Wheel speed sensor:
Gives the speed of each of the vehicle's wheels.
Analysis of the speeds of the right-hand and left-hand wheel allows the turning direction of the vehicle to be
deduced.
Brake lights switch:
Visual indication of the brake pedal position.
It indicates whether the driver is depressing the brake pedal.

SETTINGS
VP001: Enter VIN.
This command permits manual entry of the vehicle's VIN into the computer.
Use this command each time the computer is replaced.
The VIN number (VF...) can be found on the manufacturer's plate on the door pillar and on the body panel
under the bonnet.
Programming procedure:
– connect the diagnostic tool,
– refer to the BOSCH 8.1 ABS fault finding,
– select parameter VP001,
– enter the VIN,
– clear the computer memory using command RZ001 Fault memory,
– exit fault finding mode,
– switch off the ignition,
– wait for the end of powerlatch,
– on the identification screen, using ID010 V.I.N. code, check that the code being entered has been
correctly recognised.
VP004: Vehicle parameters.
This command allows you to identify the vehicle on which the computer is installed.
Using PR063 Vehicle parameters, check that the parameters have been correctly recognised.
VP006: Enter last APV* operation date.
Whenever the ABS system is worked on in the shop, the date must be entered.
Select command VP006 on the diagnostic tool.
Enter the service date using the diagnostic tool keypad.
Using ID020 Read last After-Sales operation date, check that the date has been entered.
VP007: Tachometric index.
This command is used to program the computer memory with the index required to calculate vehicle speed
from the speed at which the tyres fitted on the vehicle turn.
Command VP007 is only used to stop the ABS warning light flashing after the computer has been
replaced.
Using PR030 Tachometric index, check that the index has been entered correctly.
APV*: After-SalesIMPORTANT:
The vehicle speed information is not delivered to the other computers by the ABS computer.
The vehicle speed signal is delivered by a speed sensor located on the gearbox.

Apply the fault finding procedure if the fault is present or stored.
Use the Wiring Diagrams Technical Note for KANGOO VLL.

If the connector is faulty and there is a repair method (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring,
Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the connector, otherwise replace the wiring.
Disconnect the sensor, use command AC013 Wheel speed sensor supply test and check that pulses of voltage
of approximately 12 V are detected by a multimeter at the sensor connector terminals on the computer side.
Are the pulses present?

If pulses are detected, the front left-hand wheel speed sensor is defective, replace
the sensor.
NOCheck the connection and condition of the connections of the ABS computer,
component code 118.
If the connector is faulty and there is a repair method (see Technical Note 6015A,
Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the connector,
otherwise replace the wiring.
Check and ensure the continuity of the following connections:
–4E between components 153 and 118,
–4C between components 153 and 118.
Also check the insulation between these two connections.
If the connection or connections are faulty and if there is a repair procedure (see
Technical Note 6015A, Electrical wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions for repair),
repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.

Check the connection and condition of the connections of the front left-hand wheel speed sensor, component code
153.
If the connector is faulty and there is a repair method (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring,
Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the connector, otherwise replace the wiring.
Visually inspect the condition of the target and sensor (for dirt, metallic contamination, bearing grease, etc.), and
clean using compressed air if necessary.
If there is a lot of grease on the target, contact the Techline.
Check that the wheel speed sensor mounting is in good condition (correct clipping).
Check the conformity of the target (condition, number of teeth = 48 or 44 depending on the version) with the specific
command SC001 Check target teeth.
If the checks are correct:
– clear the computer fault memory using the command RZ001 Fault memory,
– exit fault finding mode, switch off the ignition and carry out a road test.
Replace the instrumented bearing if the fault recurs.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
