6. FAULT FINDING LOG
You will always be asked for this log:
– when requesting technical assistance from the 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.
7. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any material damage or personal injury:
– check the battery voltage to avoid incorrect operation of computer functions,
– use the proper tools.IMPORTANT!IMPORTANT
All faults involving a complex system call for thorough diagnostics 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.

CONFIGURATION/CONFIGURATION READING
– The configuration reading commands are used to read the computer configuration status in relation to the trigger
lines installed in the vehicle.
PARAMETER SETTINGS:
LOCK COMPUTER
This command should be used for any operation on the system. It inhibits all of the trigger lines.
UNLOCK COMPUTER
This command is used to unlock the computer when it is new or if it has been deactivated via the UNLOCK
COMPUTER command.Configuration reading Option Configuration

REPLACING THE AIRBAG COMPUTER
The airbag computers are sold in locked mode to avoid all risk of accidental triggering (all ignition lines are inhibited).
The "locked" mode is indicated when the airbag fault warning indicator light on the instrument panel illuminates.
Follow this procedure when replacing an air bag computer:
– Make sure the ignition is switched off.
– Replace the computer (see MR Mechanical: MR-AIRBAGS-SRP, 88, Airbags and seat belt pretensioners,
Computer: Removal-refitting).
– Carry out a check using the diagnostic tool.
– If necessary, modify the computer configuration using the "Configuration" command.
– Switch off the ignition.
– Unlock the computer only if no faults are indicated by the diagnostic tool.
WARNING:
The owner of the vehicle may have locked the passenger front airbag to allow a child seat to be fitted to
the front passenger seat. In this case, the procedure for locking the passenger front airbag defined in the
Technical Note published for this subject has been applied, i.e.:
– Signing of a discharge by the customer (example in the Technical Note).
– Replacement of the passenger front seat belt.
– Disconnection of the passenger front airbag module.
– Locking of the trigger line of the passenger front airbag and modification of the computer configuration.
– Replacement of the "airbag" labels on the passenger side.
If this procedure has been applied, it is imperative to relock the passenger front airbag using the "Lock
passenger front airbag" command ("Configuration and programming" section).
It is vital that you never use this passenger airbag locking command before a Technical Note dealing with
the subject has been distributed.
