1. DEF: Multiplex signals absent or values invalid (fault with the computer generating
the signal or multiplex line connection fault)
NOTESPriority in the event of a number of faults:
Deal with faults DF055 Battery undervoltage and DF052 Multiplex network first if
they are present or stored.
Deal with any automatic transmission computer faults first.
The fault does not usually come from the electronic parking brake computer.
Note:
If this fault is present, the parking brake loses its assisted application and release
functions.
Conditions for applying the fault finding procedure to a stored fault:
Apply this fault finding procedure if the fault reappears as present or stored after a
fault has been cleared, and the ignition has been switched off and on again (forced
+ after ignition feed: see Introduction).
Special notes:
This fault only relates to multiplex signals received from the automatic transmission
computer.
This fault indicates either that there is no signal or that the signals transmitted are
inconsistent.
Only for Vdiag 08, 0C and 0D:
If there is a stored fault, refer to the statuses and parameters when it appears.
Explanation of counters: see Introduction.
If the fault is stored and PR018 = 0 and PR022 > 25, clear the fault:
do not take this fault into account.
If the fault is stored and PR019 < 15 clear the fault:
do not take this fault into account.
AFTER REPAIRIf the computer has been replaced (at the request of the Techline), initialise the
electronic parking brake computer (see Replacement of components).
Issue several braking and release commands to confirm the repair.
Deal with any other faults.

Check the vehicle gearbox configuration: check that the configuration is not for a manual gearbox when the
vehicle is fitted with an automatic transmission, or that it is not configured for an automatic transmission when the
vehicle is manual.
Using the diagnostic tool, run fault finding on the multiplex system and particularly on the automatic
transmission computer-parking brake control unit segment.
This check ensures that the various multiplex system connections are correct and finds any faulty segments.
Carry out any necessary repairs.
If the multiplex system test did not find the faulty connection, carry out a conformity check to check that the
status coming from the automatic transmission computer is present and correct (ET018).
If status ET018 is not correct, carry out fault finding on the automatic transmission.
If the fault is still present, disconnect the automatic transmission computer connector to check that it is sound as
well as its clips (terminals), and in particular the clips for the multiplex tracks (refer to the wiring diagram for the
automatic transmission computer fitted on the vehicle).
Replace the clips if necessary.
If the fault persists, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRIf the computer has been replaced (at the request of the Techline), initialise the
electronic parking brake computer (see Replacement of components).
Issue several braking and release commands to confirm the repair.
Deal with any other faults.

1. DEF: Internal electrical fault
NOTESPriorities when dealing with a number of faults:
This fault must be dealt with first.
Special notes:
Before replacing an electronic parking brake computer, save the data from the old
computer (for vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox).
For this operation, (see Replacement of components).
Check that the parking brake mechanical tensioning line is correct:
– Check the conformity, condition and correct operation of the brake callipers.
– Check the automatic adjustment of the rear brake callipers.
Contact the Techline without clearing the faults.
AFTER REPAIRIf the computer has been replaced (at the request of the Techline), initialise the
electronic parking brake computer (see Replacement of components).
Issue several braking and release commands to confirm the repair.
Deal with any other faults.

With the parking brake control lever connector disconnected, check the insulation, continuity and absence of
interference resistance on the following connections:
Parking brake lever connector: 1216Electronic parking brake computer: 1217
track 9
track 7track D2
track C2
Repair if necessary.
With the parking brake control lever connector disconnected, switch on the ignition and check for a 5 V supply
(4 V < X < 5 V) on track 7 of the lever connector. If the power supply is not present and the parking brake
computer is correctly supplied (no other faults detected by the diagnostic tool), then contact the Te c h l i n e.
If the fault is still present, measure the resistance of the braking switch between tracks 7 and 9 of the parking
brake control lever.
Replace the lever (see MR405 (Espace IV), MR395 (Laguna II) or MR370 (Scénic), Mechanical, 37B,
Electronic parking brake, Lever: Removal - Refitting or MR353 (Vel Satis), Mechanical, 37B, Automatic
parking brake, Lever) if the resistance of the brake application switch is not approximately:
– Lever in rest position: 2700  ± 100 
– Lever pulled: 172  ± 15 .
If the fault persists, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRIf the computer has been replaced (at the request of the Techline), initialise the
electronic parking brake computer (see Replacement of components).
Issue several braking and release commands to confirm the repair.
Deal with any other faults.

1. DEF: Parking brake unlocked by the emergency handle
NOTESPriority when dealing with a number of faults:
Deal first with faults DF003, DF004, DF028, DF029, DF035, DF041, DF042, DF043,
DF050, DF054, DF055, DF057, DF058 and DF073 if they are present or stored.
Conditions for applying the fault finding procedure to a stored fault:
Apply this fault finding procedure if the fault recurs after the fault is cleared, with the
ignition switched off and on again (forced + after ignition feed, see Introduction),
and the parking brake released then applied using the control lever.
Special notes:
The fault does not usually come from the electronic parking brake computer.
This fault indicates that the electronic parking brake system has been unlocked by the
manual control (if this is the case, check that the handle protector has not been
damaged).
Check that the emergency unlocking handle has not been manually pulled by the
user, which would provoke this fault.
The cables are reset by the parking brake release manual command or automatically
(if the fault is present) when the vehicle is driven at more than 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
(the fault is then stored).
Only for Vdiag 08, 0C and 0D:
If there is a stored fault, refer to the statuses and parameters when it appears.
Explanation of counters: see Introduction.
If the fault is stored and PR018 = 0 and PR022 > 25 clear the fault: do not take this
fault into account.
If there has been no manual use of the emergency unlocking handle and if PR019 > 5,
contact the Techline.
Check that the fault was not provoked by manual usage of the emergency unlocking handle. In this case, it is
normal for the fault to arise; clear the fault.
Carry out a releasing command, then a braking command with the control lever to reset the cables of the parking
brake.
Check the conformity of the parking brake mechanical tensioning line: correctly attached, no breakage.
Check the conformity of the emergency unlocking cable.
Carry out the necessary repairs.
Check that the braking force and maximum braking are operating correctly.
If the fault persists, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRIf the computer has been replaced (at the request of the Techline), initialise the
electronic parking brake computer (see Replacement of components).
Issue several braking and release commands to confirm the repair.
Deal with any other faults.
