ET020
PROGRAMMING THE STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR
NOTESSpecial note:
–This status is declared correct when it is STATUS 4 (normal mode); in any other
case, apply this fault finding procedure.
–The SERVICE indicator light will come on if the steering wheel angle calibration has
not been carried out.
VARIOUS POSSIBLE STATUS VALUES (with the meaning):
STATUS 1:
–Straight ahead wheel position not programmed.
–Invalid angle value.
PROGRAMMING NOT COMPLETE.STATUS 3:
–Straight ahead wheel position not programmed.
–Invalid angle value.
–Steering wheel out of range ± 120˚ when after ignition
is switched on.
PROGRAMMING COMPLETE, ANGLE TO BE
CONFIRMED.
STATUS 2:
–Straight ahead wheel position not programmed.
–Invalid angle value.
PROGRAMMING NOT COMPLETE.STATUS 4:
–Straight ahead wheel position not programmed.
–Valid angle value.
PROGRAMMING COMPLETE.
STATUS 1 or STATUS 2
If the status is STATUS 1 or STATUS 2, program the steering wheel angle (see Configuration and
programming).
STATUS 3
If the status is STATUS 3, turn the steering wheel from right lock to left lock then slowly return it to slightly beyond
the centre point (PR135 "Column rotation speed" less than 200˚/s). The status should become STATUS 4.
Note:
A present or stored fault can impede STATUS 4 (carry out the necessary operations by referring to the Fault
Finding Manual).
AFTER REPAIRPerform a test using the diagnostic tool.

NOTESNone.
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
8-track connector track 7 track 6 Diagnostic socket
Repair if necessary.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRPerform a test using the diagnostic tool.

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.

NOTESNote :
This fault may arise if the vehicle speed multiplex signal is faulty or if the ignition is
switched off before the vehicle has come to a complete halt.
Check the vehicle battery voltage.
Check the charge circuit if necessary.
Check that parameter PR003 Vehicle speed is correct (see Conformity check).
Run a multiplex network test (see 88B, Multiplex).
Repair if necessary.
Carry out fault finding on the injection system (see 13B, Diesel injection and 17B, Petrol injection).
Repair if necessary.
Check the fuses for the electric power-assisted steering:
5A AP44 + after ignition fuse on the Protection and Switching Unit.
Repair if necessary.
Check the conformity of the + 12 after ignition feed for the computer:
Electric Power Assisted Steering Computer Connector:
8-track connector track 8+ After ignition
Repair if necessary.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.

stopped, with no warning
NOTESNote :
This fault may arise if the multiplex signal for the operating status of the engine is faulty
or after the ignition is switched off and quickly back on without the engine being started.
Ask the client if he does actually operate the vehicle incorrectly in this way before
applying this fault finding procedure. If necessary, explain correct operation to him.
Disconnect the 8-track connector from the EPAS computer.
Check the condition and conformity of the connector and its clips.
Repair if necessary.
Check the insulation, continuity and the absence of interference resistance on the following connections:

Check the consistency of status ET023 Engine operation by comparison with the actual status of the engine.
If the status is not correct, carry out fault finding on the multiplex network (see 88B, Multiplexing) and the injection
(see 13B, Diesel injection and 17B, Petrol injection).
Repair if necessary.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRPerform a test using the diagnostic tool.
