Procedure to apply for internal fault codes 192, 193 and 194 of PR143.
Check the fault occurrence context for internal fault codes 193 and 194. If PR108 Computer supply voltage
is less than 10 V, the fault is due to a battery undervoltage.
Check the vehicle battery voltage.
Check the tightness and the condition of the battery terminals.
Check the charge circuit if necessary.
Check the condition of the 3 white EPAS connectors and check that they are locked correctly.
In the event of a fault, check the insulation, continuity and the absence of interference resistance on the
following connection:
2-track connector track 1 + 12 V before ignition feed
Repair if necessary.
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.

PRESENT
OR
STOREDTORQUE SENSOR
DEF: Sensor internal electronic fault
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 causes:
Loss or absence of steering assistance with STOP warning light + Message
lighting up.
–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.
If, in the fault occurrence context (computer operating values frozen when fault
occurs) PR108 Computer supply voltage is less than 10 V, check the battery
voltage, the tightness and the condition of the battery terminals and check the
charging circuit.
Procedure to apply for internal fault codes 1 and 69 of PR143.
Contact Techline.
Procedure to apply for internal fault codes 48, 66, 64, 65 and 67 of PR143.
Check the condition of the 3 white EPAS connectors and check that they are locked correctly.
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.

Run fault finding on the multiplex network.
Check the voltage of the vehicle battery (the EPAS system only reacts between 10 V and 18 V).
Repair if necessary.
Try the diagnostic tool on another vehicle.
Check:
–the connection between the diagnostic tool and the diagnostic probe (lead in good condition),
–the connection between the diagnostic sensor and the diagnostic socket (lead in good condition).
Check the condition of the EPAS fuses and their contacts:
80A BP81 Power fuse in the engine fuse box.
5A AP44 + after ignition fuse on the UPC.
Check for the presence of + 12 V battery feed on track 16, and + 12 V after ignition feed on track 1 and an earth
on track 5 and on track 4 of the diagnostic socket.
Repair if necessary.
Disconnect the two EPAS computer connectors.
Check the condition and conformity of the connectors and their clips.
Check the conformity of the electrical supplies (they must be equal to the battery voltage).
Electric Power Assisted Steering Computer Connector:
2-track connector track 1+ battery feed
2-track connector track 2Earth
8-track connector track 8+ After ignition
Repair if necessary.
Check the insulation, continuity and the absence of interference resistance on the wiring harness between
the diagnostic socket and the Electric Power Assisted Steering computer connector.
Electric Power Assisted Steering Computer Connector:
8-track connector track 5 track 14 Diagnostic socket

ALP2 Loss of vehicle assistance without warning
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
The vehicle is no longer assisted if the Electric Power Steering fuse is damaged or supply is lost. The steering is
equivalent to manual steering, manoeuvrable when driving even at low speeds, but very difficult to manoeuvre
when stopped.
Since it is no longer being supplied, the EPAS computer is not capable of lighting the warning light, but the
instrument panel lights the STOP warning light + Message 4 seconds after the loss of the feed causing the loss
of assistance.
The driver will only become aware of the fault through noticing the loss of assistance at the steering wheel.
Check the fuses for the electric power-assisted steering:
Power fuse 80A BP81 in the engine fuse box.
5A AP44 + after ignition fuse on the UPC.
Check the condition of the electric power-assisted steering connectors and repair if necessary.
Check that the electrical feeds to the computer are correct:
2-track connector track 2vehicle earth
2-track connector track 1+ battery feed
8-track connector track 8+ after ignition feed
Repair if necessary.
Check the insulation, continuity and the absence of interference resistance on the connections between the electric
power-assisted steering computer and the instrument panel.
8-track connector track 6 track 30 of the instrument panel
8-track connector track 4 track 29 of the instrument panel
Check that the steering column and steering rack are in sound mechanical condition.
Repair if necessary.
Make sure that the front axle components, such as the track rod ends and shock absorber base plates, are in sound
mechanical condition.
Repair if necessary.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRPerform a test using the diagnostic tool.

Check the status and presence of the Electric Power Steering system power supply fuse.
Repair if necessary.
Check the insulation, continuity and absence of interference resistance on the wiring harness between the
battery and the 2-track EPAS connector.
Repair if necessary.
Check that status ET026 Computer calibration corresponds to the vehicle equipment.

ALP4The steering wheel does not return by itself to the centre at low
speed: steering wheel return to centre point inactive
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
Check that the casing under the steering wheel does not rub on the steering column or steering wheel.
Check the pressure and condition of the tyres, the condition of the joints and the front axle geometry.
Check the vehicle battery voltage.
Check the charge circuit if necessary.
Refer to status ET020 Steering wheel angle sensor programming, which must be STATUS 4.
Position the vehicle wheels in the straight line driving position (steering centre point).
Refer to parameters PR121 Steering wheel angle which must be in the range - 10 d˚ < X < 10 d˚ and PR007
Steering wheel angle offset compensation which must be in the range - 10 d˚ < X < 10 d˚.
Turn the steering wheel to full right lock then to full left lock, and check that the parameter varies within the
tolerances given in the "Conformity check".
If parameters PR121, PR007 and status ET020 listed above are not in conformity:
Place the vehicle on a front axle adjusting 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).
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRPerform a test using the diagnostic tool.

ALP6 Too little assistance
NOTESNote :
With the steering wheel on full lock, assistance is reduced after 0.5 seconds.
Check the pressure and condition of the tyres, the condition of the joints and the front axle geometry.
Check the vehicle battery voltage.
Check the charge circuit if necessary.
Do not operate the EPAS for at least 1 hour.
Check that parameters PR008 Computer temperature, PR009 Steering motor temperature and PR014
Assistance level available are correct (see Conformity check).
Make sure that no component located in the vicinity of the electric power-assisted steering system causes an
abnormal temperature rise in the system.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
Note:
After the steering system has been heated a number of times, the EPAS limits assistance itself to protect its
electrical components.
It is normal for the system to do this.
AFTER REPAIRPerform a test using the diagnostic tool.
