Fault finding – Conformity check37B
SUB FUNCTION: EMERGENCY BRAKING (CONTINUED 3)
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, make sure 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.

1Parking brake
assistPR005:Force setting In rest position:
X = 0 N
When applying the brake
on a level surface:
400 < X < 550 N
When fully applied (lever
fully pulled for 2 seconds)
on a level surface:
1100 < X < 1150 N
Note:
depressing the brake
pedal once when the
parking brake is applied
changes the measured
value of the force (change
in the tension of the brake
cables) and the parking
brake may be over-
applied.
Interpretation of these
parameters is only valid
without any pressure
on the brake pedal.The difference between the
reference and measured values
must not be more than - 50 N or
+100N. If the measured value
does not reach or exceeds the
reference value (mechanical or
electrical fault with the control),
the electronic parking brake
computer will detect a fault
(DF025 Vehicle movement
with maximum application,
DF049 Brake application or
DF050 Mechanical jamming).
If one of these three faults is
displayed by the diagnostic tool,
use the relevant interpretation. PR004:Measured force

NOTESNone
This status means there is a + 12 V computer after ignition.
When the ignition is switched off, the status displays: ABSENT.
When the ignition is switched on, the status displays: PRESENT.
If the status does not operate as specified: disconnect the electronic parking brake computer connector to check
the insulation, continuity and the absence of interference resistance on the following connections:
Automatic parking brake computer connector
track H4
(except Laguna II, Vel Satis and Espace IV) track G4 + 12 V
track H2
(except Laguna II, Vel Satis and Espace IV) track G2 earth
Repair if necessary (see the vehicle wiring diagram).
If the connections are correct, the power is correctly supplied to the electronic parking brake computer, but the
fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRRepeat the conformity check from the start.

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.
