If a gearbox malfunction occurs, there are two possible
configurations depending on the seriousness of the fault:
Gearbox in backup mode with a replacement programme of
(the
fault values are taken in substitution).
Gearbox in backup mode with an emergency programme (3rd
hydraulic).WARNING:In the emergency programme, an impact is felt
when changing P/R, N/R and N/D.
Réception client.
Discuss with the customer, to find out all the malfunction symptoms.Oil quality Oil level.
Oil quality.
If the gearbox has suffered a serious fault resulting in a malfunction
or the destruction of a clutch, the oil will overheat and become
contaminated with impurities: the oil is said to be
«burnt».
This is characterised by a black colour and the presence of an
unpleasant smell.
ESSENTIAL: The gearbox must be replaced.
Oil level (see corresponding operation).
An excessive oil level can result in the following consequences:
Excessive heating of the oil.
Oil leaks.
An insufficent level causes the destruction of the gearbox.
Top up the level of oil in the gearbox (if necessary).
Check using a diagnostic tool.
Read the fault codes
(engine and gearbox).
Absence of fault codes.Carry out parameter measures, actuator tests and a road test.
Presence of fault codes.Carry out the necessary repairs.
Delete the fault codes.
Carry out a road test to check the repair and, if need be, modify the
gearbox ECU parameters
(this is essential after an initialisation
of the ECU).

If the front of the vehicle cannot be raised:
IMPERATIVE: Put gear lever in position «N».
Do not add any oil.
Do not exceed
30 mphover a distance of 30 milesof maximum.
Driving.
Never drive with the ignition switched off.
Never push the vehicle to try to start it
(impossible with an automatic gearbox).
NOTE:The automatic gearbox is only lubricated when the engine is
running.
Repairs on electrical components.
Do not disconnect:
The battery when the engine is running.
The ECU when the ignition is switched on.
Before reconnecting a switch,check: The condition of the various contacts (for deformation, corrosion etc).
The presence and condition of the mechanical locking.
When performing electrical checks: The battery should be correctly charged.
Never use a voltage source higher than 16V.
Never use a test lamp.
