RECOMMENDATIONS - PRECAUTIONS (AUTOMATIC GEARBOX - AL 4 )
When the ECU detects an erroneous or absent value
on input or output :
- It writes the fault in memory.
- For each associated context, it writes the context of the oldest fault
in memory.
- It initiates a back-up mode strategy.
There are two types of back-up modes :
- The ECU makes replacement values available (relating to comfort,
gear selection quality, loss of functions).
- Access to emergency programme (only 3rd gear and reverse are
available)
Engines : KFV - NFU - RFN - RHZ
PROCEDURE BEFORE REPAIRS (continued)
Reading the fault codes.
Read the fault codes.
Absence of fault codes:
Carry out a measure of parameters.
Presence of anomalies:
•
YES : Carry out the necessary repairs
•
NO : Read the fault codes – engine ECU
- Carry out a road test.
Following an initialisation of the ECU, for a certain period of time
there may be an inconsistent gear selection quality (while ECU
parameters are adapting to the gearbox.
To achieve a consistent standard, it will be necessary to carry out a
road test taking in frequent gear changes (auto-adaptive laws).
