Procedure (continued)
Espace IV ph2: To save energy, the UCH on the Espace IV Phase 2 cuts out the + after ignition feed 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 and hold the Start button for over 5 seconds until the engine immobiliser warning light starts to flash 
rapidly (4 Hz).
This "forced + after ignition feed" mode remains on for 1 hour.
Pressing the Start button or removing the card from the card reader cuts off the + after ignition feed but does not cut 
off the forced after ignition feed timed mode. Until one hour has elapsed, activating the + after ignition feed will 
restart forced + after ignition feed for the remaining time.
Trafic II ph2 and Kangoo 2:
To run fault finding on the vehicle computers, switch on the forced + after ignition feed.
Faults
Faults are displayed as present or stored (they appeared in a certain context and have since disappeared, or they 
are still present but cannot be diagnosed in the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used after the 
+ after ignition feed is switched on (without acting on the system components).
For a present fault, apply the procedure described in the Interpretation of faults section.
For a stored fault, note the faults displayed and apply the instructions in the Notes section.
If the fault is confirmed when the instructions are applied, the fault is present. Deal with the fault.
If the fault is not confirmed, check:
–the electrical lines which correspond to the fault,
–the connectors on these lines (corrosion, bent pins, etc.),
–the resistance of the component detected as faulty,
–the condition of the wires (melted or split insulation, wear).

Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool because the 
data is inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to: 
–carry out fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer 
complaint.
–check that the system is operating correctly and that there is no risk of a fault recurring after repair.
This section gives the fault finding procedures for statuses and parameters and the conditions for checking them.
If a status is not behaving normally or a parameter is outside the permitted tolerance values, consult the 
corresponding fault finding page.
Customer complaints - Fault finding chart
If the test with the diagnostic tool is OK but the customer complaint is still present, the fault should be processed by 
customer complaints.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the 
form of a flow chart

4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (continued)
Wiring check
Fault finding problems
Disconnecting the connectors and/or handling the wiring harness 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 the 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 to another wire.
If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring harness.

5. FAULT FINDING LOG
You will always be asked for this log:
●when requesting technical assistance from Techline,
●for approval requests when replacing parts for which approval is mandatory,
●to be attached to monitored parts for which reimbursement is requested. The log is needed for warranty 
reimbursement, and enables better analysis of the parts removed.
6. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any damage or injury:
–check the battery voltage to avoid incorrect operation of computer functions,
–use the proper tools. IMPORTANT!IMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system requires thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools. The 
FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the procedure, enables you to keep 
track of the procedure which is carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the 
manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE ESSENTIAL THAT THE FAULT FINDING LOG IS FILLED OUT EVERY TIME IT IS 
REQUESTED BY TECHLINE OR THE WARRANTY RETURNS DEPARTMENT
