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 present,
– connect the diagnostic tool and perform the required operations.
Note:
The left and right-hand discharge bulb computers are supplied when the dipped headlights are lit. 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.

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

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
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 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 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 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
discharge 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 with the tool keyboard.
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 a number X using the VP007 "Tachometric index" command on the diagnostic tool.
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.

CLEARING
RZ001: Fault memory.

This command is used for clearing the computer's stored faults.
ACTIVATION
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 permit a check on the hydraulics of each wheel.

Position the vehicle on a 2-post lift so that the free rotation of the wheels can be checked.
Keep the brake pedal depressed enough to prevent the wheel being tested from being turned by hand (do not brake
so hard that the anti-lock function operates).
Select and confirm the command for the wheel in question (e.g. Left-hand front wheel solenoid valve, etc.).
Turn the wheel concerned by hand: 5 braking/releasing 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 use 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).

NOTES
– with the vehicle card in the card reader, press the Start button for more than
5 seconds outside of starting conditions.
Check that the CLIP diagnostic tool is equipped with the latest update available.
Check that the diagnostic tool is not causing the fault by trying to establish dialogue with a computer on another

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.

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
locking, may be related to normal operation of the system and should not automatically be assumed to be a fault:
Braking with ABS system regulation on very poor roads (significant grating).
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 commands 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
while depressing the brake pedal and check for the occurrence of 5 locking/unlocking cycles on the wheel
concerned (see Dealing with commands)
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 the conformity of the targets using special command SC001 "Check target teeth": condition, number of
teeth = 48.

pressure
Only consult this customer complaint after a complete check with the diagnostic tool.
NOTES
Warning: the ABS is sensitive on slippery surfaces (ice, wet tiles, etc.).
It is possible to feel brake pedal vibrations which are associated with the reaction of the system in particular
circumstances, such as:
crossing rumble strips,
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.

ALP6 Unexpected ABS system intervention on a poor road surface
On poor road surfaces it is normal to feel bucking and vibration of the pedal as well as more significant tyre
squealing than on good surfaces.
This gives the impression of a variation in efficiency, but this should be considered normal.
