagnostic tool.

STEERING WHEEL ANGLE
NOTESNone.
This parameter shows the steering wheel position in relation to the programmed zero (performed by command
VP004 "Steering wheel angle sensor programming").
This parameter is positive to the right and negative to the left.
If the angle remains at 3696˚, either:
–the steering wheel angle programming has not been carried out (ET020 Steering wheel angle programming
is STATUS 1 or STATUS 2),
–or the steering wheel is outside the range ± 120 d˚ (ET020 Steering wheel angle programming is STATUS 3),
when the APC is switched on, therefore the angle is valid; the angle is STATUS 4 only if the steering wheel is
within the range ± 120 d˚. As the sensor's coverage is not complete, it needs to come within this zone to detect
its position.
Thus, when the APC is switched on, if the steering wheel is not within the range ± 120 d˚ then the angle is invalid
(ET020 Steering wheel angle programming is STATUS 3). Simply rotating the steering wheel so that it is in the
± 120 d˚ range will allow a valid angle to be found (ET020 Steering wheel angle programming is STATUS 4),
when the EPAS is operating correctly,
–the sensor is faulty DF038 Angle sensor.
If the angle remains at 3696˚, with action on the steering wheel and status ET020 Steering wheel angle
programming is STATUS 4, contact the Techline.
If the parameter does not correspond to the values shown in the Conformity check, place the vehicle on a
geometry test bench (front axle bench). Position the vehicle wheels in the straight line driving position (steering
centre point).
Program the steering wheel angle using command VP004 Steering wheel angle sensor programming (see
Configuration and programming).
AFTER REPAIRPerform a test using the diagnostic tool.
