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.

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.

NOTESNone.
Check the vehicle battery voltage and the condition of the electric power-assisted steering connector.
Repair and check the charge circuit if necessary.
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, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRPerform a test using the diagnostic tool.

NOTESNone.
Check the conformity of the battery voltage and carry out fault finding on the charge circuit if necessary.
Check the condition and conformity of the ABS computer connector and its clips.
Check that the ABS computer has an electrical feed (see wiring diagram for the ABS fitted on the vehicle).
Disconnect the 8-track electric power assisted steering computer connector.
Check the condition and conformity of the connector and its clips.
Repair if necessary.
Carry out fault finding on the multiplex network, and repair if necessary.
Check the insulation, continuity and the absence of interference resistance on the following connections:
