Check that an additional booster battery has not been used when starting, if this is the case, this fault may appear.
Use the diagnostic tool to carry out a multiplex system test.
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 has not made it possible to find the defective connection, disconnect the electronic
parking brake computer connector to check it is in good condition and check the condition of the clips (terminals)
and in particular the clips for tracks A2 and A3.
Replace the clips if necessary.
With the electronic parking brake computer connector disconnected, check the insulation, continuity and the
absence of interference resistance on the connections between tracks A2 and A3 of the electronic parking
brake computer and the following computers:
– anti-lock braking system (see diagram of the various computers),
– injection (see diagram of the different computers),
– automatic transmission (see diagram of the different computers),
– UCH (see diagram of the different computers),
– Protection and Switching Unit (see diagram of the different computers).
Repair 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.

2. DEF
NOTESSpecial notes:
This fault is generated after the automatic parking brake is
switched on whilst driving or following an internal reset.
With the anti-lock braking system, this detection is active at
> 0.6 mph (> 1 km/h), otherwise the multiplex signal
emitted by the injection computer must be 1.
Note:
The driver is only informed of this fault after 16 successive
detections.
This fault may be due to battery disconnections or vehicle
supply faults, in which case it is associated with fault 1.DEF
(battery voltage too low) dealt with previously.
If the frequency counter (PR016) > 3 and if the onboard network (battery, wiring) analysis does not bring up any
present or stored fault under battery voltage, contact the Techline.
Check that the battery, battery - starter - alternator connection lead, battery earth - chassis lead and the chassis
earth - engine and transmission assembly lead are in good condition.
Repair if necessary.
Check the charging circuit: the alternator should not supply a voltage of less than + 12 V or greater than + 14.4 V
(engine at idle speed).
Carry out the necessary repairs.

Repair if necessary (see the vehicle wiring diagram).
If the fault is still present, check that no electrical system using the same supply fuse as the electronic parking
brake computer is faulty.
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.

SUB-FUNCTION: AUTOMATIC APPLICATION
NOTESOnly carry out this conformity check after carrying out a complete check using the
diagnostic tool.
Application conditions: ignition on (forced + after ignition, see Introduction)
Note:
The interpretation of these statuses and parameters is only valid with the
ignition switched on, the statuses and parameters displayed in blue on the
diagnostic tool is information supplied by other computers, which are transmitted via
the multiplex network. If these variables display inconsistent values, check that the
multiplex system test has not shown up any faulty connections. Repair the faulty
multiplex connections before looking for a possible problem with the signals.
Each sub-function in this test is associated with a Fault finding chart.
Special notes
The diagnostic tool may display the message Computer busy when displaying
statuses and parameters. This message is displayed when the parking brake is
applying or releasing the brake, because the computer gives priority to controlling the
motor before transmitting variables. If this message is displayed, exit the current

ALP2 Will not release
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a full check using the diagnostic tool
(no present or stored faults).
The main causes of the brake not releasing are:
– Driver's door incorrectly closed (on vehicles with an automatic transmission).
– Insufficient acceleration value.
– Fault with gearbox switch.
– Fault with door switch.
– Pads stuck.
– Incorrect multiplex line signals.
If the manual release will not work, see ALP 4
(see the wiring diagrams technical note for the vehicle concerned).
Check that the force applied to the accelerator pedal is sufficient whether or not the vehicle is on a downward
slope or not.
For a vehicle fitted with an automatic transmission, check that the door on the driver's side is not open or
incorrectly closed.
Close the door again and go back through neutral if necessary.
Check that the interior lights have gone out.
Check that the door switch is working correctly:
Check the insulation, continuity and the absence of interference resistance on the following connections:
– connection code 87H
– connection code MA
Between the door switch, component code 140 and the UCH, component code 645.
If there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for
repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Repair if necessary.
Check that the force applied to the accelerator pedal is sufficient and that the accelerator value is sufficient (refer
to the conformity check) whether the vehicle is on a downward slope or not.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a check using the diagnostic tool.
Deal with any other faults.
