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.), that 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 the wire is pulled.
●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

DEF: Operating temperature too high
NOTESConditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
Apply this fault finding procedure even if the fault is stored.
Notes:
This fault does not indicate a system failure, but indicates overheating either of the
Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) motor or of the computer during repeated
manoeuvres.This fault may appear after the steering wheel is moved repeatedly
(parking) and causes a gradual reduction in steering but the fault warning light does
not come on.
Use the diagnostic tool to check the conformity of PR129 Motor power (60 A) and PR130 Motor power (45 A)
(zero in absence of PR001 Torque applied to steering wheel).
Contact the Techline in the event of any nonconformity.
Check the conformity of the computer and steering column (45 or 60 A) in relation to the table below:
Left-hand drive Right-hand drive
Torque sensor wiring harness blue black
Motor wiring45 Agreen black
Motor wiring60 Ablue grey
45 A 60 A
Computer label yellow white
In the event of a nonconformity, consult "RENAULT NET" to repair the vehicle according to the technical vehicle
definition.
Disconnect the battery then allow the electric power-assisted steering to cool down.
Reconnect the battery, clear the faults, start the vehicle and check the operation of the electric power-assisted
steering by turning the steering wheel full lock to the left or right.
The fault should not recur in the next 30 seconds.
If the fault recurs as present or stored, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any other faults.
Clear the stored faults.
Check that the EPAS is working.
