3. REMINDERS
Procedure
To run diagnostics on the vehicle computers, switch on the ignition using the key.
Faults
Faults are declared as either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present 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
after the + after ignition feed (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 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 electrical lines which correspond to the fault,
–the connectors on these lines (corrosion, 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 statuses and parameters that do not produce a fault display on the
diagnostic tool when they are 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 complaint.
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 of the connection:
●Check that the connector is connected correctly and that the male and female parts of the connection are
correctly coupled.
Visual inspection of the area around the connection:
●Check the condition of the mounting (pin, strap, adhesive tape, etc.) if the connectors are attached to the
vehicle.
●Check that there is no damage to the wiring trim (sheath, foam, adhesive tape, etc.) near the wiring.
●Check that there is no damage to the electrical wires at the connector outputs, in particular on the
insulating material (wear, cuts, burns, etc.).
Disconnect the connector to continue the checks.
Visual inspection of the plastic casing:
●Check that there is no mechanical damage (casing crushed, cracked, broken, etc.), in particular to the
fragile components (lever, lock, openings, etc.).
●Check that there is no heat damage (casing melted, darker, deformed, etc.).
●Check that there are no stains (grease, mud, liquid, etc.).
Visual inspection of the metal contacts:
(The female contact is called CLIP. The male contact is called TAB.)
●Check that there are no bent contacts (the contact is not inserted correctly and can come out of the back
of the connector). The spring contact of the connector when pulling the wire slightly.
●Check that there is no damage (folded tabs, clips open too wide, blackened or melted contact, etc.).
●Check that there is no oxidation on the metal contacts. Note:
Carry out each requested check visually. Do not remove a connector if it is not required.
Note:
Repeated connections and disconnections alter the functionality of the connectors and increase the risk of poor
electrical contact. Limit the number of connections/disconnections as much as possible.
Note:
The check is carried out on the 2 parts of the connection. There may be two types of connections:
–Connector / Connector
–Connector / Device

Check the connection and condition (possible damage to the wiring) of the connector of component 153.
If the connector is faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, wiring: Precautions for
repair), repair the connector, otherwise replace the wiring.
Check for a voltage of approximately 12 V between the two connections of the connector of component 153 near
component 1094.
If a 12 V feed is not present, contact the Techline.
If all the checks are in order, swap the 2 front wheel speed sensors. Clear the computer fault memory.
Switch off the ignition. Switch the ignition back on and carry out a road test.
If a fault, which was initially registered as DF008 Front left-hand wheel speed sensor signal has become
present DF028 Front right-hand wheel speed sensor signal, replace the wheel speed sensor
(see MR 411 Mechanical systems, 38C, Wheel speed sensor: Removal - Refitting).
If the fault stays on the same side, the target is faulty, replace the active sensor bearing.
AFTER REPAIRClear the computer fault memory.
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.
