5 - Exterior lighting
The Protection and Switching Unit receives lighting requests from the UCH via the multiplex network.
The computer then switches the power relays:
–side lights,
–dipped headlights,
–main beam headlights,
–front fog light.
For the operation of this function and the role of the Protection and Switching Unit in the control of this function,
(see 80D, Lighting).
6 - Wiping - Washing
The Protection and Switching Unit receives wiping requests from the UCH via the multiplex network.
The computer then switches the power relays:
–low or high-speed windscreen wiper,
–headlight washers pump relay.
–The Protection and Switching Unit also receives the windscreen wiper park position signal. Using this signal the
computer can determine whether the blade is jammed, and decide whether to stop the wiper motor to protect it.
For the operation of this function and the role of the Protection and Switching Unit in the control of this function,
(see 85A, W ipers-Washing).
7 - Oil pressure detection
The Protection and Switching Unit receives the oil pressure sensor signal and distributes it over the multiplex
network.
8 - Reverse gear engaged signal
The Protection and Switching Unit receives the reverse gear engaged position sensor signal and distributes it over
the multiplex network.

9 - Injection
The Protection and Switching Unit is involved in injection operation, relating to supplying the computer and its
sensors.
Supply malfunctions may lead to engine management customer complaints (rough idle, etc.).
10 - Fuse fault finding
The Protection and Switching Unit can detect the condition of its fuses and indicate faults using:
DF014 LEFT-HAND SIDE LIGHT CIRCUIT.
DF015 RIGHT-HAND SIDE LIGHT CIRCUIT.
DF016 LEFT-HAND DIPPED HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT.
DF017 RIGHT-HAND DIPPED HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT.
DF018 LEFT-HAND MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT.
DF019 RIGHT-HAND MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT.
DF020 FRONT FOG LIGHT CIRCUIT.
DF021 REVERSING LIGHT(S) CIRCUIT.
DF022 REAR SCREEN DE-ICER CIRCUIT.
DF023 FRONT WINDSCREEN WIPER CIRCUIT.
DF024 GAS COMPUTER SUPPLY.
DF025 AIRBAG/ELECTRIC POWER-ASSISTED STEERING SUPPLY.
DF026 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUPPLY.
DF029 STEERING COLUMN LOC/ENGINE MANAGEMENT SUPPLY.
DF030 AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
DF031 HEADLIGHT WASHERS SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
DF032 + 12 V RELAY SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
DF036 STEERING COLUMN LOCK SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
To carry out fault finding on the fuses, run command AC016 Test electrical supply circuits.
If a fuse is faulty, the associated fault becomes STORED.
Once the fuse has been replaced or the repair completed, run command AC016 Test electrical supply circuits
again to clear the fault.
Protection and Switching Unit Version
