FAULTY COMPUTER
NOTES–Make sure the computers installed in the vehicle are the correct type and are
compatible with the Scénic II ph2.
–Check the power supply of the computers (earth, + battery, + accessories or + after
ignition).
Make sure that the computer wake-up mode is in full working order on the vehicle and properly assimilated by the
computers.
The wake-up mode is:
–timed power supply: UCH, instrument panel.
–+ accessories feed: Protection and Switching Unit, Heating and Air Conditioning System, Central
Communication Unit.
–+ After ignition feed: Injection, ABS/ESP, airbag, Electric Power-Assisted Steering, Automatic
Transmission, LPG/Natural Gas Fuel, Steering column lock, Driving School Unit, Automatic Parking
Brake, Parking Distance Control.
–+ After ignition + dipped headlights: Xenon bulbs.
IMPORTANT
Only establish dialogue with the discharge bulbs with + after ignition and the dipped headlights on.
–Switch to computer diagnostics mode.
Attempt to establish dialogue with computers.
●No dialogue from computers to diagnostic tool: see ALP 1
No dialogue with the computer or computers not communicating with the diagnostic tool.
Check the connections to the computers and that there are no open circuits.
If there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, wiring:
precautions for repairs), repair the connectors, otherwise change them.
●The computers only produce partial information when identified:
Check in the MR or World Vehicle Database to see that the computer really is compatible with the
Scénic II ph2.
Make sure the CLIP diagnostic tool update is recent enough to handle Scénic II ph2 faults.
If after these tests no faults or open or short circuits have been detected, contact your Techline.
AFTER REPAIRRun the multiplex network test again using the diagnostic tool.
Clear the stored faults on all the computers connected to the network.
Deal with any other faults.

ALP 2No topology diagram or configuration table display at the end of
the multiplex network test
The topology cannot be displayed under the following conditions:
1. The two computers storing the multiplex network configuration have failed to respond.
2. The multiplex network is not operational, therefore dialogue is impossible.
3. The two computers storing the multiplex network configuration do not have the same configurations.
4. On the multiplex network tab on the configuration screen, an incorrect network version number has been
entered on one of the two computers storing the network configuration.
5. No network version has been entered on the two computers that store the configuration.
1 – The two computers storing the multiplex network configuration have failed to respond.
Check first that the computers storing the configuration (Airbag and UCH) are correctly supplied (earth,
+ battery, + accessories or + after ignition).
Check the condition of the multiplex network and the continuity and insulation of the multiplex line H and
multiplex line L lines between the computers storing the configuration.
2 – The multiplex network is not operational, therefore dialogue is impossible (see Network not
operational fault).
3 – The two computers that store the multiplex network configuration do not have the same configurations
(see Network configurations configuration).
4 – On the multiplex network tab on the configuration screen, an incorrect network version has been
entered on one of the two computers storing the network configuration (see Network configurations
configuration).
5 – No diagram version has been entered into the two calculators that store the configuration (see Network
configurations configuration).

ALP 3Configuration table display at the end of the
multiplex network test
NOTESALP to use if the tool loads the configuration screen at the end of the multiplex network
test.
The configuration chart is always accessible through the Configuration icon.
Update the vehicle configuration then run the multiplex network test again.
Check that the two tabs are consistent before running the test again.
The CLIP diagnostic tool loads the configuration screen directly under the following conditions:
●MULTIPLEX NETWORK tab
–Inconsistency between the network version numbers entered into the two computers that store the
multiplex network configuration. If the numbers are inconsistent, the following error message is
displayed when the multiplex network test is being run: Inconsistent configuration of computers
supporting fault finding: check configuration before rerunning test.
–Inconsistent list of computers entered into the computers that store the multiplex network configuration.
–The diagram version number is incorrect for at least one of the two computers that store the multiplex
network configuration (see the Network configurations configuration).
–In this instance, the following message is displayed when the multiplex network test is being run:
Unknown vehicle configuration: check tool update.
–One of the two computers that store the network version is blank (case of replaced airbag or UCH
computer).
●COMPUTERS SUPPORTING FAULT FINDING tab
–Inconsistent diagram numbers entered into the two computers that store the configuration.
–Inconsistency in the list of computers that can support fault finding entered into the two computers that
store the list of computers that can support fault finding.
–Inconsistency between the list of computers entered and the computers actually detected on the
vehicle. Some computers are entered as absent in the computer that stores the network configuration
even though they are present on the vehicle (see the Multiplex network configurations
configuration). In this instance, the following error message is displayed when the multiplex network
test is being run: Some computers respond to the diagnostic tool even if they are not listed in the
computer configuration.
