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 the fault should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used after
the + after ignition feed has been connected (without any of the system components being activated).
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 phase 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 repair.
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 dealt with by
customer complaints.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following
page in the form of a flow chart.

Fault finding - System operation
1. GENERAL FUNCTIONING
The UPC particpates in the following functions:
–distributing and protecting the electrical power,
–keyless vehicles,
–wipers,
–lighting,
–de-icing,
–air conditioning,
–oil pressure detection.
Distributing and protecting electrical power
The main function of the UPC is to switch on and distribute part of the power in order to supply the vehicle systems,
actuators or computers.
Another part of the power supply distribution is housed in the Engine Interconnection Unit but is not controlled
electronically by the computer.
+12 V battery feed
The UPC receives energy from the battery via the 1 track screwed connector and redistributes +12 V around the
vehicle.
+ after ignition feed
The UCH requests the + APC via the multiplex network. When the UPC receives this request, it controls the APC
relay unconditionally.
Energy management
The computer transmits the signal to load the alternator on the multiplex network.
Keyless vehicle
In the Keyless vehicle function, the UPC participates in the start-up sub-function. The computer:
–receives the request to start up the UCH via the multiplex network,
–check that the start-up conditions have been met then controls the starter relay,
–can inhibit or turn off the starter relay command by means of a forbid start-up signal transmitted by the
injection computer on the multiplex network.
Air conditioning
For the operation of this function and the role of the UPC in setting up this function (see 62A, Air conditioning,
Function architecture and General functioning mode).
Cold loop
The computer receives the compressor switch-on request from the injection via the multiplex network.
The computer controls the compressor clutch activation relay.
Heating
The computer also controls the de-icing of the rear tailgate window and the electric rear view mirrors.
Fan assembly
When prompted for the engine check request, the UPC supplies the GMV with power.

+ APC CIRCUIT
DEF : Consistency
NOTESNone.
Check the voltage of the battery.
Check that ET026 + ignition status is consistent
Check the condition of the fuses on the battery positive terminal.
Repair if necessary.
Check the status and the connection of the + battery on the UPC mounting and on the P2 connector.
Repair if necessary.
With the ignition turned off, check that there is no +12 V supply on track 6 of UPC connector PPM2
If the +12 V feed is present, disconnect the following fuses one by one in order to isolate the faulty track:
–fuse 5C (track 6 connector PPM2),
–fuse 5D (track 1 connector PEH),
–fuse 5E (track 10 connector PPH2),
–fuse 5F (track 11 connector PPH2),
–fuse 5G (track 7 connector PPM2),
–fuse 5H (track 10 connector PPM2).
Using an electrical diagram, check the insulation against +12 V, of the connection between the track which
the UPC detected as faulty and the computers or consumers linked to this track.
With the ignition on, check for the presence of +12 V on one of the following UPC tracks:
–track 1 of connector PEH
–tracks 6, 7 and 10 of connector PPM2
–tracks 10 and 11 of connector PPH2
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRClear the computer memory.
Turn the ignition off and then on again, then run a new check using the fault finding tool.

WINDSCREEN WIPER PROTECTION
NOTESBefore starting, check the operation of the windscreen wiper motor by running
commands AC005 Windscreen wiper at low speed and AC006 Windscreen wiper
at high speedand then check the park position using command AC012 Windscreen
wiper park position.
These statuses are listed in the order of severity or persistance of incorrect wiper
operation.
–if the status is INACTIVE, the wiper function is normal.
–If the status is LOW SPEED, the UPC has detected an abnormal wiper operation on
the higher speed setting for more than 6 seconds (the wiper has stuck or is blocked);
windscreen wiping is therefore forced to operate on the lower speed setting when
the higher speed setting is requested,
–If the status is INTERMITTENT, the wiper function is stopped for 10 seconds
following the detection and persistence of the fault (restrained or blocked),
–If the status is BLOCKED, wiping stops 30 seconds after the malfunction has lasted
for more than 2 minutes.
The status returns to INACTIVE, once the UCH requests a new wiping instruction (by
following the movement of the wiper stalk or by request from the rain sensor).
Make sure that nothing is mechanically blocking movement of the wiper blades (blades stuck, condition and
assembly of the wiper mechanism linkage and no object interfering with the motion of the device).
Check that the wiper mechanism is not seized.
Repair if necessary.
Check the status and the connection of connectors PPH2 and PEH on the UPC and of the windscreen wiper
motor.
Repair if necessary.

CONDITIONS FOR STARTING THE ENGINE SATISFIED
NOTESNo particular instructions.
In the Keyless vehicle function, check that the starting conditions are met.
The UPC participates in the engine start function by managing the switches on the gearbox.
Check the operation of the gearbox switches using statuses ET004 Reverse gear selected and ET005
Manual gearbox gear lever position then run fault finding on UCH start and engine management functions.
If the conditions have been satisfied and the starter does not work, refer to ALP 2.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any other possible faults.
Switch off the ignition and carry out a road test followed by a test with the diagnostic
tool.
