Fault finding - Role of components
GENERAL OPERATION
The UCH is involved in the following five functions (shared between several computers):
–Access-security function
This function is divided into three sub-functions: Access, Protection and Starting (see 82D, Access - Safety).
–Air heating and manual air conditioning function
This function is divided into four sub-functions, which are: User selection, Heating, Cold loop and Passenger
compartment ventilation (see 61A, Heating and see 62C, Manual air conditioning).
In this function, the UCH manages the heated rear screen operation indicator lights, heating controls and air
conditioning activation requests, by sending requests to the engine management computer:
–In the case of a vehicle fitted with manual air conditioning, by pressing on the air conditioning button.
–In the case of a vehicle fitted with climate control, by request from the user or the climate control computer in
automatic mode.
–Wiping function
This function is divided into two sub-functions, which are: Wiper control and Wiper power (see 85A,
Wiping-washing).
–Lighting Function
This function is divided into two sub-functions, which are: Lighting control and Lighting power (see 80D, Lighting).
–Energy management function
Note: There is no UPC on this vehicle; this function is managed by the UCH.
The system is composed of the UCH which stores the programming for electrical energy management, the starter,
the battery, and the alternator controlled via a BSS connection.
The role of this system is:
●to ensure electrical energy is supplied to the vehicle whilst respecting the dynamic performance
constraints of the engine and transmission assembly,
●to control alternator loading* and load shedding** during engine management authorisation or variation of
the electrical load,
●to ensure the quality of the on board network voltage in terms of the voltage level and variation,
●to optimise the battery charge by applying a voltage to its terminals correlating to its initial charge status
(in sleep mode) and to its internal temperature,
●to inform the engine management about the mechanical power taken from the accessories pulley, the
alternator charge rate and the rotor excitation current value,
●to run fault finding on the charging circuit: “Battery” warning light display.
*loading: This operation consists of transferring control of the vehicle's electrical consumption from the battery
to the alternator.
**load shedding: This operation consists of involving the battery in the vehicle's general electric power balance.

NOTESConditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
The fault is declared present after the starter is activated.
WARNING
When activating the starter, none of the gears must be engaged
(and the parking brake must be applied).
Check that fuse F9 (15 A) is sound and correctly fitted in the passenger compartment fuse and relay box
(component code 1016) and relay A (20 A) in the engine fuse and relay box (component code 597).
Replace the fuse if necessary.
Check the condition and connection of the UCH 24-track connector PE1 (component code 645) (tabs bent,
oxidised or broken).
Check the condition and connection of the starter relay 4-track black connector (tabs bent, oxidised or broken).
With the starter activated, check for + 12 V on connection 1B of component 645.
With the starter activated, check for + 12 V on connection AP29 of component 232.
Check the insulation, continuity and absence of interference resistance of the following connections:
Starter relay check:
●Connection code 1B between components 232 and 645.
●Connection code 1A between components 232 and 163.
●Connection code D between components 232 and 104.
●Connection code AP23 between components 232 and 1016.
If the connection or connections are faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical
wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
If the connections are correct, replace the starter relay (component code 232). (See MR 411 Mechanical
systems 16A, Starting - Charging, Starting system: Identification).
If the connections and the relay are correct, check the starter (component code 163). (See MR 411 Mechanical
systems 16A, Starting - Charging, Starting system: Identification).
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRCarry out another fault finding check on the system.
Clear the stored faults.
Deal with any other faults.

NOTESThe fault is declared present after:
Switching on the ignition, starting the engine and waiting 1 minute in the event of an
electrical or mechanical fault.
In the event of a temperature fault, run the engine until the engine cooling fans are
triggered.
Effect on system:
The fault is hidden for 3 seconds, the alternator voltage setpoint is 14.3 V and the on-
board network voltage is equal to 14.3 V if the alternator can still regulate. Regulation
resumes as soon as the fault disappears.
Effect on system:
The battery warning light comes on when the fault appears and goes out as soon as
the fault disappears.
Check for the presence, condition and fitting of the alternator belt. (See MR 411, Mechanical, 11A, Top and front
of engine, Accessories belt: Removal - Refitting).
Remove the accessories belt (MR411, Mechanical, 11A Top and front of engine, Accessories belt, Removal -
Refitting).
Check that the alternator pulley is not offset against its axis.
Check that the alternator pulley turns freely on its axis.
Check that the continuity and electrical insulation of the rotor coil is correct. Check that there is no sign of the rotor
overheating. (See MR 411, Mechanical 16A, Starting - Charging, Charging circuit: Check).
Perform a charging circuit test (see 80A, Battery).
If the fault is still present, replace the alternator (component code 103) (see MR 411, Mechanical 16A,
Starting - Charging, Alternator: Removal - Refitting).
AFTER REPAIRCarry out another fault finding check on the system.
Clear the stored faults.

battery terminals.
–Wait 20 seconds.
–For 10 seconds, the voltage of the alternator (component code 103) should be equal to 13 V +/- 0.2 V at the
battery terminals.
If the voltages are not correct (see 80A, Battery, and see 16A, Starting charging).
Run command AC130 Alternator regulation without any electrical consumers:
–Wait 20 seconds.
–For 10 seconds the voltage of the alternator (component code 103) should be equal to 15 V + /- 0.2 V at the
terminals of the alternator (between the + terminal of the alternator (component code 103) and the engine

ALTERNATOR CHARGE SIGNAL
NOTESNo faults should be present or stored.
Note:
In the event of a malfunction, the value will by 99.6% (engine running).
Depending on the battery charge status, the operating phase and the battery temperature, the UCH determines
what the voltage across the battery terminals should be.
When the battery charge drops, and PR076 Battery voltage after rest decreases, the UCH can temporarily
increase the PR075 Alternator setpoint voltage by 1 V and for a period of 15 minutes after switching on + after
ignition feed.
Before and during starting, PR075 Alternator setpoint voltage is fixed at 10.7 V.
A maximum of 30 seconds after the engine has started, the UCH sets PR075 Alternator setpoint voltage to the
optimum value calculated.
The injection computer can also control the alternator (component code 103) regulation voltage.
The injection computer sends the maximum authorised power delivered by the engine, to the UCH via the
multiplex network.
If the power available by the engine is less than the power consumed by the alternator (component code 103),
the UCH reduces PR075 Alternator setpoint voltage.
0 % < PR073 < 100 %
In the event of a fault, carry out a complete check on the battery and the charging circuit (see Technical Note
16A, Starting-Charging).
If the fault is still present, contact Techline.
