Fault finding – Interpretation of faults37B

CONTINUED
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 network test did not find the faulty connection, carry out a conformity check to check that the
status from the Protection and Switching Unit computer is present and correct (ET016, PR015, PR017).
Check the gearbox contacts.
If the status and parameters shown here are not correct, carry out fault finding on the Protection and Switching
Unit (see 87G, Engine compartment connection unit).
If the fault is still present, disconnect the Protection and Switching Unit computer connector to check that the
connector and its clips (terminals) are in good condition, especially the multiplex track clips (see the wiring
diagram of the Protection and Switching Unit fitted to 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.

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
screen and then return to it.

– the engine and passenger compartment fuses.
Check for + 12 V battery on track 16, and + 12 V after ignition feed on track 1 and an earth on track 5 and on
track 4 of the diagnostic socket.
Repair if necessary.
Disconnect the automatic or electronic parking brake computer connector to check the insulation, continuity
and absence of interference resistance on the following connections:

Carry out a multiplex network test (see 88B, Multiplexing) and check for any potential incorrect multiplex line
signals from the injection computer (see 13B, Diesel injection or 17B, Petrol injection), the automatic gearbox
computer (see 23A, Automatic gearbox) the UCH computer (see 87B, Passenger compartment connection
unit) and the Protection and Switching Unit computer (see 87G, Engine compartment connection unit).
Test the braking system:
Look for any areas where the brake pads may be sticking (due to ice, salt, etc.).
Check that the brake piston is operating correctly.
Repair if necessary.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.

ALP4 Assisted braking fault (when the engine is stopped)
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a full check using the diagnostic tool
(no present or stored faults).
(see the wiring diagrams technical note for the vehicle concerned).
Check for any potential faults in the ABS computer (see 38C, Anti-lock braking system), the UCH computer
(see 87B, Passenger compartment connection unit) and the injection computer (see 13B, Diesel injection or
17B, Petrol injection) to ensure that they have actually received a request to stop the engine.
Test the application of the electronic parking brake with the engine switched off.
Incorrect signal faults on the multiplex line.
Run a multiplex network test (see88B, Multiplex).
When the engine stalls, the automatic brake application function is not active.
Check the + 12 V supply, the insulation, continuity and the absence of interference resistance on the
following connection:
– connection code BP2
Between the electronic parking brake computer, component code 1217 and the battery, component code 107.
If the continuity is correct, test the charging circuit (see Technical Note 6014A, Checking the charging circuit).
Repair if necessary.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out a check using the diagnostic tool.
Deal with any other faults.
