Faults
Faults are declared either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain situation and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain but have not been diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is switched on
following + after ignition feed being activated (without any system components being active).
For a present fault, apply the procedure described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the instructions in the Notes section are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the
fault.
If the fault is not confirmed, check:
●the electrical lines which correspond to the fault,
●the connectors for these lines (for oxidation, bent pins, etc.),
●the resistance of the component detected as faulty,
●the condition of the wires (melted or split insulation, wear).
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool because the
data is inconsistent. Therefore, this phase makes it possible to:
●run fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer complaint,
●check that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault recurring after repairs.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for the statuses and the parameters and the conditions for checking
them.
If a status is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside the permitted tolerance values, consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Customer complaints - Fault finding chart
If the test with the diagnostic tool is OK but the customer complaint is still present, the fault should be treated by
Customer complaints.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the
form of a flow chart.

4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (continued)
Wiring check
Fault finding problems
Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring harness may temporarily remove the cause of a fault.
Electrical measurements of voltage, resistance and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is not
present when the analysis is made (stored fault).
Visual inspection
●look for damaged wiring under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.
●carefully check the fuses, insulation and the correct routing of the wiring.
●look for signs of oxidation.
Tactile inspection
While manipulating the wiring harness, use the diagnostic tool to note any change in fault status from stored to
present.
●Make sure that the connectors are properly locked.
●Apply light pressure to the connectors.
●Twist the wiring harness.
If there is a change in status, try to locate the source of the fault.
Inspection of each component
●disconnect the connectors and check the appearance of the clips and tabs, as well as the crimping (no
crimping on the insulating section).
●make sure that the clips and tabs are properly locked in the sockets.
●Check that no clips or tabs have been dislodged during connection.
●check the clip contact pressure using an appropriate model of tab.
Resistance check
●check the continuity of the entire lines, then section by section.
●look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12V or with another wire.
If a fault is detected, apply the associated fault finding procedure and repair or replace the wiring.
