Fault finding - Introduction87B
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 for these lines (for oxidation, bent pins, etc.),
–the resistance of the component detected as faulty,
–the condition of the wires (melted or split insulation, wear).
Conformity check
The aim of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool because the
data is inconsistent. Therefore, this stage is used to:
–carry out fault finding on faults that do not have a fault display, and which may correspond to a customer
complaint.
–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 test with the diagnostic tool is OK but the customer complaint is still present, the fault should be dealt with by
Customer complaints.
A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the
form of a flow chart.

Fault finding - Role of components87B
–Energy management function
Role of BSS connection:
This bidirectional connection located between the UCH and the alternator circulates the following signals:
–Signals sent by the alternator: rotor current value, alternator charge value and electrical, thermal and
mechanical fault statuses.
–Signals sent by the UCH to the alternator: voltage setpoint, rail setpoint and rail inhibition.
Role of the DF terminal:
The signal circulating in the DF terminal is the alternator charge signal (displayed using PR073 "Alternator
charge signal") which is used to adapt the alternator supply to the demands of the electrical consumers
(such as the passenger compartment heating resistors, heated rear screen, etc.).
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 PR075 Alternator setpoint voltage by 1 V 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 regulation voltage. The injection computer sends the
maximum authorised power delivered by the engine, to the UCH via the multiplex network. If this power supplied by
the engine is less than the power consumed by the alternator, the UCH reduces the PR075 Alternator setpoint
voltage.
The battery warning light will flash if a low battery charge is detected (no-load voltage less than 12.2 V: voltage
measured during technical use) for the first 12 miles (20 kms), then the warning light stops flashing. Also, the magic
eye of the battery (the hydrometer) is black.
–Access - Security function (see 82D, Access - Security, Role of components).
–Heating and manual air conditioning function (see 61A, Heating, Role of components and 62C, Manual air
conditioning, Role of components).
–Wiping function (see 85A, Washing wiping, Role of components).
–Lighting function (see 80D, Lighting, Role of components). Note:
At the time of user activation, if the mileage is less than 12 miles (20 kms) the charge status is used to display a
warning: this ensures that vehicles are delivered with correct batteries.

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 fault reappears as stored, contact Techline.
If the fault does not reappear, switch the lighting, wipers, vehicle locking and climate control request controls on
and off several times, then read the faults again.
If the fault is still present. Do not operate on the computer, contact Techline.
