1. SCOPE OF THIS DOCUMENT
This document presents the fault finding procedure applicable to all computers with the following specifications:
2. PREREQUISITES FOR FAULT FINDING
Documentation type
Fault finding procedures (this document):
– Assisted fault finding (integrated into the diagnostic tool), Dialogys.
Wiring Diagrams:
– Visu-Schéma (CD-ROM), paper.
Type of diagnostic tools
–CLIP
Special tooling required
3. REMINDERS
Procedure
To save power, the UCH on the Laguna II Phase 2, Espace IV phase 1, 2 and 4, and Vel Satis phase 1 and 2
interrupts the + after ignition feed supply after 3 minutes.
To run fault finding on a computer, it is possible to force the + after ignition feed for 1 hour by applying the following
procedure:
– Press the card unlocking button,
– Insert the card into the reader,
– press the start button (interrupting the timed + after ignition feed mode),
– press the start button for more than 5 seconds, until the immobiliser warning light flashes rapidly (4 Hz).
This forced + after ignition feed mode remains active for 1 hour.
Pressing the start button or removing the card from the card reader interrupts the forced + after ignition feed, but
does not interrupt the time period for the forced + after ignition feed. Until one hour has elapsed, activating the +
after ignition feed will restart forced + after ignition feed for the remaining time. Vehicle(s): Vel Satis phase 1

Faults
Faults are declared present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but are not diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used following
the + after ignition supply being switched on (without acting on the system components).
For a present fault, apply the procedure described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the instructions in the Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the instructions are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the fault.
If the fault is not confirmed, check:
– the electrical lines which correspond to the fault,
– the connectors for these lines (for oxidation, bent pins, etc.),
– the resistance of the faulty component,
– the condition of the wires (melted or split insulation, wear).
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool when the data
is inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
– carry out fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer
complaint,
– check that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault recurring after repairs.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for statuses and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a status is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside the permitted tolerance values, consult the
corresponding fault finding page.
Customer complaints - Fault finding chart
If the test with the diagnostic tool is OK but the customer complaint is still present, the fault should be dealt with by
Customer complaints.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the
form of a flow chart.

4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (CONTINUED)
Wiring check
Fault finding problems
Disconnecting the connectors and/or handling the wiring harness may temporarily remove the cause of a fault and
create other faults.
Electrical measurements of voltage, resistance and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is not
present when the analysis is made (stored fault).
Visual inspection
Look for damage under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.
Carefully check the fuses, insulators and wiring harness routing.
Look for signs of oxidation.
Physical inspection
While manipulating the wiring, use the diagnostic tool to note any change in fault status from stored to present.
Make sure that the connectors are properly locked.
Apply light pressure to the connectors.
Twist the wiring harness.
If there is a change in status, try to locate the source of the fault.
Inspection of each component
Disconnect the connectors and check the appearance of the clips and tabs, as well as the crimping (no crimping on
the insulating section).
Make sure that the clips and tabs are properly locked in the sockets.
Check that no clips or tabs have been dislodged during connection.
Check the clip contact pressure using an appropriate model of tab.
Continuity and insulation check
Check the continuity of entire lines, then section by section.
Look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12 V or to another wire.
If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring harness.

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE
Fault finding – System operation
PRESENTATION OF THE PARKING BRAKE:
The electronic parking brake provides the following functions:
– keeps the vehicle stationary when stopped (parking brake).
– 'dynamic' emergency brake (if the main brakes fail).
– automatic braking force adjustment according to the slope (adapted application),
– electronically-assisted parking brake application when the engine is stopped (depending on configuration),
– easy start with electronically-assisted parking brake release (depending on configuration),
– manual application and release by pulling on the lever.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND OPERATION:
The system consists of the following components:
●Control lever with brake on indicator light.
– For applying and releasing the parking brake.
●Control unit (computer) housing an electric motor, the brake cable hooks, angle sensor and force sensor.
–The angle sensor controls locking according to the angle of the slope.
–The force sensor checks and corrects the force applied to the brakes.
●Clutch pedal position sensor to help with pulling away.
– Informs the computer of the vehicle's clutch position (the position of the pedal enables the torque necessary for
vehicle movement to be obtained).
●Tw o mechanical cables
– Convey the mechanical force to the rear brakes.
●Emergency control cable (in the central storage compartment on the LAGUNA, VEL SATIS and ESPACE and in
the boot on the SCENIC).
– Enables the rear brakes to be released in the event of the battery or parking brake failing.
●Warning lights and symbol on the instrument panel.
– Indicate application, releasing and any faults on the parking brake.
Note:
The parking brake cable play compensation is performed automatically by the control unit.

WARNING LIGHT MANAGEMENT
Indications of a level 1 fault:
–Check Parking Brake message on the instrument panel display.
–orange warning light (P in a triangle) on the instrument panel comes on.
–SERVICE warning light comes on.
Indications of a level 2 fault:
–Parking brake defective message on the instrument panel display.
–1-second audible warning (from the instrument panel),
–orange warning light (P in a triangle) on the instrument panel comes on.
–SERVICE warning light comes on,
–Red indicator light (brake pad light) on the instrument panel comes on.
– parking brake control lever indicator light flashes.
Warning occurs:
– when the door is opened and a gear is engaged on an automatic transmission,
– when the vehicle is moving, despite the parking brake being applied,
– when the door is opened, with the engine running and the parking brake released,
– when the door is opened, with the engine stopped and the parking brake released, Note:
When the lever warning light stops flashing, the instrument panel message disappears. If the system has a level 2
fault, whenever the lever is used, the indicator light on the lever starts flashing again and the fault message
reappears.

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE
Fault finding – Replacement of components
A/ PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING AN ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE COMPUTER
●For the description of the mechanical operations for replacing the control unit (computer) and brake cables (see
MR405 (Espace IV) or MR395 (Laguna II) or MR370 (Scénic), Mechanical, 37B, Electronic parking brake,
Control unit: Removal - Refitting and 37A, Mechanical component controls, Parking brake cables:
Removal - Refitting or MR353 (Vel Satis), Mechanical, 37B, Automatic parking brake, Control unit and
brake cables).
●The parking brake cables must always be replaced when the computer is replaced.
●In the same way, the computer must be replaced when the parking brake cables are changed.
●Conversely, the lever and the parking brake are independent of one another.
●Lever replacement must be carried out with + after ignition feed switched off and the parking brake released,
otherwise faults may occur.
●The clutch sensor must be replaced with + after ignition feed switched on to avoid a fault being provoked.
BEFORE REPLACING THE PARKING BRAKE COMPUTER:
If the vehicle has a manual gearbox, recover the clutch data from the memory of the old computer so that it can be
entered into the new computer (see section C).
Operations to perform before replacement:
– Switch on the ignition, connect the diagnostic tool and establish dialogue with the computer (parking
brake field).
– before replacing the computer, check that it is actually causing the fault by reading the faults and apply
the fault finding procedure concerned.
Steps to follow after replacement:
– with the ignition switched off, replace the electronic parking brake computer (with the approval of
Te c h l i n e ) .
– switch on the ignition, connect the diagnostic tool and establish dialogue with the computer (parking
brake field),
– apply the procedure described in section B: NEW COMPUTER CALIBRATION AND INITIALISATION,
– release the parking brake lever to reset the cables.
– check parking brake operation by testing the braking, maximum braking, and release,
– read the faults to clear any stored faults and check that replacing the computer has enabled the fault on
the vehicle to be rectified (no faults present).
– read the configuration (repair mode menu) to check that the parking brake computer configuration has
been correctly configured.
– depending on the configuration chosen, check the assisted braking and release. Note:
An electronic parking brake computer should be replaced only when requested by the Techline (fill out the fault
finding log).
Note:
With an automatic transmission, no data recovery is required (the computer can be replaced without applying
sections C and D).
Important:
Do not clear the faults from the computer before replacing it.
IMPORTANT: It is strictly forbidden to drive a vehicle with an electronic parking brake computer unless it is in
customer mode.

C/ CLUTCH DATA BACKUP (for vehicles with a manual gearbox)
Purpose of the procedure:
The data saved relates to the clutch engagement point. This is important when the clutch wears, because this data
enables the parking brake to release electronically when the clutch enables the vehicle to move off.
If this data cannot be retrieved from the old computer (impossible to establish dialogue with the diagnostic tool) or a
new clutch has been fitted, the new computer has to be programmed with the clutch engagement point: drive the
vehicle, downshifting at least 30 times (from 5
th to 4th gear) before returning the vehicle to the customer.
If the clutch data is not recorded in the new computer, the operation of the assisted brake on steep slopes will be
impaired when first used.
Perform the following operations:
– establish dialogue with the computer,
– select the repair mode menu on the diagnostic tool.
– open the programming menu,
– run function SC005 Backup clutch pedal programming (the data is written to a file that is automatically
selected when the new computer is programmed).
– replace the electronic parking brake computer (see MR405 (Espace IV) or MR395 (Laguna II) or
MR370 (Scénic), Mechanical, 37B, Electronic parking brake, Control unit: Removal - Refitting or
MR353 (Vel Satis), Mechanical, 37B, Automatic parking brake, Control unit),
– follow the procedures described in sections A and B.
D/ CLUTCH DATA ENTRY (for vehicles with automatic transmission)
The initialisation must be carried out (sections A and B).
Perform the following operations:
– establish dialogue with the computer,
– select the repair mode menu on the diagnostic tool.
– open the programming menu,
– run function: SC006 Enter clutch pedal programming.
– check that the electronic parking brake is operating correctly, including the assisted release function. IMPORTANT:
Do not apply this procedure in the event of a clutch fault.
Note:
– For vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox, command SC005 Save clutch pedal programming is
unavailable.
– Command SC006 Enter clutch pedal programming, is also unavailable if command SC005 has not already
been activated.

NOTESSpecial notes:
The fault does not usually come from the electronic parking
brake computer.
This fault indicates that the computer has detected several
losses of feed (micro-breaks).
Note:
This fault may be caused by several battery disconnections
or a vehicle power supply fault.
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,
then clear the fault:
do not take this fault into account.
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 forced
+ after ignition feed has been switched off and on again
(seeIntroduction).
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.
