Special features for English versions
The newly supplied instrument panel is configured, by default, in kilometres.
In addition to the language configuration CF002 Language setting, carry out the calculation below to allow
the instrument panel to display consistent values between the distance before next oil change and the
desired oil change frequency.
To display the oil change frequency in miles, multiply the value in miles indicated in the Maintenance
booklet by 10 then divide by 6, to find the exact figure in kilometres.
After the value has been entered, the computer automatically performs the conversion into miles for the
oil service interval.
It is imperative to use the following procedure for correct functioning of the range and oil change
frequency.
Example: 18,000 miles x 10 = 180 000 miles, then divide by 6 = 30,000 km (Enter 30)
Check by reading parameter PR005 Oil change frequency in km.
A) Program the distance to next oil service in kilometres using command VP008 Distance to next oil
service: current value in KM.
Check by reading parameter PR007 Distance to next oil service: current value in KM.
B) Program the oil change frequency in months using command VP007 Oil change frequency in
months.
Check by reading parameter PR006 Oil change frequency in months.
C)Program the oil service interval in months using command VP009 Oil service interval: actual value in
months.
Check by reading parameter PR008 Oil service interval: actual value in months.
D) Program the fuel sender using command VP011 Fuel sender calibration.
There are 2 pieces of information to provide:
–Type of fuel (check by reading configuration LC049).
–Fuel level indicator:
–analogue (needle display),
–digital (bargraph display).

NOTESConditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
The fault is declared present after 60 seconds, with the ignition on.
Special notes:
Check the consistency between the instrument panel display and parameter PR035
Fuel level.
CO
NOTESSpecial note:
The fault is declared present if the fuel sender resistance is
greater than 350 Ω.
Manipulate the wiring harness between the instrument panel and the fuel sender in order to produce a change in
fault status (Present → Stored).
Look for possible damage to the harness, and check the connection and condition of the fuel sender and its
connections.
If there is a repair method (see Technical note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for
repair) repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Check the continuity of the following connections:
Fuel sender track 2 track 15, Grey instrument panel connector
Fuel sender track 4 track 2, Grey instrument panel connector
If there is a repair method (see Technical note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for
repair) repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Measure the resistance between tracks 4 and 2 of the fuel sender.
Replace the fuel sender if the resistance value is not: 290 Ω fuel tank in reserve
54 Ω fuel tank full
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any faults declared by the diagnostic tool.
Clear the computer memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.

NOTESThe fault is declared present if the fuel sender resistance is
less than 5 Ω.
Manipulate the wiring harness between the instrument panel and the fuel sender in order to produce a change in
fault status (Present → Stored).
Look for possible damage to the harness, and check the connection and condition of the fuel sender and its
connections.
If there is a repair method (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for
repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Disconnect the fuel sender connector and check for a change in fault status.
If the fault remains in short circuit, check the insulation and continuity of the following connections, with the
connector disconnected:
Fuel sender connector track 2 track 15, Grey instrument panel connector
Fuel sender connector track 4 track 2, Grey instrument panel connector
If there is a repair method (see Technical note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for
repair) repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
If the fault becomes an open circuit fault, move to the next step of the fault finding.
Measure the resistance between tracks 4 and 2 of the fuel sender.
Replace the fuel sender if the resistance value is not: 290 Ω fuel tank in reserve
54 Ω fuel tank full
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any faults displayed by the diagnostic tool.
Clear the computer memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.
