Faults
Faults are declared present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but are not diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be considered when using the diagnostic tool after the + after ignition
feed is switched on (without any action 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 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 for these lines (for oxidation, 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 when 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 repairs.
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 synopsis of the general 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 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 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 with 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 fault finding procedure, ensures a
record is kept of the procedure carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the
manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE MANDATORY TO FILL OUT A FAULT FINDING LOG EACH TIME FAULT FINDING IS
CARRIED OUT.

Fault finding - Role of components
Role of main automatic transmission components
Automatic transmission computer:
The gearbox computer is used to manage the entire system.
Its role is to define the optimum operating mode for the automatic transmission (modify the torque transmitted to the
drive wheels by the automatic transmission), inform the driver (instrument panel, information display, buzzer) and
communicate with the other computers.
To carry out this function, the transmission computer takes account of:
–the operation of the gearbox,
–signals exchanged with other computers,
–driver requests.
Transmission oil temperature sensor:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer of the transmission oil temperature.
Transmission input speed sensor:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer of the turbine speed.
Transmission output speed sensor:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer of the vehicle speed.
Brake light switch:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer that the driver has depressed the brake pedal.
Multifunction switch:
Its role is to inform the automatic transmission computer of the gear lever position.
Shift-lock:
The role of this function is to lock the lever in position "P" and to immobilise the vehicle when stationary.
Solenoid valves:
The solenoid valves are fitted in the factory and cannot be removed from the hydraulic distributor to ensure optimum
gearbox operation, therefore they cannot be replaced separately.
The automatic transmission has two types of solenoid valve:
–2 "all or nothing" solenoid valves,
–6 "progressive" solenoid valves.
Of these 8 solenoid valves, 7 are used to control gear changes in automatic and manual modes, and one solenoid
valve controls the oil pressure in the automatic transmission hydraulic distributor.
Instrument panel display:
The purpose of this function is to manage the transmission of multiplex line signals required for the instrument panel
display.
On the instrument panel:
–a fault warning light,
–a message on the instrument panel in case of irregularity,
–an information display: gear lever position/gear engaged/brake pedal depressed indicator light/lever position in P
or N request indicator light.
On the gear lever:
–Position: P / R / N / D / M+/-,
–Shift-lock: lever lock.
