a receiver, depending on the coolant
temperature, and a threshold overshoot switch
illuminates the warning light on the instrument
panel when the temperature reaches 118°C.
CHECKING
Connect an ohmmeter between track 1 (K and E
engines) or track 2 (F engine) on the sensor and
vehicle earth.
Correct value : 160 to 1 250 Ω.

REMOVAL - REFITTING
Disconnect the battery and set the wheels
straight.
Remove the steering wheel and the two half cow-
lings (for vehicles with an airbag, refer to the re-
moval of the rotary switch on the following page
or section 88 for special notes on removing the
steering wheel).
Special notes for vehicles with an airbag
Before removing the assembly, the position of the
rotary switch under the steering wheel must be
noted:
- by ensuring that the wheels are straight on re-
moval so that the strip may be positioned in the
centre,
- by immobilising the rotary switch rotor using
adhesive tape.
Slacken the bolt (C) then sharply tap the screwdri-
ver to release the cone.
84
Special notes for refitting
Fit the mounting with its components, connect
the various connectors and push the assembly
back against the steering column.
Continue refitting and do not lock bolt (C) until
the two half cowlings are refitted, so that the
stalks may be aligned with the dashboard and the
instrument panel.
This operation is made easier by a cut-out section
giving access to bolt (C) in the lower half cowling.
For vehicles with an airbag, observe the re-
commendations in the section " Special notes for
the rotary switch under the steering wheel" on
the following page or section 88 (driver’s airbag).

Rotary switch under steering wheel
Special notes for refitting
Ensure the wheels are still straight.
Ensure the rotary switch under the steering wheel
is still immobilised before refitting.
If there is any doubt follow the method for cen-
tring described in section 88 "driver’s airbag".
Renew the steering wheel bolt each time it is re-
moved (pre-bonded bolt).
Observe the correct tightening torque (4.5
daN.m).

IMPORTANT
Before reconnecting the driver’s airbag cushion,
check to see if the system is operating correctly as
follows:
•check the airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is illuminated when the
ignition is on,
•connect a dummy ignition module to the
driver’s airbag connector and check that the
warning light extinguishes,
•switch the ignition off, connect the airbag
cushion in place of the dummy ignition module
and secure the cushion to the steering wheel,
•switch the ignition on. Check the warning light
illuminates for three seconds when the ignition
is switched on then extinguishes and remains
extinguished.
If the warning light does not operate exactly as
described above, refer to the fault finding section
and test the system using the XRBAG (Elé. 1288)
(see section 88).
IMPORTANT: if these instructions are not obser-
ved, the systems may not operate normally and
may be incorrectly triggered.

WIRING
Remote control for door locking
88
Ignition off:
1.Press and hold the central door locking button
for a few seconds until the doors lock and un-
lock.
From this moment, the operator has 10 se-
conds to carry out the next operation.
NOTE: The 10 seconds are shown by the illu-
mination of the red immobiliser warning light
(if fitted) and bargraph 17 LH on the XR25
(code
D56, fiche n° 56).
2.Press the remote control twice (the doors lock
and unlock and the red warning light extin-
guishes, if fitted).
NOTE : If both remote controls (if fitted) are
desynchronised, two resynchronisation proce-
dures will have to be carried out (one for each
remote control).
IMPORTANT: To ensure that the infrared code
is correctly transmitted it is essential to direct
the transmitter correctly towards the receiver.
If the procedure fails it will be necessary to
restart from the beginning (infrared remote
control only).
3.The procedure is complete - check that the
doors lock correctly.
Removal - Refitting
The dashboard must be partially removed to re-
move the decoder unit.
Remove:
- the steering wheel with the wheels straight,
- the half cowlings under the steering wheel,
- the knee protector under the steering column,
- the lights and wiper controls,
- the instrument panel surround,
- the instrument panel,
- the ashtray, its mounting and the two dash-
board mounting bolts on the heating unit,
- the trim at the bottom of the dashboard on the
driver’s side,
- the two speaker grilles on the dashboard,
- the dashboard mountings.
THE DECODER UNIT
The decoder unit is located in the left hand side of
the dashboard (A).

This bornier is connected instead of the computer,
fitted with a single 30-track connector.
It enables all the ignition lines to be checked by
means of the XRBAG, the supply voltage of the
computer to be measured, and the airbag war-
ning light on the instrument panel to be illumina-
ted.
Terminals also enable the continuity checks to be
carried out on the diagnostic lines, the warning
light lines and the feed to the computer (see sec-
tion on fault finding).
XRBAG TEST UNIT (Elé. 1288)
96833G
This unit is a tool specifically designed for testing
and fault finding on airbag devices and seat belt
pretensioners.
It enables electrical measurements to be carried
out on the different lines in the systems.
(See "fault finding" section).
IMPORTANT: It is not permitted to carry out mea-
surements on these systems with an ohmmeter or
any other electrical measuring instrument: there
is a risk of triggering due to the operating current
of the instrument.
