Function concerned: UCHName of computer: UCH
Vdiag No.: 44, 48, 4C, 4D, 4F, 50.
Special tooling required
Multimeter

Switch on the forced + after ignition feed:
–with the vehicle card in the card reader,
–press and hold start button (longer than 5 seconds) with start-up conditions not fulfilled,
–connect the diagnostic tool and perform the required operations.
Switching off the forced + after ignition feed:
Press the Start button twice briefly (less than 3 seconds).
ensure that the + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer indicator lights on the instrument

Faults
Faults are declared present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but are not diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used after the
forced + after ignition feed is switched on (without acting on the system components).
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 instructions in 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 electric lines on which there is a fault;
–The connectors on those lines (corrosion, bent pins, etc.);
–The resistance of the faulty component;
–The condition of the wires (insulation melted or split, chafing, etc.).
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 stage is used to:
–carry out 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 statuses and 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 processed 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 damage under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.
Carefully check the fuses, insulators and wiring harness routing.
Look for signs of oxidation.
Physical 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.
Continuity, insulation and resistance check
Check the continuity of entire lines, then section by section.
Look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12 V or with another wire.
If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring harness.

5. FAULT FINDING LOG
You will always be asked for this log:
–when requesting technical assistance from Techline,
–for approval requests when replacing parts for which approval is mandatory,
–to be attached to monitored parts for which reimbursement is requested. The log is needed for warranty
reimbursement, and enables better analysis of the parts removed.
6. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any damage or injury:
–check the battery voltage to avoid incorrect operation of computer functions,
–use the proper tools.
Procedure for disconnecting the battery:
–Switch off the ignition.
–Switch off all the electrical consumers. Wait at least 1 minute for the electronic systems to switch off.
Disconnect the battery, starting with the negative terminal.IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system requires thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools. The
FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the procedure, enables you to keep
track of the procedure which is carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the
manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE ESSENTIAL THAT THE FAULT FINDING LOG IS FILLED OUT EVERY TIME IT IS
REQUESTED BY TECHLINE OR THE WARRANTY RETURNS DEPARTMENT.

General operation:
The UCH is involved in the following five functions (shared between several computers):
1/ Access-safety function
This function is divided into three sub-functions: Access, Protection and Starting.
2/ Air-conditioning function
This function is divided into three sub-functions, which are: User selection, Heating and Cold loop (see: 62A, Air
conditioning).
In this function, the UCH manages the triggering of the passenger compartment heating resistor control relays, as
well as the heated rear screen and air conditioning indicator lights.
3/ Wiping function
This function is divided into two sub-functions, which are: Wiper control and Wiper power.
4/ Lighting function
This function is divided into two sub-functions, which are: Lighting control and Lighting power.
5/ Tyre function
This function is divided into three sub-functions which are: Tyre reception, Tyre management and Tyre display.
