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.

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.

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.

ALP 1Engine speed display at zero or inconsistent signal
Message from: injection computer
NOTESSee Wiring Diagrams Technical Note for Kangoo VLL.
Establish dialogue with the injection computer, component code 120.
Check that the engine speed signal is present and consistent.
If the engine speed signal is absent or inconsistent, carry out fault finding on the injection.
Deal with any other faults.
Check the insulation, continuity, and the absence of interference resistance on the following connection:
–H7 between components 120 and 247.
If the connection is faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical wiring repair,
Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
If the fault is still present, activate a self-test sequence for the instrument panel.
If the self-test sequence is not correct, contact the Techline.
