3. RECAP

Procedure

To run fault finding on the vehicle's computers, switch on the ignition in fault finding mode (forced + after ignition
feed).

Proceed as follows:
– Renault card in the card reader (keyless vehicle scenario 1, standard, not hands-free and scenario 2, top of
the range, hands-free),

– hold down the Start button (more than 5 seconds) outside starting conditions,

– connect the diagnostic tool and perform the desired operations.

N.B.:
The left-hand and right-hand xenon bulb computers are powered when the dipped beam headlights light up.
Fault finding can only be carried out on them after the ignition has been switched on in fault finding mode
(forced + after ignition feed) and the dipped headlights are on.

To cut off + after ignition feed, proceed as follows:

– disconnect the diagnostic tool,

– press the Start button twice briefly (less than 3 seconds),

– Ensure that the + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer indicator lights on the
instrument panel have gone out.

Faults

The present status of faults must be considered when using the diagnostic tool after switching on + after ignition feed
(without activating any system components).

Present faults must be dealt with according to the procedure specified in the "Interpretation of faults" section.

On the tyre pressure monitor system, there is no stored fault.

Conformity check

The aim of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool because it is
inconsistent. Therefore, this phase 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 treated by
customer complaints.

4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE

Procedure to be carried out before entering fault finding mode with the tool

– Are the faulty wheels equipped with valves fitted with pressure sensors, or were they so at the time of the fault?

– Check the position of the wheels on the vehicle (wheel sensor colour code). Put the wheels back in position
and program the codes of the four wheel sensors if the wheels are not in their original position.

– Check the wheel pressures with a pressure gauge. Do they match the pressures specified on the door or in
the driver’s handbook?

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

IMPORTANT
Any fault on a complex system requires thorough fault finding with the appropriate tools. The
FAULT FINDING LOG, which should be completed during the fault finding procedure, ensures a
record is kept of the procedure carried out. It is an essential document when consulting the
IMPORTANT!
manufacturer.

IT IS THEREFORE MANDATORY TO FILL OUT A FAULT FINDING LOG FOR EACH FAULT FINDING
PROCEDURE.

You will always be asked for this log:

● when requesting technical assistance from the Techline.
● for approval requests when replacing parts for which approval is obligatory.
● to be enclosed when returning monitored parts on request. The log is needed for warranty reimbursement, and
enables better analysis of the parts removed.

6. SAFETY ADVICE

Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any damage or injury:
– Make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low load.
– Use the appropriate tools.

Vdiag no.: 44-48-4C-4D-4F-50 Fault finding - System operation 35B
SYSTEM COMPOSITION

The tyre pressure monitor system consists of the following components:

– four sensors (one on each wheel but not on the spare wheel),
– a computer (UCH),
– an instrument panel display for the driver.

IMPORTANT
It is forbidden to install PAX System tyres on a vehicle without PAX System tyres as standard.
In the MEGANE II family, PAX System tyres can only be installed on the 5-seat SCENIC II.

 TYRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM
Program no.: 0B20
Vdiag no.: 44-48-4C-4D-4F-50 Fault finding - System operation 35B
SYSTEM OPERATION

– The valves are activated approximately one minute after the vehicle has been running at a speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h).
– During driving, the valves emit signals every minute.
– The valves remain activated for 15 min after the vehicle stops, then switch to standby mode.
– In standby mode, the valves emit signals only if they detect a pressure difference between two successive
measurements exceeding 68 mbar or if the pressure difference since last emitting exceeds 68 mbar (due to tyre
cooling).
– The tyres are considered to be cold when the vehicle speed has been zero for 1h 45 min.
– The minimum time for detection of a leak is approximately 15 minutes.
– The message "Inflate tyres for motorway" is displayed only if the vehicle travels at more than 102 mph
(170 km/h) (as an indication) for 3 minutes and the pressure on at least one of the tyres is 400 mbar less than the
recommended pressure at low speed. This message is inactive if the tyres are inflated to motorway pressure,
irrespective of the vehicle speed.
– Warning thresholds:
– over-inflation when cold = recommended pressure + 700 mbar
– over-inflated while warm = recommended pressure + 850 mbar
– under-inflated = recommended pressure - 400 mbar
– very under-inflated = recommended pressure - 600 mbar
– imbalance = difference in pressure between the left-hand and right-hand wheels on the same axle greater
than 500 mbar
– Information messages displayed for the driver:
– "Puncture: change tyre" + STOP warning light + wheel concerned fills in on the instrument panel display
+ buzzer.
– "Readjust tyre pressure" + the wheel concerned fills in on the instrument panel display.
– "Inflate tyres for highway" + four wheels fill in on the instrument panel display.
– "Tyre sensor inoperative" + the wheel concerned is cleared.
– "Electronic fault" + "SERVICE" warning light + the four wheels concerned disappear from the instrument
panel display.
– No display of the tyre inflation pressure on the instrument panel on MEGANE II.

VALVE - WHEEL MATCHING

Whenever wheels are swapped over, reprogram the new valve positions in the UCH by means of the diagnostic tool.

The coloured rings will then have to be placed back in the location marked on the label on the driver's door.

Ring colours:
– Front left-hand: green
– Front right-hand: yellow
– Rear left-hand: red
– Rear right-hand: black

WINTER AND SUMMER TYRES

On leaving the factory, the summer wheel set is configured in the UCH, but customers can fit their vehicle with a
winter set (winter wheels = wheel rims + sensors + special tyres).

The first time a set of winter wheels is fitted, program the codes of the four valves. Thereafter, whenever the set of
tyres is changed, recognition is automatic without having to touch the UCH.

Establishing communication between the UCH and the CLIP diagnostic tool:

– Connect the wire to the diagnostic socket and switch on the ignition.
– Switch on the diagnostic tool.
– Select the vehicle type and carry out the multiplex network test.
– Select the "Tyre" function.
– Then follow the fault finding procedure described previously.

IMPORTANT
REPLACING A UCH
In the event that a UCH is replaced, configure the UCH "With tyre pressure monitor" and program the four
wheel sensors in the new UCH using procedure SC002 "Program the four valve codes".
See section 87B "UCH", for configuration of the other equipment managed by the UCH.

Special note:
If a wheel is equipped with a tyre pressure sensor, precautions must be taken when
removing/refitting tyres.
NOTES
Failure to take the precautions specified in section 35 of the Workshop Repair Manual
could result in the sensor being damaged, and potential operating faults in the tyre
pressure monitor system.

OK: The sensor is operating correctly and the pressure is correct.

Absent: The UCH is not receiving the signal from the sensor.
Over-inflated: The sensor sends a "tyre over-inflated" signal.
Punctured: The sensor sends a "tyre severely under-inflated" signal (pressure - 0.6 bar) or a rapid
pressure loss signal.
Under-inflated: The sensor sends a "tyre under-inflated" signal.

STEP 1
Start by checking the tyre inflation and if necessary restore to the recommended pressure.
Next, to ensure that the wheel sensors are functioning properly, at each conformity check, make sure all
sensors really are transmitting. Do this by creating a tyre leak and making sure its status changes:

Original status = over-inflated deflate Final status = OK or punctured or

under-inflated

Original status = punctured or under- inflate Final status = OK or over-inflated

inflated

STEP 2
Important: wait 90 seconds before checking the change of status.
– If the original status is: over-inflated or under-inflated
See ALP 2 and 3 "Pressure adjustment".
– If the original status is: flat
See ALP 6 "Puncture: Change tyre".
– If the original status is: absent
See ALP 4 and 5 "Sensor inoperative".

If the status does not change, replace the sensor on the tyre concerned following the instructions and the code
programming procedure for the four valves SC002 "Program the four valve codes" (Configurations and
programming).

Deal with any other possible faults.

AFTER REPAIR Switch off the ignition and carry out a road test followed by a test with the diagnostic
tool.

There must be no faults present.

NOTES Carry out this fault finding procedure after finding a discrepancy between these
parameters on the display.

When communication is established, the default value of the parameters is displayed (0 bar). By creating a
leak or using a road test, force each valve to transmit to discover the actual pressure levels measured by the
sensors during the fault finding procedure.
In all cases, check that the pressures displayed on the diagnostic tool actually match the pressure-gauge
readings (to within 0.2 bar).
If the pressures are different, there are two possible scenarios:
1 st case: The parameters still display 0 bar.
This means that the wheel valve codes do not correspond to the wheel set programmed into the UCH. (When
the UCH receives the valve codes, it will not recognise them because they do not correspond to the wheel set
codes already programmed, i.e. the codes it expects). To rectify this:
Start the programming procedure with command SC002 "Program the four valve codes" (see Configurations
and programming).
2 nd case: Parameters PR003 to PR006 display incorrect values (other than 0 bar)
If the pressures differ, there is a fault on the valve. Replace the faulty valve. Follow the programming
procedure: SC002 "Program the four valve codes" (see Configurations and programming).
After programming, repeat the fault finding procedure from the beginning.

To cut off the + after ignition feed, proceed as follows:
– disconnect the diagnostic tool,
– press the start button briefly 2 times (less than 3 secs),
– confirm that the forced + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer indicator lights on the
instrument panel have gone out.

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 acting on 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 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 on these lines (corrosion, bent pins, etc.),
– the resistance of the component detected as faulty,
– the condition of the wires (melted or cut insulation, wear).

Conformity check

The aim of the conformity check is to check data that does not produce a fault on the diagnostic tool when
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 processed by
customer complaints.

A summary of the overall procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the form of a flow chart.

4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (continued)

Wiring check:

Fault finding problems:

Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring harness may temporarily remove the cause of a fault.
Electrical measurements of voltage, resistance and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is not
present when the analysis is made (stored fault).

Visual inspection:
Look for damage under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.
Carefully check the fuses, insulation and wiring harness routing.
Look for signs of oxidation.

Tactile inspection:
While manipulating the wiring harness, use the diagnostic tool to note any change in fault status from stored to
present.
Make sure that the connectors are properly locked.
Apply light pressure to the connectors.
Twist the wiring harness.
If there is a change in status, try to locate the source of the fault.

Inspection of each component:

Disconnect the connectors and check the appearance of the clips and tabs, as well as their crimping (no crimping on
the insulating section).
Make sure that the clips and tabs are properly locked in the sockets.
Make sure no clips or tabs have been dislodged during connection.
Check the clip contact pressure using an appropriate model of tab.

Resistance check:
Check the continuity of entire lines, then section by section.
Look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12 V or to another wire.

If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring harness.

5. FAULT FINDING LOG

NOTE
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
IMPORTANT
manufacturer.

IT IS THEREFORE MANDATORY TO FILL OUT A FAULT FINDING LOG FOR EACH FAULT FINDING
PROCEDURE.

You will always be asked for this log:

– when requesting technical assistance from the Techline,
– for approval requests when replacing parts for which approval is obligatory,
– to be enclosed when returning monitored parts on request. The log is needed for warranty reimbursement, and
enables better analysis of the parts removed.

6. SAFETY ADVICE

Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any damage or injury:
– make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low load,
– use the appropriate tools.

Fault finding - System operation 36B
SYSTEM OPERATION

On this vehicle, the steering system is power-assisted by an electric motor (mounted on the steering column). The
driver's actions are translated by a torque sensor, which measures the force applied to the steering wheel by the
driver, and by an angle measuring sensor. The steering wheel angle signal is used by the electronic stability program
computer for the trajectory control programming.
Assistance is provided by means of an electric motor which applies an appropriate torque to the steering column, in
one direction or the other.

A computer controls this assistance according to several vehicle environment parameters, including the vehicle
speed.

PULL COMPENSATION

Certain computer versions may have pull compensation.

Vehicle pull to the right or left is compensated for by the electric power assisted steering motor. This motor applies a
variable correction (autoadaptive) to the steering to prevent the vehicle from drifting to the left or right when driving in
a straight line.

Note:
If the computer detects a fault, the level of assistance can be modified depending on how serious the fault is.
An incorrect or absent vehicle speed signal results in assistance equal to that provided at 24 mph (40 km/h).

NOTE
Depending on the operating conditions and the operations performed on the vehicle before switching on the ignition,
the assistance system may take a certain time to be activated after engine starting; this also applies after battery cut-
off or switching off the ignition.

Fault finding warning lights illumination programming:

Slow flashing of the Service warning light at 2 Hz: the electric power steering system is in fault finding mode.

Rapid flashing of the Service warning light at 8 Hz accompanied by the Check steering message: the steering wheel
angle sensor is not calibrated and not indexed.

SERVICE warning light continuously lit with Check steering displayed on instrument panel: signal received by the
EPAS computer.
– assistance equal to that provided at a speed of 24 mph (40 km/h) if vehicle speed signal is absent or incorrect,
– angle sensor signal invalid: steering wheel angle sensor not calibrated (no active recall).

STOP warning light continuously lit with steering defective displayed on the instrument panel: fault in the EPAS
system.
If the fault is still present after repair, contact the Techline.

Angle sensor programming

The steering wheel angle sensor is initialised after the ignition is switched on. The sensor is not initialised until the
steering wheel has gone through a quarter turn left or right. If this turn is not carried out, the steering wheel angle
value reading will be 1.2 degrees higher or lower than the actual value.

Fault finding - Replacement of components 36B
Before replacing the electric power assisted steering computer, the battery must be disconnected.

Procedure to follow after battery disconnection:

Every time the battery is disconnected, the steering wheel angle is invalid (remains at 0) and status ET020 is at
Status 3.
Following a road test, this will result in a fault in the Electronic Stability Program.

Therefore, every time the battery is disconnected, turn the steering wheel a quarter turn to the left and then a quarter
turn to the right, and bring back the steering wheel to the centre point with the wheels set straight ahead and the
engine running.

If the fault is still present, stop and restart the engine without pressing the ESP button and repeat the procedure
above.

Replacing the computer:

Each time the Electric Power Assisted Steering computer is replaced, configure the computer to the vehicle (see
SC001 Computer calibration) and program the steering wheel angle sensor (VP004 Steering wheel angle sensor
programming).

Any computer replacement must be performed with the ignition off.

VP004: STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR PROGRAMMING

Procedure to be applied only on Vdiag 04.

NOTES
This programming procedure is performed after replacing the EPAS computer.

IMPORTANT
Programming the steering wheel angle sensor means programming the 0 angle (wheels straight ahead position).
It must be done for any blank computer, and every time it is requested in this note.
The absence of or incorrect programming of this sensor will illuminate the Service warning light and create an
Electronic Stability Program fault.

OPERATIONS TO PERFORM BEFORE PROGRAMMING

– With the ignition on or engine running (to obtain maximum steering assistance), turn the steering wheel to full
left lock and then to full right lock,
– position the vehicle with the wheels straight ahead and the steering at the centre point (driving in a straight line),
– run the command by pressing the CONFIRM button,
– while the COMMAND RUNNING message is displayed, turn the steering wheel a quarter turn left.
– Once the COMMAND COMPLETE message is displayed, exit fault finding mode (close dialogue with the
computer without switching off the tool) and then switch off the vehicle's ignition for 15 seconds minimum for the
programming to be registered.
Note:
To obtain a precise position with the wheels set straight ahead (driving in a straight line), this operation must be
performed on a front axle adjustment bench (especially for vehicles fitted with ESP).

OPERATIONS TO PERFORM AFTER PROGRAMMING

– Switch on the ignition and establish dialogue with the EPAS computer,
– turn the steering wheel to full left lock and then to full right lock,
– check that the programming has been properly registered: ET020 Steering wheel angle sensor programming
should be STATUS 4,
– check the conformity of the angle value by consulting parameter PR121 Steering wheel angle,
– check that there are no faults,
– carry out the necessary repairs, consulting the fault finding manual.

NOTE
If the vehicle is fitted with ESP, establish dialogue with the ABS/ESP computer after the operation; if the function
is available (depending on computer version) clear the ESP sensor programming using command RZ003.
Make sure there are no ESP faults: make the necessary repairs, consulting the fault finding manual.

CF092: Pull correction strategy

Procedure to be applied only on Vdiag 0C.

NOTES Configuration CF092 enables you to adapt pull correction to the vehicle drift observed
by the user.

IMPORTANT
– Before carrying out the configuration, check the condition and pressure of the tyres, the condition of the joints
and the axle geometries.
The pull correction strategy corresponds to a positive or negative value for correcting the vehicle pull positively or
negatively.

Calibration procedure
– connect the diagnostic tool,
– consult the fault finding procedure for Electric Power Assisted Steering;
– select configuration CF092 Pull correction strategy,
– configure the computer according to the correction strategy desired. This strategy depends on the vehicle
behaviour:
– Low L.: Power assisted steering compensates for a Low vehicle drift to the Left
– Low R.: Power assisted steering compensates for a Low vehicle drift to the Right
– High L.: Power assisted steering compensates for a High vehicle drift to the Left
– High R.: Power assisted steering compensates for a High vehicle drift to the Right
– ZERO: Power assisted steering compensates very slightly for vehicle drift to the Left or Right
– exit fault finding mode without switching off the tool (close the application only),
– switch off the ignition and wait at least 15 seconds,
– return to electric power steering fault finding mode,
– reread the configuration for confirmation (LC009).

LC009: Pull correction strategy

Low L.: Power assisted steering compensates for a Low vehicle drift to the Left
Low R.: Power assisted steering compensates for a Low vehicle drift to the Right
High L.: Power assisted steering compensates for a High vehicle drift to the Left
High R.: Power assisted steering compensates for a High vehicle drift to the Right
ZERO: Power assisted steering compensates very slightly for vehicle drift to the Left or Right

If the correction strategy is not adapted to correct the pull observed on the vehicle, modify the configuration using

LEVEL OF ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE

PR014

The assistance level is the percentage of assistance authorised by the power-assisted steering computer.
This assistance level depends:
– on the status of the vehicle engine (started or stopped),
– on the computer calibration,
– on the vehicle speed,
– on the torque applied to the steering column,
– on any system faults,
– on the steering wheel angle.

Parameter PR014 relates to EPAS motor thermal protection.

Assistance limitation due to an excessively high temperature, can be deactivated by not actuating the steering
system for at least 15 minutes.
Note:
In normal operation, with the engine running, the value displayed of PR140 should be 100 % and may fall to
approximately 15 % if thermal protection is active. It is 0 % or 99 % engine stopped or stalled.

AFTER REPAIR Carry out a road test, followed by a check with the diagnostic tool.

MOTOR THERMAL PROTECTION INDICATOR

PR119

NOTES None

The computer and assistance motor are both thermally protected. When the critical temperature is reached, the
power-assisted steering computer limits the assistance to 15 %.
This critical temperature may vary with the operation and forces applied to the steering column.

If the temperature exceeds 60 °C, do not operate the steering for 15 minutes, to allow the temperature to drop.
A search must be made to identify the cause of the temperature rise. It may arise from:
– an environment causing a temperature rise,
– abnormal use by the driver.
Note:
If the steering wheel is kept at full lock for over 5 seconds, the assistance will drop to 15 %, although the
temperature does not exceed 60°.

AFTER REPAIR Carry out a road test, followed by a check with the diagnostic tool.

– apply the ALP after a complete check with the diagnostic tool,
NOTES
– check the conformity of ET026 Computer calibration.

The vehicle loses the assistance function if the electric power assisted steering fuse is broken or the power supply
is lost.
The driver will feel the loss of the assistance on the steering wheel. Steering will then be the same as for unassisted
steering, manoeuvrable when driving even at low speed, but very difficult to manoeuvre when stationary.
Without its power supply, the power-assisted steering computer can no longer illuminate the warning light, and so
the driver is not made aware of the fault.

Check the fuses for electric power assisted steering (70A), engine (70A) and passenger compartment (5A).
Change the fuses if necessary.

Check the computer supply voltage:

Procedure

To perform fault finding on the vehicle's computers, switch on the ignition in fault finding mode.

Proceed as follows:
– vehicle's card in reader;
– press and hold the Start button (longer than 5 seconds) with start-up conditions not met;
– connect the diagnostic tool and perform the required operations.

Note:
The left and right-hand xenon bulb computers are fed when the dipped headlights are switched on. Therefore fault
finding can only be carried out on them after the ignition has been switched on in fault finding mode (forced + after
ignition feed) and the dipped headlights have been switched on.

To cut off + after ignition feed, proceed as follows:

– disconnect the diagnostic tool,
– press the Start button twice briefly (less than 3 seconds),
– ensure that the + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer indicator lights on the instrument
panel have gone out.

Fault finding - Introduction 38C

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 switched on after
the + after ignition feed (without any system components being active).

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 processed by
customer complaints.

A synopsis of the general procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the form of a
flow chart.

4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (continued)

Wiring check

Fault finding problems

Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring harness may temporarily remove the cause of a fault.
Electrical measurements of voltage, resistance and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is not
present when the analysis is made (stored fault).

Visual inspection
Look for damage under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.
Carefully check the fuses, insulators and wiring harness routing.
Look for signs of oxidation.

Tactile inspection
While manipulating the wiring harness, use the diagnostic tool to note any change in fault status from stored to
present.
Make sure that the connectors are properly locked.
Apply light pressure to the connectors.
Twist the wiring harness.
If there is a change in status, try to locate the source of the fault.

Inspection of each component

Disconnect the connectors and check the appearance of the clips and tabs, as well as the crimping (no crimping on
the insulating section).
Make sure that the clips and tabs are properly locked in the sockets.
Check that no clips or tabs have been dislodged during connection.
Check the clip contact pressure using an appropriate model of tab.

Resistance check
Check the continuity of entire lines, then section by section.
Look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12 V or to another wire.

If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring harness.

5. FAULT FINDING LOG

NOTE
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
IMPORTANT! manufacturer.

IT IS THEREFORE MANDATORY TO FILL OUT A FAULT FINDING LOG EACH TIME FAULT FINDING IS
CARRIED OUT.

You will always be asked for this log:

● when requesting technical assistance from the Techline,
● for approval requests when replacing parts for which approval is obligatory,
● to be enclosed when returning monitored parts on request. The log is needed for warranty
reimbursement, and enables better analysis of the parts removed.

6. SAFETY ADVICE

Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any damage or injury:
– make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low load,
– use the appropriate tools.
– It is forbidden to carry out a road test with the diagnostic tool in dialogue with the ECU because the ABS
and Electronic Brake Distribution functions are deactivated. Braking pressure is identical on both vehicle
axles (risk of a spin under heavy braking).

Fault finding - System operation 38C

The main functions of ABS on this vehicle are the electronic balancing of front and rear braking by controlling rear
wheel slip and preventing the brakes from locking by controlling the slipping of all four wheels.
The system also supplies the other computers with information on the vehicle speed via a wire connection for the
xenon bulbs, the radio and the electric sunroof, and via the multiplex network for the other computers. The ABS
computer supplies the multiplex network with the odometry for the instrument panel and navigation system. If heavy
braking produces very rapid deceleration, the ABS computer sends out a request to the UCH via the multiplex network
to ask it to switch on the hazard warning lights (depending on the law in the relevant country).

Fault finding - Configurations and programming 38C

Settings

VP001: Write VIN.

This command allows the vehicle identification number to be entered into the computer. Use this
command each time the computer is replaced. The VIN number (VF...) can be found on the
manufacturer's plate on the front right-hand door pillar and on the body panel under the left-hand side
of the windscreen.

VP004: Vehicle parameters.

This command is used to configure the engine type + braking definition + body type.
Select command VP004 on the diagnostic tool (it is imperative to check that the variants selected
correspond to the vehicle type).

VP006: Write date of the last After-Sales service.

Whenever the ABS system is worked on in the shop, the date must be entered.
Select command VP006 on the diagnostic tool.
Enter the operation date on the tool keypad.

VP007: Tachometric index.

This command is used to program the computer memory with the index required to calculate vehicle
speed from the speed at which the wheels turn.
The BOSCH ABS 8.0 computer supplies the vehicle speed signal to all vehicle systems that use this
information (instrument panel, engine management, etc.). This vehicle speed signal replaces the one
supplied by the speed sensor located on the gearbox. The ABS computer calculates the vehicle speed
from the speed of the wheels and the circumference of the tyres fitted on the vehicle.

Note:
The vehicle speed is sent by wire (track 23) to the xenon bulb computer, radio and electric sunroof, and
via the multiplex network to the other computers.

The tyre circumference must be programmed into the memory of a new computer. This consists of
entering an index X using the diagnostic tool and the command VP007 Tachometric index.
Once the number has been entered using the VP007 command, delete the fault in the computer memory
and then switch off the ignition. Use the parameter PR030 to check that the index entered has been
stored correctly.

VP032: Vehicle speed at initialisation.

Vehicle speed transmitted via the multiplex network when the computer is initialised.
Select "Type 1" or "Type 2" according to the information supplied by the tool.

NOTES
ABS warning light flashing at 8 Hz outside fault finding conditions.

The Bosch ABS 8.0 computer supplies the vehicle speed signal to all vehicle systems that use this information
(instrument panel, engine management, etc.).
This vehicle speed signal replaces the one supplied by the speed sensor located on the gearbox. The ABS
computer calculates the vehicle speed from the speed of the wheels and the circumference of the tyres fitted on
the vehicle.
Note:
The vehicle speed is sent by wire (track 23) to the xenon bulb computer, radio and electric sunroof, and via the
multiplex network to the other computers.
The tyre circumference must be programmed into the memory of a new computer. This consists of entering an
index X using the diagnostic tool and the command VP007 Tachometric index.
Once the index has been entered using the VP007 command, clear the computer fault memory and then switch
off the ignition.
Use the parameter PR030 to check that the index entered has been stored correctly.

If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.

Fault finding - Dealing with commands 38C

CLEARING

RZ001: Fault memory.

This command is used for clearing the computer's stored faults.

ACTUATION

AC003: Front left-hand wheel solenoid valves.

AC004: Front right-hand wheel solenoid valves.
AC005: Rear left-hand wheel solenoid valves.
AC006: Rear right-hand wheel solenoid valves.

These commands allow the hydraulics of each wheel to be checked.

Position the vehicle on a 2-post lift so that the free rotation of the wheels can be checked.
Keep the brake pedal pressed enough to prevent the wheel being tested from being turned by hand (do not brake
so hard that full brake power is reached).

Select and confirm the command for the wheel in question (e.g. Left-hand front wheel solenoid valve, etc.).

Turn the wheel in question by hand: 5 locking/unlocking cycles should be detected.

AC013: Wheel speed sensor supply test.

This command is used to check that voltage pulses of approximately 12 V are detected on the faulty
sensor by a multimeter at the terminals of the sensor connector on the computer side.
You must run command AC013 once only.

AC016: Pump motor test.

This command is used to test the pump motor control circuit.
Select command AC016 Pump Motor Test.
The motor must run for 5 seconds.

AC195: Vehicle speed signal.

This command serves to generate a speed other than 0 mph at the computer's vehicle speed wire output
(Track 23) for users of that signal (xenon bulbs, radio, sunroof).

Note:
This command has no visible effect on the dashboard speedometer needle.
– Xenon headlights: Switch on the dipped headlights and run command AC195. Check for slight
variation in the height of the headlight beam while the command is running (the height of the beam is
adjusted to improve visibility according to vehicle speed).
– Radio: Turn on the radio and make sure that the Adjust volume as a function of speed function is
active. Run command AC195. Check that the volume of the sound increases and then decreases
while the command is running.
– Sunroof: This command has no visible effect on the sunroof. This command changes the activation
threshold of the anti-pinch system (the pressure exerted by the sunroof varies with vehicle speed due
to aerodynamic factors).

AC196: Request to switch on hazard warning lights.

This command sends the UCH a request to switch on the hazard warning lights to test their operation
during emergency braking (depending on UCH configuration).

Special note:
To run fault finding on the vehicle's computers, switch on the ignition in fault finding
NOTES mode (forced + after ignition feed). Proceed as follows: with the vehicle's card in the
reader, press the start button for a long time (more than 5 seconds) without conditions
for starting being met.

Check that the diagnostic tool is not causing the fault by trying to establish dialogue with a computer on another
vehicle. If the tool is not at fault, and dialogue cannot be established with any other computer on the same vehicle,
the cause could be a faulty computer interfering on the multiplex network. Check the battery voltage and carry out
the necessary work to obtain the correct voltage (9.5 V < Battery voltage < 17.5 V).

Carry out a fault finding procedure on the multiplex network using the diagnostic tool.

Check the presence and the condition of the ABS fuses on the passenger compartment fuse board and in the
engine fuse box. Check that the computer connector is properly connected and check the condition of its
connections. Check the ABS earths (good condition, not corroded, tightness of the earth screw above the ABS
assembly). Check that the supply to the computer is correct:
– Earth on tracks 1 and 4 of the 26-track connector.
– + before ignition feed on tracks 2 and 3 of the 26-track connector.
– + after ignition feed on track 18 of the 26-track connector.

Check that the power supply to the diagnostic socket is correct:

– + before ignition feed on track 16.
– + after ignition feed on track 1.
– Earth connection on tracks 4 and 5.

If dialogue has still not been established after these various checks, contact the Techline.

NOTES Only consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.

Reminder: locking of wheels on a vehicle equipped with ABS or screeching of tyres, perceived by the customer as

ABS braking on very poor roads (significant screeching).

However, if the wheels are actually locking, lift the vehicle in order to be able to turn the wheels and check
Possible inversion when connecting the speed sensors.
Using parameters PR001, PR002, PR003 and PR004, rotate the wheels slowly and check the consistency of the
results obtained.
If the value measured is zero, rotate the other wheels to confirm an electrical inversion of the sensors and repair
the wiring harness.
Possible inversion of pipes on the hydraulic unit.
Use the AC003 Front left-hand wheel solenoid valves, AC004 Front right-hand wheel solenoid valves, AC005 Rear
left-hand wheel solenoid valves and AC006 Rear right-hand wheel solenoid valves commands while depressing
the brake pedal and check for the occurrence of 5 locking/unlocking cycles on the wheel (see the Command modes
processing section)
If the 5 cycles do not occur on the wheel tested (wheel remains locked), check whether they occur on another wheel
to confirm transposed pipes.
If the 5 cycles are not detected on a wheel and the pipes have not been subject to inversion, replace the hydraulic
unit.

Check that the sensor casing is secured when rotating.

Check the quality of the mounting of the wheel speed sensor (correct clipping without excessive play).
Check the conformity of the targets using specific command SC001 Check target teeth: status, number of teeth =
48.
If the fault is still present after these checks, contact the Techline.

To perform fault finding on the vehicle's computers, switch on the ignition in fault finding mode.

Proceed as follows:
– Vehicle's card in reader,
– press and hold the Start button (longer than 5 seconds) with start-up conditions not met,
– connect the diagnostic tool and perform the required operations.

Note:
The left and right-hand xenon bulb computers are supplied when the dipped headlights are switched on. Therefore
fault finding can only be carried out on them after the ignition has been switched on in fault finding mode (forced
+ after ignition feed) and the dipped headlights have been switched on.

To cut off + after ignition feed, proceed as follows:

– disconnect the diagnostic tool,
– press the Start button twice briefly (less than 3 seconds),
– ensure that the + after ignition feed has been cut off by checking that the computer indicator lights on the instrument
panel have gone out.

Fault finding - Introduction 38C
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 switched on after
the + after ignition feed (without any system components being active).

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 processed by
customer complaints.

A synopsis of the general procedure to follow is provided on the following page in the form
of a flow chart

4. FAULT FINDING PROCEDURE (CONTINUED)

Wiring check

Fault finding problems

Disconnecting the connectors and/or manipulating the wiring harness may temporarily remove the cause of a fault.
Electrical measurements of voltage, resistance and insulation are generally correct, especially if the fault is not
present when the analysis is made (stored fault).

Visual inspection
Look for damage under the bonnet and in the passenger compartment.
Carefully check the fuses, insulators and wiring harness routing.
Look for signs of oxidation.

Tactile inspection
While manipulating the wiring harness, use the diagnostic tool to note any change in fault status from stored to
present.
Make sure that the connectors are properly locked.
Apply light pressure to the connectors.
Twist the wiring harness.
If there is a change in status, try to locate the source of the fault.

Inspection of each component

Disconnect the connectors and check the appearance of the clips and tabs, as well as the crimping (no crimping on
the insulating section).
Make sure that the clips and tabs are properly locked in the sockets.
Check that no clips or tabs have been dislodged during connection.
Check the clip contact pressure using an appropriate model of tab.

Resistance check
Check the continuity of entire lines, then section by section.
Look for a short circuit to earth, to + 12 V or to another wire.

If a fault is detected, repair or replace the wiring harness.

5. FAULT FINDING LOG

NOTE
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
IMPORTANT! manufacturer.

IT IS THEREFORE MANDATORY TO FILL OUT A FAULT FINDING LOG EACH TIME FAULT FINDING IS
CARRIED OUT

You will always be asked for this log:

● when requesting technical assistance from the Techline,
● for approval requests when replacing parts for which approval is obligatory,
● 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 ADVICE

Safety rules must be observed during any work on a component to prevent any damage or injury:
– make sure that the battery is properly charged to avoid damaging the computers with a low load,
– use the appropriate tools.
– It is forbidden to carry out a road test while the diagnostic tool is communicating with the computer, because
the ABS and Electronic Braking Distribution (EBD) functions are deactivated. Braking pressure is identical
on both vehicle axles (risk of a spin under heavy braking).

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
Vdiag No.: 08, 09, 0A,
0B, 11
Fault finding - System operation 38C
The ESP system on this vehicle incorporates the following functions:

– ABS (anti-lock braking system). The main functions of the ABS system are electronic front and rear braking
distribution (EBD) by controlling rear wheel slip, and preventing the wheels from locking by controlling the slipping
of all four wheels.

– MSR (engine torque control). Traction control on the driven wheels under no load by limiting the engine braking.

– ASR (traction control). Limits spinning of the drive wheels during starting or acceleration phases by limiting the
engine torque and braking the wheel(s) which are spinning.

– ESP (electronic stability program). Electronic stability program limiting oversteer or understeer by braking certain
wheels and controlling the engine torque.

– CSV (understeer control). Specific control of situations involving pronounced understeer by significant vehicle
braking in conjunction with a specific dynamic stability program.

– AUTOMATIC LIGHTING OF HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS. Generation on the CAN network, for the UCH, of a
request for switching on the hazard warning lights in case of braking causing a very hard deceleration (according
to the legislation of the country).

– AUTOMATIC LIGHTING UP OF BRAKE LIGHTS. In the event of understeer control (CSV only), the ESP computer
controls the lighting up the brake lights, via a relay, to give warning of a rapid deceleration as generated by the
system (depending on national legislation).

The system also supplies the other computers with information on the vehicle speed via a wire connection for the
xenon bulbs, the radio and the electric sunroof, and via the multiplex network for the other computers. The ABS/ESP
computer provides the odometry for the instrument panel and navigation aid over the multiplex network.

IDENTIFICATION

From the outside, two factors distinguish an ABS unit from an ABS/ESP unit:
– The size of the units (the ABS/ESP unit is bigger than the ABS unit). The ABS unit has 8 solenoid valves
and the ABS/ESP unit has 12.
– The number of computer tracks (the ABS computer has 26 tracks and the ABS/ESP computer has
46 tracks).

Fault finding - Replacement of components 38C
REPLACING THE COMPUTER

When replacing the computer/pump assembly, follow this procedure:

– switch off the ignition,
– replace the computer (see MR 364 Mechanical or MR 370 Mechanical, 38C, Anti-lock braking system,
Hydraulic unit),
– enter the VIN using command VP001,
– configure the tachometric index using command VP007,
– configure the vehicle parameters with command VP004.

For Vdiag 0B or 11:

– Configure the multiplex line speed at initialisation with command VP032,

NOTE
You must ensure that the variants selected correspond correctly to the vehicle type.

– inhibit or authorise the automatic illumination of the brake lights (in accordance with national legislation)
using commands VP021 or VP022,
– enter the most recent After-Sales operation date via command VP006,
– perform a road test followed by a fault reading to confirm that the system is operating correctly.

REPLACING THE COMBINED SENSOR

When replacing the combined sensor, you must erase the programming of the ESP sensors with command RZ003 (if
available).

Note:
Run this command every time the electric power steering is removed and refitted, and each time the steering wheel
angle is calibrated in the electric power steering subgroup.

Command RZ003 ESP sensor programming, is not available on Vdiag 09, 0A, 0B, 11.

SETTINGS

VP001: Write VIN.

This command permits manual entry of the vehicle's VIN into the computer. Use this command
each time the computer is replaced. The VIN number (VF...) can be found on the manufacturer's
plate on the front right-hand door pillar and on the body panel under the left-hand side of the
windscreen.

VP004: Vehicle parameters.

Use this command to configure the engine type + braking system specification + body type.
Select command VP004 on the diagnostic tool (the variant selected must match the vehicle type).

VP006: Write date of the last After-Sales service.

The date of the operation must be entered whenever the ESP system is worked on in the
workshop. Select command VP006 on the diagnostic tool.
Enter the operation date on the tool keypad.

VP007: Tachometric index.

This command is used to program the computer memory with the index required to calculate
vehicle speed from the speed at which the wheels turn.
The Bosch 8.0 ESP computer transmits the vehicle speed signal to all areas where this signal is
needed (instrument panel, engine management, etc.). This vehicle speed signal replaces the one
supplied by the speed sensor located on the gearbox.
The ESP computer calculates the vehicle speed from the wheel speed and the tyre
circumference.

Note:
The vehicle speed is conveyed by wire (track 33) to the xenon bulbs, radio and electric sunroof,
and by the multiplex network to the other computers.

The tyre circumference must be programmed into the memory of a new computer. This consists
of entering an index X using the diagnostic tool and the command VP007 Tachometric index.
Once the index has been entered using the VP007 command, clear the computer fault memory
and then switch off the ignition. Use the PR030 parameter to check that the index has been stored
correctly.

NOTES Special notes: ABS warning light flashing at 8 Hz out of fault finding mode.

The Bosch 8.0 ESP computer transmits the vehicle speed signal to all areas where this signal is needed
(instrument panel, engine management, etc.).
This vehicle speed signal replaces the one supplied by the speed sensor located on the gearbox. The ESP
computer calculates the vehicle speed from the wheel speed and the tyre circumference.

Note:
The vehicle speed is conveyed by wire (track 33) to the xenon bulbs, radio and electric sunroof, and by the
multiplex network to the other computers.

The tyre circumference must be programmed into the memory of a new computer. This consists of entering an
index X using the diagnostic tool and the command VP007 Tachometric index.
Once the index has been entered using command VP007 Tachometric index, clear the computer fault memory and
then switch off the ignition. Use parameter PR030 Tachometric index to check that the index entered is being used
correctly by the system.

This command is used for clearing the computer's stored faults.

RZ003: ESP sensor programming (Vdiag 09, 0A, 0B and 11).

This command resets the ESP sensor programming. Run this command every time work on the
electric power steering required programming of the steering wheel angle or after any operation on
the axle assemblies. Run this command when the combined sensor has been removed or replaced.

COMMAND

AC003: Front left-hand wheel solenoid valves.

AC004: Front right-hand wheel solenoid valves.
AC005: Rear left-hand wheel solenoid valves.
AC006: Rear right-hand wheel solenoid valves.
These commands allow the hydraulics of each wheel to be checked.
Raise the vehicle in order to be able to rotate the wheels, and check that they rotate freely.
Keep the brake pedal depressed to prevent the wheel being tested from being turned by hand (do not
brake so firmly that full braking power is reached).
Select and confirm the command for the wheel concerned (e.g. Left-hand front wheel solenoid valve,
etc.)
Turn the wheel concerned by hand; 5 locking/unlocking cycles should be detected.

AC013: Test wheel speed sensor feed (Vdiag 0A, 0B and 11).
This command is used to check that voltage pulses of about 12 V are detected by a multimeter at the
sensor connector terminals on the computer side. Never run command AC013 more than once.

COMMAND (continued)

AC195: Vehicle speed signal.

This command sends a speed other than 0 mph on the computer's vehicle speed wire output
(Track 33) to users of that signal (xenon bulbs, radio, sunroof).

Note:
This command has no visible effect on the dashboard speedometer needle.

Xenon bulbs: switch the dipped headlights on and run command AC195. A slight variation in the
height of the headlight beams should be observed (depending on the vehicle speed, the beam
height is adjusted to improve visibility).
– Radio: switch on the radio and check that the speed-dependent volume control function is active.
Run command AC195. During the command, you should hear the volume of the sound increase
and then decrease.
– Sunroof: this command has no visible effect on the sunroof. This command changes the activation
threshold of the anti-pinch system (the energy required to close the sunroof varies with vehicle
speed due to aerodynamic constraints).

AC196: Request to switch on hazard warning lights.

This command sends the UCH a request to switch on the hazard warning lights to test their operation
during emergency braking (depending on UCH configuration).

SPECIAL COMMANDS

SC001: Check target teeth.

This command tests the condition of the teeth on each wheel. Select command SC001 Check target
teeth. The test result should show 48 teeth.

SC006: Bleed the hydraulic unit and brake circuits.

Use this command if abnormally long brake pedal travel is noted during a road test with ABS control
(the system must have been bled beforehand by the usual method).
Select command SC006 Bleed hydraulic unit and brake circuit, and follow the instructions given by
the diagnostic tool.

ALP 2 Locking of one or more wheels

NOTES Only consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.

Reminder: The locking of wheels on a vehicle fitted with ABS, or screeching of the tyres, which feels like locking
to the customer, may be linked to normal operation of the system and should not always be considered a fault:
– Braking with ABS intervention on very poor roads (significant screeching).

However, if the wheels are actually locking, raise the vehicle in order to be able to turn the wheels and check:
– Possible inversion when connecting the speed sensors.
View parameters PR001, PR002, PR003 and PR004 while slowly rotating the wheels concerned and check the
consistency of the results obtained.
If the value measured is zero, rotate the other wheels to confirm an electrical inversion of the sensors and repair
the wiring harness.
– Possible inversion of pipes on the hydraulic unit.
Run commands AC003 Left-hand front wheel solenoid valve, AC004 Right-hand front wheel solenoid valve, AC005
Left-hand rear wheel solenoid valve and AC006 Right-hand rear wheel solenoid valve, while pressing the brake
pedal and check that 5 braking/releasing cycles occur on the wheel concerned (see the Command mode
procedures section). If the 5 cycles do not occur on the wheel tested (wheel remains locked), check whether they
occur on another wheel to confirm transposed pipes.
If the 5 cycles are not detected on a wheel and the pipes have not been subject to inversion, replace the hydraulic
unit.

Check that the sensor casing is secured when rotating.

Check the quality of the mounting of the wheel speed sensor (correct clipping without excessive play).
Check the conformity of the targets using special command SC001 Check target teeth: condition, number of teeth
= 48.
If the fault is still present after these checks, contact the Techline.

Clear the computer fault memory.

pressure

Only consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
NOTES Warning: ABS regulation may be unresponsive when the vehicle is driven on surfaces
such as icy roads, cobbled streets, etc.

It is possible to feel brake pedal vibrations which are associated with the reaction of the system in particular
circumstances, such as:
– crossing speed bumps,
– tight cornering with lifting of the inside rear wheel.
These vibrations may be linked to simple brake limiter activation, when the pressure on the rear axle is limited.
If the fault is different, check the speed sensor connectors (micro-breaks) as well as the air gaps.

ESP warning light comes on with the message "ASR disabled" when
ALP 15 the current is switched on without pressing the ESP deactivation
button

Consult this customer complaint only if the "Service", "ABS" and "Brake" warning lights
NOTES
are not illuminated.

After disconnecting the battery, it is probable that the electric power steering loses the steering wheel angle sensor
indexing (the electric power steering no longer sends the steering wheel angle signal to the ESP, which is then
disabled).
The ESP system is not faulty, no fault is present in the fault memory, the ESP warning light comes on and the "ASR
disabled" message indicate that this situation is transitory and reversible.

To restore the electric power steering indexing and enable the ESP again, it is necessary to:
– switch on the ignition or start the engine (to have maximum assisted steering),
– turn the steering wheel slowly to full right lock, to full left lock, then return slowly to the centre point after going
slightly past it,
– the ESP warning light should then extinguish and the "ASR disabled" message should disappear,
– stop the engine and switch off the ignition,
– switch on the ignition, start the engine and see that the warning light no longer lights.

If the warning light and the message reappear, start the procedure described above again.
If the operation fails again or if this customer complaint appears without the battery having been disconnected, run
fault finding on the electric power steering and repair accordingly.

Clear the computer fault memory.
