PROCEDURE
To run fault finding on the vehicle's computers, switch on the ignition in fault finding mode (forced + after ignition
feed). Run the self-test procedure for the UPC internal relays and fuses using AC016 Electrical supply circuit
test.
Depending on the type of vehicle equipment, proceed as follows:
To cut off the + after ignition feed, proceed as follows:
Faults
Faults are declared as either present or stored (depending on whether they appeared in a certain context and have
disappeared since, or whether they remain present but have not been diagnosed within the current context).
The present or stored status of faults should be taken into consideration when the diagnostic tool is used following
the + after ignition supply being switched on (without operating 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 in the Notes section 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). WARNING
Switch off all unnecessary consumers:
–Radio navigation system.
–Switch the passenger compartment ventilation speed to 0.
–Switch off the interior lights (forced off).
With the vehicle card in the card reader, press and hold the start button (+ 5 seconds) outside starting conditions,
connect the diagnostic tool and carry out the required operations.
Press the start button twice briefly (less than 3 seconds); check that the + after ignition feed has cut (computer
indicator lights on the instrument panel go out).

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 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.
Continuity, insulation and 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.

Fault finding - System operation
General operation
The Protection and Switching Unit is involved in the following functions:
–Access - Safety.
–Air conditioning.
–Lighting.
–Wipers.
–Charging circuit.
–Oil pressure detection.
–Electric power distribution.
1 - Electric power distribution
The main function of the Protection and Switching Unit is to switch and distribute the power supply to the vehicle's
systems, actuators or computers.
Part of this function is handled within the unit, but it is not electronically controlled by the computer.
+ 12 V battery feed
The Protection and Switching Unit receives energy from the battery via the Busbar and MM connectors (tracks 6 and
4) and redistributes the + 12 V feed.
+ 12 V after ignition
The UCH sends the Protection and Switching Unit the + 12 V after ignition feed request via the multiplex network.
When the Protection and Switching Unit receives this request, it actuates the after ignition relay unconditionally. The
signal is distributed to the sensors, actuators and computers.
2 - Charge circuit
One of the main functions of the Protection and Switching Unit is managing the charge circuit.
Purpose and components:
The main function of the charging circuit is to produce and distribute the electrical energy required to operate the
various electrical consumers on the vehicle (computers, lights, etc.).
It is also used to start the engine.
The main components are a battery, an alternator and a starter motor.

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.
