Wiring check
Fault finding problems
Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring may temporarily remove the cause of a fault.
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 their 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.
Resistance check
Check the continuity of entire lines, then section by section.
Look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12 V or with another wire.
If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring harness.

5. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any material damage or personal injury:
– check the battery voltage to avoid incorrect operation of computer functions,
– use the proper tools.
6. SELF-TEST FUNCTION
Testing the various display devices consists of:
– activating the needle indicators and the LCD numerical indicators.
IMPORTANT
The warning lights are controlled via a wire connection (conventional control by means of a wire connecting the
warning light to the computer). They are not tested via the instrument panel.
To test the warning lights, use a diagnostic tool (CLIP or NXR) in warning light fault test command mode for the
computers controlling the warning light to be checked, except the low fuel level warning light, which is tested via
the instrument panel.
Failure of any of the warning lights requires the instrument panel to be replaced.

DISPLAYING THE TRIP COMPUTER PAGES AND FAULT FINDING HELP
First page: all the warning lights are illuminated with software version + clock on the trip computer page.
Second page: all the segments are illuminated on the trip computer.
Third page: Number of litres display
If an "open circuit or short circuit" fault is present, "- - -" is displayed.
Fourth page: Fuel flow in litres/hour information with the engine running.
If an "open circuit or short circuit" fault is present, "- -" is displayed.
Fifth page: Stored sensor faults, no present or stored fault displayed as "- - - - -".
– The stored and present "coolant temperature" faults are displayed as "- - -TO" for open circuit and " and
"- - -TC" for short circuit.
The "coolant temperature" faults are not significant, the "TO" fault must not be taken into account when the engine is
cold.
– The stored and present "fuel gauge" faults are displayed as " -JO- - "for open circuit and"-JC- -" for short circuit.
– The stored and present "fuel flow" faults are displayed as "D- - - -" for no fuel flow signal.
The "fuel flow" faults are to be taken into account only on the versions with the trip computer.
All the displayed faults of the "stored sensor faults" page are faults that were detected, but no longer confirmed as
present.
In case of several stored or present faults, they are all displayed on a single line.
To clear the stored faults and end the self-test procedure sequence, press and hold the odometer Reset button.

1. OPERATION OF THE NEEDLE INDICATORS
Speedometer
The vehicle speed signal is transmitted to the instrument panel by a wire link.
The information is produced by the ABS computer or a speed sensor located on the gearbox.
Engine speed indicator
The engine speed signal is transmitted to the instrument panel by a wire connection (signal provided by the injection
computer).
2. OPERATION OF THE TRIP COMPUTER
Coolant temperature bargraph
The coolant temperature signal is transmitted to the instrument panel by a wire connection.
The signal is produced by the coolant temperature sensor.
Above 115°C (inclusive), all the segments are illuminated with the warning light.
From 105°C (inclusive) to 115°C (not inclusive), six segments are illuminated.
From 80°C (inclusive) to 105°C (not inclusive), four segments are illuminated.
From 50°C (inclusive) to 80°C (not inclusive), two segments are illuminated.
No segments are illuminated when the temperature is below 50°C.
Fuel level bargraph and low fuel level warning light
The separate "low fuel level" warning light comes on when the reserve level is reached and nine segments of the
bargraph are extinguished.
The wire signal from the fuel sender is processed to calculate the fuel level and manage the warning light.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT OPERATION WHEN THE IGNITION IS SWITCHED ON:
A 3 second self-test is run on the "low fuel level" warning light when the ignition is switched on.
Case 1: if the fuel sender is connected but the fuel level in the tank is lower than the reserve threshold, the
continued illumination of the warning light after 3 seconds depends on the fuel level signal (smoothed and taking
into account recalibrations).
Case 2: if the fuel sender is not connected and it is the first time the fault appears when switching on the ignition, the
low fuel level warning light first flashes quickly for 2 seconds, then after 1 minute 40 seconds maximum (fault
detection time), the fuel level bargraph goes out, then the low fuel level warning light is illuminated continuously.
Case 3: if the fuel sender is not connected and the warning light had been illuminated before the ignition was
switched on this time, the low fuel level warning light stays illuminated, then after 1 minute 40 seconds, all the
bargraph segments go out.

Oil pressure warning light
When the ignition is switched on, the oil pressure warning light illuminates.
When the engine is running and the oil pressure is sufficient, the warning light goes out.
The oil pressure signal is transmitted to the instrument panel by a wire connection.
The signal is produced by the oil pressure switch.
3. ODOMETER
Total mileage
The total mileage is displayed as soon as the ignition is switched on.
Press the Trip computer scroll button or the Reset button to move to the next page.
Trip mileage
The trip mileage is displayed instead of the total mileage when the Trip computer or the Reset button is pressed
briefly.
Except in the following cases:
– it is reset by a long press of the instrument panel Reset button,
– resetting the trip mileage is different from resetting the trip computer (distance travelled).
Trip computer
The various sequences of the trip computer can be displayed instead of the mileage by pressing the button at the
end of the wiper stalk (Trip computer button). It is reset by a long press of the Reset button.
The signals from the trip computer are displayed after the trip mileage as follows:
–Fuel consumed (in litres per 100 km) since the last reset,
–Average consumption (in litres per 100 km) since the last reset.
This is only displayed after the vehicle has travelled 400 m.
This takes into consideration the distance covered and the fuel consumption since the last time the reset button was
pressed.

Estimated range with remaining fuel (in km).
This is only displayed after the vehicle has travelled approximately 400 m. This is the potential distance remaining
calculated on the basis of distance travelled, amount of fuel remaining in the tank and fuel consumption.
Note :
The range is no longer displayed 3 minutes after the low fuel level warning light illuminates.
–Distance travelled since the last reset.
–Average speed since the last reset.
This is displayed after the vehicle has travelled 400 m. It is obtained by dividing the distance travelled by the time
elapsed since the last reset. The time base is internal to the on-board computer.
HANDBRAKE APPLIED AND BRAKING CIRCUIT FAULT DETECTED WARNING LIGHT
– Handbrake switch.
– Low brake fluid switch.
– Electronic braking distribution fault (ONLY WITH ABS).
