Fault finding - Introduction21B
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 data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool because 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 complaint.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following page
in the form of a flow chart.

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX
Fault finding - System operation
1. Sequential gearbox functions
The electrohydraulic system attached to the gearbox comprises two actuators, one for gear selection and changing,
the other for operating the clutch, and a hydraulic power unit which supplies power to the actuators.
The assembly is linked to the sequential gearbox computer, which itself is linked to the engine management
computer by a multiplex line connection. The gear lever is used to select gears: in automatic mode, gear changes
are controlled by the computer which uses auto-adaptive shift patterns; in manual mode, the driver moves a lever
which, via the computer, change the gears.
When the gear is changed, the sequential gearbox computer controls the engine management computer and the
torque in such a way as to reduce bucking, leaving the driver free to leave his foot on the accelerator pedal.
Description of user operation:
The interface between the driver and the sequential gearbox system inside the passenger compartment comprises:
–a gear lever (mechanical section and internal electronic section),
–a display,
–a buzzer.
Using this interface, the driver can:
–request gear changes (up or down),
–request a specific gear change (into neutral or reverse),
–switch between manual and automatic mode,
Description of passenger compartment control:
Description of gear lever positions:
–“S”: Standby: this is the only stable gear lever position. Each time the driver presses the lever, it returns to the S
position.
–“R”: Reverse: moving the lever to this position enables the driver to select reverse gear. Given the lever position
of the reverse function, if the movement is too slow, the sequential gearbox computer can read the N signal and
hence neutral is selected before reverse.
–“N”: Neutral: moving the lever to this position enables the driver to select neutral.
–“A/M”: AUTO/MANUAL: moving the lever to this position enables the driver to select either the manual mode (or
semi-automatic) or automatic mode. If AUTO mode is selected, moving the lever will enable the driver to select
manual mode, if manual mode is selected; moving the lever will enable the driver to select automatic mode. The automatic mode used by the sequential gearbox is based on the design of the DP0 automatic gearbox which
uses
shift patterns that adapt automatically to the driving style and road conditions.
The gear change is determined by a set of gear change graphs as a function of the accelerator pedal position and
the vehicle speed.
The sequential gearbox is a conventional manual gearbox with an electrohydraulic control.

Description of gear lever positions (continued):
–"+": moving the gear lever towards this position enables the driver to shift up,
–“-”: moving the gear lever towards this position will enable the driver to shift down.
Description of the display:
This display is specifically for the sequential gearbox. It displays 4 types of information for the driver:
–displays the gear selected: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, N or R,
–the pictogram displaying AUTO mode: this pictogram lights up when AUTO mode is selected,
–the “depress brake pedal” symbol: this symbol lights up when a driver action requires the brake pedal to be
depressed if the driver is not depressing the brake pedal. This symbol only lights up when there is an error (driver
actions without depressing the brake pedal = symbol lighting up),
–the sequential gearbox fault warning light: this lights up when the sequential gearbox computer detects a fault on
the sequential gearbox system.
General information about the operation:
Operation in MANUAL mode:
Manual mode allows the driver to select gears by moving the gear lever. However, in manual mode, the driver is not
completely free to do what he/she likes. This is why this mode is also called semiautomatic mode because the driver
is still assisted by the sequential gearbox computer in the following instances:
–when driving, shifting the lever towards the “+” position may result in underspeed. As a result, the sequential
gearbox computer forbids the driver's request,
–when driving, shifting the lever towards the “-” position may result in engine overspeed. As a result, the sequential
gearbox computer forbids the driver's request,
–when driving, as the overspeed threshold is approached, the computer automatically selects a higher gear,
–when driving, as the underspeed threshold is approached, the computer automatically selects a lower gear,
–when driving, if the vehicle speed reduces too quickly (brakes applied), the sequential gearbox computer can
order a downshift. Reminder:
Creep is only possible in first or reverse gears; it makes parking manoeuvres easier: if the brake pedal or
the handbrake is released, the vehicle moves forward by itself, without the driver having to accelerate.
Creeping is not possible in second gear.

Lever operation:
–Each time the lever is moved, it returns to the “S” position automatically.
–When the vehicle has stopped and the engine is switched off and the key is in + after ignition feed position, lever
movements will only be registered if the driver depresses the brake pedal. In this case, all gears are available. The
number of gear changes possible is unlimited.
–When the vehicle has stopped and the engine is running, lever movements will only be registered if the driver
depresses the brake pedal. In this configuration, only gears N, 1, 2 and R are available.
–Position N only allows neutral to be engaged if the driver depresses the brake pedal.
–Position R enables reverse gear to be engaged. Reverse gear will only be engaged if the vehicle has stopped and
if the driver depresses the brake pedal. Engaging reverse when driving is prevented by the sequential gearbox
computer.
Display operation:
AUTO repeater
–As the display has an AUTO (A) symbol, it is possible to display the gear engaged at the same time as
AUTO mode.
Gear selection display
–Vehicle stopped or almost stopped: A new gear will only be displayed after confirmation that the gear has
really been engaged in the gearbox.
–Vehicle being driven: the change in the status of the display will depend on the driving mode selected:
In AUTO mode: simultaneous display of the AUTO mode and the gear engaged.
In MANUAL mode: engaged gear is displayed.
Display programming when gears cannot be engaged
–When a request would lead to engine overspeed or underspeed: the requested gear flashes then initial
gear reappears. Flashing ends after a delay.
–When there is a mechanical fault: application of the “retry” (1) program by the computer.
During retry: the requested gear flashes; then, the engaged gear is displayed on the instrument panel at
the end of the retry period. This program cannot be applied to neutral because the “N” position cannot
flash on the instrument panel; it remains lit.
(1) “RETRY”: If there is a mechanical fault engaging a gear (lower or higher), the computer will detect this
and will attempt to re-engage twice more; if this does not work, the requested gear will flash on the
instrument panel display and the gearbox will return to the gear used prior to this request.

Depress brake pedal symbol:
–The “depress brake” symbol lights up when there is:
–a request to change gear when stopped without the brake pedal applied,
–a request to start the engine with gear engaged without brake pedal applied,
–a request to select N when driving without brake pedal applied,
–a request to select AUTO, with the vehicle stationary, the engine running and 2
nd gear engaged.
–Depress brake pedal symbol goes out:
The symbol goes out if the driver depresses the brake pedal or after a delay.
In the event that the driver makes a request causing the gear requested to flash and the symbol to be displayed at
the same time, they will be synchronised and last for the same period of time.
Fault warning light:
This warning light comes on when a fault is detected by the sequential gearbox computer.Note:
If, while the symbol is lit, the driver depresses the brake pedal, the symbol will go out and the display will return to
its previous status (the lever request is not registered).
