DISPLAYING THE TRIP COMPUTER PAGES AND FAULT FINDING HELP
First page: all the warning lights are illuminated with software version + clock on the trip computer page.
Second page: all the segments are illuminated on the trip computer.
Third page: Number of litres display
If an "open circuit or short circuit" fault is present, "- - -" is displayed.
Fourth page: Fuel flow in litres/hour information with the engine running.
If an "open circuit or short circuit" fault is present, "- -" is displayed.
Fifth page: Stored sensor faults, no present or stored fault displayed as "- - - - -".
– The stored and present "coolant temperature" faults are displayed as "- - -TO" for open circuit and " and
"- - -TC" for short circuit.
The "coolant temperature" faults are not significant, the "TO" fault must not be taken into account when the engine is
cold.
– The stored and present "fuel gauge" faults are displayed as " -JO- - "for open circuit and"-JC- -" for short circuit.
– The stored and present "fuel flow" faults are displayed as "D- - - -" for no fuel flow signal.
The "fuel flow" faults are to be taken into account only on the versions with the trip computer.
All the displayed faults of the "stored sensor faults" page are faults that were detected, but no longer confirmed as
present.
In case of several stored or present faults, they are all displayed on a single line.
To clear the stored faults and end the self-test procedure sequence, press and hold the odometer Reset button.

1. OPERATION OF THE NEEDLE INDICATORS
Speedometer
The vehicle speed signal is transmitted to the instrument panel by a wire link.
The information is produced by the ABS computer or a speed sensor located on the gearbox.
Engine speed indicator
The engine speed signal is transmitted to the instrument panel by a wire connection (signal provided by the injection
computer).
2. OPERATION OF THE TRIP COMPUTER
Coolant temperature bargraph
The coolant temperature signal is transmitted to the instrument panel by a wire connection.
The signal is produced by the coolant temperature sensor.
Above 115°C (inclusive), all the segments are illuminated with the warning light.
From 105°C (inclusive) to 115°C (not inclusive), six segments are illuminated.
From 80°C (inclusive) to 105°C (not inclusive), four segments are illuminated.
From 50°C (inclusive) to 80°C (not inclusive), two segments are illuminated.
No segments are illuminated when the temperature is below 50°C.
Fuel level bargraph and low fuel level warning light
The separate "low fuel level" warning light comes on when the reserve level is reached and nine segments of the
bargraph are extinguished.
The wire signal from the fuel sender is processed to calculate the fuel level and manage the warning light.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT OPERATION WHEN THE IGNITION IS SWITCHED ON:
A 3 second self-test is run on the "low fuel level" warning light when the ignition is switched on.
Case 1: if the fuel sender is connected but the fuel level in the tank is lower than the reserve threshold, the
continued illumination of the warning light after 3 seconds depends on the fuel level signal (smoothed and taking
into account recalibrations).
Case 2: if the fuel sender is not connected and it is the first time the fault appears when switching on the ignition, the
low fuel level warning light first flashes quickly for 2 seconds, then after 1 minute 40 seconds maximum (fault
detection time), the fuel level bargraph goes out, then the low fuel level warning light is illuminated continuously.
Case 3: if the fuel sender is not connected and the warning light had been illuminated before the ignition was
switched on this time, the low fuel level warning light stays illuminated, then after 1 minute 40 seconds, all the
bargraph segments go out.

ALP 2Coolant temperature signal is absent or inconsistent
Signal provided by the coolant temperature sensor
NOTESSee Wiring Diagrams Technical Note for Kangoo VLL.
Check the connection and condition of the coolant temperature sensor connector, component code 244.
Repair the connector if necessary.
For petrol injection, check the resistance of the coolant temperature sensor, component code 244 between
connection 42A and the engine earth.
For diesel injection, check the resistance of the coolant temperature sensor, component code 244 between
connection 42A and connection NH.
Replace the coolant temperature sensor if the resistance is not between:
–825 < X < 927 at 50°C
–273 < X < 300 at 80°C
–124 < X < 136 at 105°C
–X < 103 for temperatures greater than 115°C (warning temperature)
Check the insulation, continuity, and the absence of interference resistance on the following connection:
–42A between components247 and 244.
If the connection is faulty and 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.
