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.

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.
During work on the airbag/seat belt pretensioner systems, it is vital that you lock the computer using the
diagnostic tool to prevent any risk of accidental triggering (all the trigger lines will be disabled).
The locked mode is indicated when the instrument panel warning light comes on.
If it is impossible to connect the diagnostic tool, switch off the ignition, remove the system power supply
fuse and wait at least 2 seconds for the discharge of the reserve power capacity.
Never measure the airbag or pretensioner trigger lines with any device other than XRBAG or CLIP's "Airbag
and pretensioner wiring harness check".
Before using a dummy ignition module, ensure that its resistance is between 1.8 and 2.5 Ω.
During the procedure, check that the computer feed voltage does not drop below 10 V.
Disconnect the battery before removing and refitting any pyrotechnic component (airbag module,
pretensioner or seat belt retractor).IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system requires thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools. The
FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the procedure, enables you to keep
track of the procedure which is carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the
manufacturer.
IT IS THEREFORE ESSENTIAL THAT THE FAULT FINDING LOG
IS FILLED OUT EVERY TIME IT IS REQUESTED BY TECHLINE OR THE WARRANT RETURNS
DEPARTMENT.
IMPORTANT
Airbag and pretensioner destruction and scrapping is subject to national legislation.

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

Fault finding - Replacement of components
REPLACING A SYSTEM COMPONENT
Disconnect the battery before removing and refitting any pyrotechnic component (airbag module,
pretensioner or seat belt retractor).
The computer must always be locked before any operation on a system component.
REPLACING THE AIRBAG COMPUTER
BEFORE REPLACING THE COMPUTER IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU CONTACT THE TECHLINE.
To ensure that the returned computer's fault can be analysed, do not use command RZ001 "FAULT
MEMORY" when DF001 "COMPUTER" is present or stored.
The airbag computers are sold in locked mode to avoid all risk of accidental triggering (all trigger lines are inhibited).
The "locked" mode is indicated when the airbag fault warning light on the instrument panel lights up.
Follow this procedure to replace an airbag computer:
–check that the ignition is switched off,
–replace the computer,
–modify the computer configuration if necessary,
–enter the VIN into the computer with the diagnostic tool using command VP010 "WRITE VIN",
–switch off the ignition,
–carry out a check using the diagnostic tool,
–unlock the computer with command VP007 "UNLOCK COMPUTER", only if there are no faults indicated by the
diagnostic tool and check that the indicator light has gone out.
