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 considered when using the diagnostic tool after the + after ignition
feed is switched on (without any action 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 Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the instructions 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 when 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 synopsis of the general procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the
form of a flow chart.

If the fault is stored, deal with the other faults displayed on the diagnostic tool. In the absence of faults, end of
fault finding.
If a fault is still present, deal with it, then move on to step 2.
Step 2:
Look for any damage to the harness and check the condition and connection of the automatic transmission
computer and automatic transmission connectors.
If the connection is faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical wiring repair,
Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Disconnect the connector from component 119, measure the resistance of the oil temperature sensor
(on the connector of component 119) between the following connections:
●Connection code 5BZ,
●Connection code 5BY.
The resistance should be between:
–4.208 ± 0.42 kΩΩ Ω Ω
at 20 ˚C,
–1.947 ± 0.19 kΩΩ Ω Ω
at 40 ˚C,
–0.988 ± 0.09 kΩΩ Ω Ω
at 60 ˚C,
Is the resistance correct?
If YES, contact the Techline.
If NO, move on to step 3.
Stage 3:
Disconnect connector R22 and check continuity and insulation on the following connections:
●Connection code 5BZ,
●Connection code 5BY.
Between components 119 and R22.
If the connection or connections are faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical
wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Are the continuity and insulation correct?
If YES, move on to step 4.
If NO, replace the external wiring harness on the automatic transmission.
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.
