3. REMINDERS
To run fault finding on the vehicle's computers, switch on the ignition in fault finding mode (forced + after
ignition feed).
Proceed as follows:
– with the vehicle card in the RENAULT card reader,
– press and hold the Start button (for more than 5 seconds) with start-up conditions not fulfilled,
– connect the diagnostic tool and perform the required operations.
To cut off the + after ignition feed, proceed as follows:
– disconnect the diagnostic tool,
– press the Start button twice briefly (less than 3 seconds),
ensure that the + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer indicator lights on the instrument
panel have gone out.Note:
The left-hand and right-hand xenon bulb computers are powered when the dipped headlights are lit. Therefore
fault finding can only be carried out on them after the ignition has been switched on in fault finding mode (forced
+ after ignition feed) and the dipped headlights have been switched on.

5. FAULT FINDING LOG
You will always be asked for this log:
– when requesting technical assistance from Techline,
– when requesting approval before replacing parts for which approval is compulsory,
– to be attached to monitored parts for which reimbursement is requested. The log is needed for warranty
reimbursement, and enables better analysis of the parts removed.
6. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any damage or injury:
– check the battery voltage to avoid incorrect operation of computer functions.
During work on the airbag/seat belt pretensioner systems, it is essential that you lock the computer using
the diagnostic tool to prevent any risk of accidental triggering (all the trigger lines will be disabled).
The locked mode is indicated when the instrument panel warning light comes on.
If it is impossible to connect the diagnostic tool, switch off the ignition, remove the system power supply
fuse and wait at least 2 seconds for the discharge of the reserve power capacity.
Never measure the airbag or pretensioner trigger lines with any device other than XRBAG or CLIP's "Airbag
and pretensioner wiring harness check".
Before using a dummy ignition module, check to make sure that its resistance is between 1.8 et 2.5 Ω.
During the procedure, check that the computer feed voltage does not drop below 10 V.
Disconnect the battery before removing and refitting any pyrotechnic component (airbag module,
pretensioner or seat belt retractor).IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system requires thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools.
The FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the fault finding procedure,
ensures a record is kept of the procedure carried out. It is an essential document when
consulting the manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE ESSENTIAL THAT THE FAULT FINDING LOG IS FILLED OUT EVERY TIME IT IS
REQUESTED BY TECHLINE OR THE WARRANTY RETURNS DEPARTMENT.
IMPORTANT
Airbag and pretensioner destruction and scrapping is subject to national legislation.

RZ001: fault memory.
This command is used for clearing the stored faults from the computer.
CONFIGURATIONS/CONFIGURATION READING
To simplify the Autoliv RC5 P1/P2 AIRBAG computer configuration, the diagnostic tool offers automatic
configuration commands for the airbag trigger lines and sensors according to the equipment level of the
various versions.
