ALP5Unexpected ABS operation at low speed and with slight pedal
pressure
NOTESOnly address this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
Important: ABS regulation is sensitive on slippery surfaces (ice, wet cobbled
streets, etc.).
Brake pedal vibrations associated with the reactions of the system may be felt in
particular circumstances, such as:
–Crossing speed bumps.
–Tight cornering with lifting of the inside rear wheel.
These vibrations also may be linked merely to activation of the Braking distributor
function, when the pressure on the rear axle is limited.
Check the conformity of the mechanical components (see MR 411, Mechanical,
30A, General information, Brake, Specifications).
If the fault is not one of the situations indicated above, check the correct connection of the wheel speed sensors,
the air gap between these sensors and the magnetic targets.
Refer to the interpretation of fault DF063 Wheel speed consistency.

ALP6 Unexpected ABS system intervention on a poor road surface
NOTESOnly address this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
Check the conformity of the mechanical components (see MR 411, Mechanical,
30A, General information, Brake, Specifications).
On poor road surfaces it is normal to feel hesitation and vibrations of the pedal as well grating which is more
significant than on good surfaces.
This gives the impression of a variation in efficiency, but this should be considered normal.

NOTESOnly address this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
Check the conformity of the mechanical components and in particular check that the
brake discs are not warped.
It is normal that the brake pedal vibrates during ABS regulation or braking pressure distribution on the front and
rear axles ("braking compensator" function).

NOTESOnly address this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
Check the conformity of the mechanical components (see MR 411, Mechanical,
30A, General information, Brake, Specifications).
Vibration of the unit: check the presence and condition of the unit mounting insulating rubber mountings.
Vibration of pipes: check that all the pipes are securely clipped in their retaining clips and that there is no contact
between pipes or between pipes and bodywork.
To identify the source of the noise, use the control commands of the solenoid valves AC003 "Front left-hand
wheel solenoid valves", AC004 "Front right-hand wheel solenoid valves", AC005 "Rear left-hand wheel
solenoid valves" and AC006 "Rear left-hand wheel solenoid valves" and of the pump AC016 "Pump motor
test".

ALP 13 Faulty brake light illumination
NOTESOnly address this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
Using the diagnostic tool, check the consistent status ET017 "Brake pedal" for pedal pressed and pedal
released.
If inconsistent, apply the fault finding procedure for status ET017 Brake pedal.
If the lights come on continuously, check the operation of component 1281 using command AC187 Brake light
activation relay. The brake lights must light only when the command is run.
Otherwise, with component 1281 removed, check the continuity between connections 65A and 65G of
component 1281.
If continuity is not guaranteed, replace component 1281.

If the connector is faulty (see Technical Note 6015A, Repairing electrical wiring, Wiring: Precautions for
repair), repair the connector, otherwise replace the wiring.
Check that component 1175 is properly mounted on the body and in the correct direction (the arrow must point
towards the front of the vehicle).
Calibrate component 583 using command VP003 Steering wheel angle sensor (see Configurations and
programming).
Clear the ESP sensor offsets using command RZ011 Sensor offsets.
Clear the faults from the computer using the command RZ001 "Fault memory".
Carry out a road test followed by another check with the diagnostic tool.
If the fault is still present:
–Adjust the axle geometry (see MR 411, Mechanical, 30A, General information, Front axle, Adjustment).
–Calibrate component 583 using command VP003 Steering wheel angle sensor (see Configurations and
programming).
–Clear the ESP sensor offsets using command RZ011 Sensor offsets.
–Clear the faults from the computer using the command RZ001 "Fault memory".
