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

NOTESPriorities when dealing with a number of faults:
Deal with faults DF035 Undervoltage, DF055 Battery undervoltage and DF054
Battery voltage too high first, if they are present or stored.
Conditions for applying the fault finding procedure to a stored fault:
The fault is declared present after the forced + after ignition is switched on
(seeIntroduction) and an application request using the control lever.
Special notes:
The fault does not usually come from the electronic parking brake computer.
Note:
After a release request, the fault becomes stored.
Replacing the lever with the parking brake applied may cause this fault. If this fault
appears after replacing the lever, release the parking brake and carry out the
procedure again.
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 section.
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 < 3, clear the fault: do not take this fault into account.
Check that the electronic parking brake control lever connector is in good condition and also check its clips
(terminals).
Repair if necessary.
Check that there is a 12 V + before ignition supply on track 6 of the electronic parking brake control lever:
see wiring diagram.
Repair if necessary.
Disconnect the electronic parking brake control lever connector in order to check the insulation, continuity and
absence of interference resistance on the following connection:

1. DEF: Insufficient feed voltage during the command
NOTESPriority in the event of a number of faults:
Deal with fault DF055 Battery undervoltage first if it is present or stored.
Conditions for applying the fault finding procedure to a stored fault:
Apply this fault finding procedure if the fault reappears after the ignition has been
switched off and on again (+ forced after ignition feed: see Introduction) and an
application or release request using the control lever.
Special notes:
This fault is a power supply fault and does not usually stem from the electronic
parking brake computer.
This fault does not indicate computer feed undervoltage but a significant drop in
voltage to the parking brake motor while the command is being issued.
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.

Repair if necessary (see the vehicle wiring diagram).
Apply the brake and then release it (engine running) to check that during the command the voltage measured at
the fuse does not drop below 10.5 V.
Make the repairs necessary for the parking brake computer electrical supply to be correct (equal to the battery
voltage).
If the fault persists, contact the Techline.

Using the diagnostic tool, run fault finding on the multiplex network and particularly on the injection computer -
electronic parking brake computer 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 network test did not find the faulty connection, carry out a conformity check to check that the
statuses and parameters coming from the injection computer are present and correct (ET019, PR015, PR017).
If the status and parameters shown here are not correct, carry out fault finding on the injection.
If the fault is still present, disconnect the injection computer connector to check that it is good condition as well
as its clips (terminals), in particular the clips for the multiplex tracks (refer to the wiring diagram for the injection
system 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).
