Fault finding - Role of components
Role of main automatic transmission components
Automatic transmission computer:
The gearbox computer is used to manage the entire system.
Its role is to define the optimum operating mode for the automatic transmission (modify the torque transmitted to the
drive wheels by the automatic transmission), inform the driver (instrument panel, information display, buzzer) and
communicate with the other computers.
To carry out this function, the transmission computer takes account of:
–the operation of the gearbox,
–signals exchanged with other computers,
–driver requests.
Transmission oil temperature sensor:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer of the transmission oil temperature.
Transmission input speed sensor:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer of the turbine speed.
Transmission output speed sensor:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer of the vehicle speed.
Brake light switch:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer that the driver has depressed the brake pedal.
Multifunction switch:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer of the gear lever position.
Shift-lock:
The role of this function is to lock the lever in position "P" and to immobilise the vehicle when stationary.
Solenoid valves:
The solenoid valves are fitted in the factory and cannot be removed from the hydraulic distributor to ensure optimum
gearbox operation, therefore they cannot be replaced separately.
The automatic transmission has two types of solenoid valve:
–2 "all or nothing" solenoid valves,
–6 "progressive" solenoid valves.
Of these 8 solenoid valves, 7 are used to control gear changes in automatic and manual modes, and one solenoid
valve controls the oil pressure in the automatic transmission hydraulic distributor.
Instrument panel display:
The purpose of this function is to manage the transmission of multiplex line signals required for the instrument panel
display.
On the instrument panel:
–a fault warning light,
–a message on the instrument panel in case of irregularity,
–an information display: gear lever position/gear engaged/brake pedal depressed indicator light/lever position in P
or N request indicator light.
On the gear lever:
–Position: P / R / N / D / M+/-,
–Shift-lock: lever lock.

Replacing the transmission computer:
Remove the automatic transmission computer (see MR 370 mechanical, 23A, Automatic transmission,
Automatic transmission computer, Removal - Refitting).
Refit the automatic transmission computer (see MR 370 mechanical, 23A, Automatic transmission,
Automatic transmission computer, Removal - Refitting).
Establish dialogue with the diagnostic tool.
Use command VP001 Enter VIN.
Run command VP009 Write last After-Sales Service operation date.
Do not carry out any automatic programming if replacing the automatic transmission computer. Automatic
programming is finalised when the vehicle is driven.
In order to optimise the automatic programming before delivering the vehicle to the customer, apply the
"Programming procedure" shown below.
Replacing the hydraulic distributor:
Remove the transmission hydraulic distributor (see MR 370 mechanical, 23A, Automatic transmission,
Hydraulic distributor, Removal - Refitting).
Refit the transmission hydraulic distributor (see MR 370 Mechanical, 23A, Automatic transmission, Hydraulic
distributor, Removal - Refitting).
Replacing the automatic transmission
Remove the transmission (see MR 370,Mechanical, 23A, Automatic transmission, Removal - Refitting).
Refit the transmission (see MR 370, Mechanical, 23A, Automatic transmission, Removal - Refitting).
Establish communication with the diagnostic tool.
Initialise all the programming, use the command RZ009 Self-adapting clearing (Vdiag05 only).
Run command VP009 Write last After-Sales Service operation date.
The self-programming functions are performed when the vehicle is being driven.
In order to optimise the automatic programming before delivering the vehicle to the customer, apply the
"Programming procedure" shown below.
* APV: After-SalesPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE:
Programming conditions:
The automatic gearbox oil temperature should be between 60˚C and 100˚C.
Stationary, engine running, brake pedal depressed:
Engage neutral at least 5 times to consolidate the programming.
While driving:
Engage the same gear at least 5 times (i.e. in the same conditions) to consolidate the programming.
Note:
Gear changes are slow and harsh the first few times the vehicle is driven, until the automatic transmission computer
has carried out its automatic programming.
During upshifts and downshifts, the system analyses variations in oil pressure, components (play in the brakes and
clutches, changes to spring stiffness due to ageing) and input torque, then corrects them in order to maintain the
quality of gear changes.
The system analyses the turbine speed during the 3 phases of drag reduction (selection of Neutral when stationary,
regulation during drag reduction and deselection of Neutral) and corrects this speed by adjusting the converter
lock-up solenoid valve pressure.

Use the Wiring Diagrams Technical Note, SCENIC II ph2.
Check that the coolant temperature (see 13B, Diesel injection, EDC16, CP33 M9R 721 Conformity check)
is ≥ - 40 ˚C (the transmission oil temperature sensor is within its operating range).
If the oil temperature ≤ - 40 ˚C, move on to step 1.
If the oil temperature is ≥ - 40 ˚C, deal with the fault; move on to step 2.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any other faults. Clear the fault memory.
Switch off the ignition, wait 1 minute and carry out a road test followed by another
check with the diagnostic tool.
