STEERING MOTOR TORQUE SETPOINT
NOTESNone.
This parameter indicates the torque setpoint sent by the EPAS computer to the steering motor. It is positive when
the steering wheel is turned to the right and negative when it is turned to the left.
If the parameter is not in conformity with the values shown in the Conformity check, refer to the interpretation of
fault DF035 Variable power-assisted steering motor.

PR007
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.

PR013
CURRENT ABSORBED BY THE MOTOR
SETPOINT FOR CURRENT ABSORBED BY THE MOTOR
NOTESNone.
Parameter PR013 indicates the electrical power (strength) setpoint sent by the EPAS computer to the steering
motor as a function of the torque applied to the steering wheel.
Parameter PR012 indicates the electrical power actually consumed by the EPAS motors.
These two parameters are positive when the steering wheel is turned to the right and negative when turned to the
left.
The value of parameter PR013 Rated motor power should be almost equal to the value of parameter PR012
Power absorbed by the motor.
If the parameters are not in conformity with the values shown in the Conformity check, or if they are not equal,
refer to the interpretation of fault DF035 Variable power steering motor.

PR121
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).

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.

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.
