NOTESConditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
The fault is declared present after starting the engine and turning the steering wheel 
from lock to lock left to right.
Notes:
This fault causes:
Sudden loss of steering assistance with illumination of the Fault warning light + 
STOP + Beep.
Use the Wiring Diagram Technical Note for New Twingo.
Check the tightness and condition of the battery terminals (see 80A, Battery).
Check the charging circuit (see 16A, Starting - Charging).
Check the condition and position of the 80 A fuse in the engine fuse and relay box.
Check the condition and position of fuse F3 (15 A) fuse in the passenger compartment fuse box (see 81C, 
Fuse box).
With the ignition on and the engine stopped, check for a voltage equal to the battery voltage on connections BP81 
and AP23 against earth ML.
With the connectors of component 502 disconnected, check the condition and conformity of the connectors and 
their clips.
If the connector is faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for 
repair), repair the connector, otherwise replace the wiring.
With the connectors of components 597 and 1016 disconnected:
Check the continuity and insulation of connection BP81 between components 502 and 597.
Check the continuity and insulation of connection AP23 between components 502 and 1016.
Check the continuity and insulation of connection ML of component 502.
If the connection or connections are faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: 
Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
If the checks reveal no faults, check the conformity of components 597 and 1016.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any other faults.
Clear the stored faults.
Check that the EPAS is working.

Precautions for repair) repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Visually check the condition of the wiring harness of component 583 (for possible wiring damage).
If the connection or connections are faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical wiring repair, Wiring: 
Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace the steering column.
With the connectors of components 502 and 583 disconnected: check the continuity and insulation of the 
following connections between components 502 and 583:
●Connection 109F
●Connection 109Z
●Connection 109X
●Connection 109I
If the connection or connections are faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical wiring repair, Wiring: 
Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace the steering column.
Check the condition of the tabs of the connections of component 502.
Contact the Techline in the event of any nonconformity.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any other faults.
Clear the stored faults.
Check that the EPAS is working.
