Fault finding - Introduction88C
Faults
Consider the fault status, present or stored when the diagnostic tool is used after the + after ignition feed
(without operating the system components).
Present faults must be dealt with according to the procedure specified 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 notes 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).
Or use the fault finding to check the circuit of the faulty component.
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check statuses and parameters that do not produce a fault display on the
diagnostic tool when they are inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
–Run fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer
complaint,
–To 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 diagnostic tool check is in order, but the customer complaint is still present, the fault should be dealt with as a
customer complaint.
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 manipulating 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.
Tactile inspection:
While manipulating the wiring harness, 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.
Make sure 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.

AIRBAGS AND PRETENSIONERS
Fault finding - Function
The MRSZ airbag computer takes control of all of the vehicle's restraint devices intended to ensure the protection of
the occupants (driver, front and rear passengers).
The MRSZ computer is designed to carry out the following functions:
●detection and confirmation of longitudinal impacts (front or rear) and/or side impacts,
●corresponding activation of the pyrotechnic restraint devices (e.g.: pretensioner, airbag),
●management of the different signals relating to the characteristics of the occupants (e.g.: presence detection),
●management of the function inhibiting the trigger lines and the passenger sensor,
●management and surveillance of the instrument panel "Airbag Fault" and "Airbag Off" warning lights via the
CAN network,
●activation of the "Crash output" signal via the CAN in the event of a crash,
●management of the fault finding signals (signals provided by the fault manager in response to fault finding
requests, whether this consists of internal faults or input/output fault finding).
Special notes:
–Frontal impacts:
This function is carried out using the MRSZ accelerometer. Accelerometers measure the violence of the impact. The
vehicle speed, the position of the passenger airbag locking switch and the accelerometer measurements determine
the strategy that the computer adopts to trigger the ignition modules. The front seat belt buckle pretensioners and
the front airbag may also be triggered or not depending on the input parameters.
–Side impacts:
This function is carried out by the MRSZ computer and the side impact sensors, if fitted.
The position of the passenger airbag locking switch and the accelerometer measurements determine the strategy
that the computer adopts to trigger the ignition modules. The front buckle pretensioners and the front chest-level
airbags and curtain airbags may also be triggered or not.
–Inhibition of passenger trigger lines:
This function is managed by the airbag computer, according to the position of the passenger airbag inhibition switch
and depending on the vehicle context.
The change in status of the inhibition switch must be done outside of after ignition feed. A change in status of the
switch is, however, authorised for 10 seconds after the after ignition feed for the vehicle is switched on.
If a change is status occurs outside of this 10 seconds, the computer will register a fault.
Inhibition programming:
–Trigger lines inhibited and "Airbag Off" warning light lit if switch is on "OFF" 100 Ω.
–Trigger lines authorised if the switch is on "ON" 400 Ω.
–Trigger lines inhibited, "Airbag Fault" and "Airbag Off" warning lights lit if a fault is detected, if the switch is not
configured and detected as present, or if there is a change of position outside of the conditions
