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.

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.

Step 1:
Start the vehicle, check that engine coolant temperature is ≥ 20 ˚C.
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.
