DESCRIPTION OF THE FAULT-FINDING PHASES
The process described below is to be carried out in all cases of faults.
XR25 FAULT-CHECKING
This phase is the essential starting point for any intervention on the vehicle.
There are several constraints to the treatment of the bargraphs :
- A priority in the order of treatment when several bargraphs are illuminated.
- The interpretation of a bargraph depending on whether it is constantly illuminated or flashing .
1 - Order of priority
A series of illuminated bargraphs corresponding to the sensors with the same 12 V or having the same
earth, indicates a fault in this source. These priorities are dealt with in the "NOTES" section of the
fault-finding of the bargraph concerned.
2 - Input / output fault bargraphs
a) Illuminated :
The fault is present : treat the fault following the method described in the "INTERPRETATION OF XR25
BARGRAPHS" section.
b) Flashing :
Note the bargraphs displayed on the XR25.
Erase the memory of the computer and attempt to re-illuminate the bargraph: ignition on, idle speed
(or at starter speed) or by means of a road test (the "NOTES" section in the fault finding for the
bargraph concerned may help to determine the conditions under which the bargraph will illuminate).
If the bargraph has re-illuminated (fixed or flashing) :
The fault is present once again. In this case, treat the fault bargraph.
If the bargraph has not re-illuminated, check :
- the electrical lines which correspond to the flashing fault,
- the connectors of these lines (for rust, bent pins...).
- the resistance of the component found to be faulty.
- the cleanliness of the wires (insulation melted or cut, friction..).
NOTE : If the customer complaint does not correspond to the fault bargraph which is flashing
(example : Air temperature sensor fault bargraph flashing, but no customer complaint) ignore
this memorised fault and erase it.
3 - No bargraphs illuminated
If no bargraphs are illuminated on the XR25, carry out a status and parameter check. This may help in
detecting a problem.

XR25 CHECKING STATUSES AND PARAMETERS
The status and parameter check is aimed at checking the statuses and parameters which do not illuminate
any fault bargraphs if they are outside of permitted tolerance values . This phase allows :
- Faults to be found without the illumination of fault bargraphs which may correspond to a customer
complaint (example : absence of no load information causing an unstable idle speed).
- The correct operation of the injection to be checked and the risk of faults appearing shortly after the
repair to be eliminated.
This section contains fault-finding for statuses and parameters, under their test conditions
(example : fault finding for # 01 ignition on and fault finding for # 01 engine running).
If a status does not operate normally or a parameter is outside of permitted tolerance values, consult the
fault-finding page indicated in the "Fault-finding" column.
XR25 CHECK CORRECT
If the XR25 check is correct, but the customer complaint persists, the problem must be dealt with through
customer complaints.
Treatment of customer complaints
This section has fault charts, which suggest a series of possible causes of the problem.
These lines of enquiry must only be used in the following cases :
- No fault bargraph appears on the XR25.
- No faults are detected during the checking of statuses and parameters.
- The vehicle is not operating correctly
POST-REPAIR CHECK
This operation is a simple check of the repair (by a command, or by an XR25 command mode ...).
This makes it possible to check that the system upon which the intervention has been carried out is correct
electrically.
It is an introduction to the road test.
ROAD TEST
A road test is essential in order to guarantee the correct operation of the vehicle and to test the quality of the
repair. Its role is to make sure that no faults occur (or will occur) when driving.
In order to be significant, the road test is subject to special driving conditions.

Driving conditions for programming the adaptive variables:
During the road test, the engine speed must be stabilised for a few moments between:
220 < # 01 < 340 mbars
then 340 < # 01 < 470 mbars
then 470 < # 01 < 600 mbars
then 600 < # 01 < 730 mbars
then 730 < # 01 < 870 mbars
Do not exceed an engine speed of 4800 rpm
The engine must be warm (coolant temperature > 75 °C).
For this test, start from a fairly low engine speed, in 3rd or 4th gear, and apply progressive acceleration to
stabilise at the pressure required for 10 seconds in each zone.
The test must then be continued by driving normally, in a varied manner for 3 to 6 miles (5 to 10 km).

REPRESENTATION OF THE BARGRAPHS
Illuminates when a dialogue has been established with the product computer. If it remains
extinguished:
- the code does not exist,
- there is a fault in the tool, the computer or the line
REPRESENTATION OF THE FAULTS (always on a coloured background)
If illuminated, indicates a fault on the tested product, the associated text defines the fault.
If extinguished, indicates that the fault has not been found on the tested product.
REPRESENTATION OF THE STATUSES (always on a white background)
Engine off, ignition on, no operator action
The status bargraphs on the fiche are represented as the status which they should have when the engine is
off, the ignition is on and there is no operator action

Fiche n° 27 is a generic fiche used for several engines.
The different engines do not use all the bargraphs. To find out the bargraphs dealt with by the injection
computer, after having set up a dialogue with the computer, press the V and 9 buttons simultaneously.
The bargraphs dealt with will:
- illuminate permanently for non memorisable fault bargraphs or status bargraphs,
- flash for memorisable fault bargraphs.
To return to fault finding mode, press button D.
