Introduction

Overview

Nearly every new road vehicle, and many older vehicles, have multiple control modules
that monitor and control different aspects of the vehicle (e.g. Engine, Transmission,
Body, Suspension, etc.). The ContiSys OBD service tool has been specifically
designed to connect to, and communicate with, a number of these control modules
and allow the user to extract information (e.g. Diagnostic Trouble Codes) which may
aid in the diagnosis of system problems.

The applications available on the ContiSys OBD service tool is dependent on the tool
purchased.

There are currently eight applications available.

preventing damage to the electrical and electronic components fitted to the vehicle.

Equipment - prior to commencing any test procedure on the vehicle, ensure that the
service tool, its harnesses and connectors are in good condition.

Polarity - always observe the correct polarity when connecting the service tool to the
vehicle battery

Before carrying out testing on a vehicle, the following procedure should always be
observed:

• Check the handbrake/parking brake is on.

• Check that neutral or park is selected.

• Keep test equipment and harnesses away from HT leads.

• Be aware of moving engine parts.

• Do not run engine in a confined space without adequate ventilation.

Communication problems

If communications cannot be established with the vehicle, follow the procedure below:

1. Check the correct system was selected from the menu.

2. Check the correct cable was used against the application list.

3. Disconnect both ends of the cable and ensure that no pins are bent or snapped.

4. Reset the control module on the vehicle by turning the ignition OFF and ON,
reconnect the service tool and try again.

If communications still cannot be established, contact the Product Support Team for
further assistance.

EOBD Application

EOBD Application

What is EOBD?

The American Environmental Protection Agency and the European government have
set targets for reducing the levels of pollution produced by passenger and commercial
vehicles. In order to ensure that these targets can be met, manufacturers are required
to build new vehicles which meet increasingly stiff emissions standards. The
manufacturers must further maintain these emission standards for the useful life of the
vehicle. In order to meet and maintain these standards the vehicles are fitted with On­Board Diagnostic systems which monitor the integrity and effectiveness of all emission
related components.

As vehicles are becoming more and more complex, many of the systems fitted to
them are being controlled by electronic control modules. Most vehicles now have
multiple control modules (e.g. Engine, Transmission, Body, Suspension, etc.) located
at different locations on the vehicle. The On-Board Diagnostic systems are integrated
into the vehicle control modules.

With so many different vehicle and component manufacturers, a common interface
was required to communicate with these control modules. In 1988, the SAE (Society
of Automotive Engineers) created a standard that defined a standard diagnostic
socket (J1962) and a set of diagnostic test signals.

With the diagnostic socket and diagnostic signals agreed, another standard was
produced that defined a universal inspection and diagnosis method to ensure that a
vehicle is performing to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications. This
standard is known as EOBD (European On-Board Diagnostics).

The fundamental requirement for an EOBD system is that in the event of an emissions
related component fault, a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) will be stored in the
memory of the control module responsible for that component, and a Malfunction
Indicator (MI) lamp will illuminate on the vehicle's instrument pack to alert the driver.
The DTC can then be retrieved using diagnostic equipment to determine the type and
status of the fault.

11

EOBD Application

Identifying compliant vehicles

All petrol engine vehicles manufactured since 2000 should be EOBD compliant. Some
manufacturers began incorporating On-Board Diagnostic systems as early as 1994,
however not all are 100% compliant. All diesel engine vehicles are expected to have
support from 2004. This means that diagnostic information, related to vehicle
emissions, may be extracted from the vehicle via the J1962 diagnostic socket using
the service tool.

The service tool can communicate with any EOBD compliant vehicle using one of the
five diagnostic communication protocols defined in the standard.

These are

• ISO 9141.

• Keyword 2000 (originally a European protocol).

• J1850 PWM (pulse width modulated) protocol used by Ford.

• J1850 VPW (variable pulse width modulated) used by General Motors in USA
designed vehicles.

• CAN (controller area network) currently being legislated for and likely to be a
principle diagnostic communication system in the future. A European protocol.

It is normally possible to tell which is used on a specific vehicle by examining the
diagnostic socket (as below), however the service tool's software will automatically
detect the protocol used on the vehicle to which it is connected.

If the diagnostic socket has a pin in the '7' or '15'

16 9

•

position, then the vehicle uses either the ISO
9141 or Keyword 2000 protocol.

• If the diagnostic socket has a pin in the '2' or '10'

CON0019

18

position, then the vehicle uses one of the SAE
J1850 protocols.

• If the diagnostic socket has a pin in the '6' or '14'

position, then the vehicle uses the CAN protocol.

Although there are different EOBD electrical connection protocols, the command set
is fixed according to the SAE J1979 standard.

12

EOBD Application

Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are divided into mandatory and voluntary codes.
Mandatory codes are allocated by the ISO (International Standards Organisation) /
SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers). Voluntary codes are allocated by various
vehicle manufacturers and are manufacturer specific and in some instances, vehicle
specific.

ISO/SAE controlled diagnostic trouble codes are those codes where industry
uniformity has been achieved. These codes were felt to be common enough across
most manufacturer's applications that a common number and fault message could be
assigned. All unspecified numbers in each grouping have been reserved for future
growth. Although service procedures may differ widely amongst manufacturers, the
fault being indicated is common enough to be assigned a particular fault code. Codes
in this area are not to be used by manufacturers until they have been approved by ISO/
SAE.

Areas within each of the fault code blocks have been allocated for manufacturer
controlled DTCs. These are fault codes that will not generally be used by the majority
of the manufacturers due to basic system differences, implementation differences, or
diagnostic strategy differences.

13

EOBD Application

Interpreting EOBD fault codes

Use the following rules to determine the basic meaning of an EOBD fault code.

P Powertrain

BBody

C Chassis

UNetwork

The first character indicates which area of the vehicle the code applies to.

0 Standard (SAE) code

1 Manufacturer's own code

The second character specifies the type of code:

1 Fuel and air metering

2 Fuel and air metering, specifically injector circuit

3 Ignition system and misfire detection

4 Auxiliary emission controls

5 Vehicle speed control and idle control system

6 Computer output circuit

7 Transmission related faults

8 Transmission related faults

If the first character was 'P' (Powertrain) then the third character identifies the specific
Powertrain system concerned:

The last two characters identify the specific fault as seen by the on-board systems.

EOBD Application

Menu options

Not all vehicle control modules will support all of the options available from the menu.
If an option is not supported the service tool will display either “Not supported” or “Not
available”. This is a limitation of the software on the vehicle control modules and NOT
a fault with the service tool.

MI Status/MIL Status

'MI Status' or 'MIL Status' displays the status of the malfunction indicator lamp for
each emissions related control module. If the status of the MI is set to On, one or more
DTCs will be stored in the vehicle's control modules and the instrument panel MI will
be illuminated.

View DTCs

This option allows any 'Stored' or 'Continuous' emission related DTCs (Diagnostic
Trouble Codes) to be viewed. If any DTC is present, it will be displayed along with the
identity of the Control Module (CM) that registered the fault.

If more than one DTC is displayed, the required DTC can be selected by using the
and keys. Press to select the DTC and display the description of the code.

Dependent upon the DTC and the vehicle manufacturer, it may be necessary to select
the manufacturer and possibly also the model of the vehicle to enable the correct
description to be displayed. This setting will be retained while the service tool is being
used for EOBD operations but can be redefined or cleared under the 'Manufacturer'
menu option.

Erase DTCs

This option will clear all 'Stored' and 'Continuous' emission related DTCs, clear
'Freeze Frame' DTCs and associated data, clear 'O2 Sensor Test' data, clear 'Non­Continuous' test results and reset the status of the 'System Readiness' tests on the
control modules on the vehicle. The service tool will then perform a 'Read DTCs'
operation to verify that the DTCs have been erased.

Live Data

This option allows the user to view the current status of the emission system
components on the vehicle and can provide a quick way of telling if a component is
working correctly.

The list of components monitored under 'Live Data' can vary between manufacturers
and even between model.

17

EOBD Application

O2 Sensor Tests

EOBD has an optional mode for monitoring the oxygen sensor test results depending
on the method used by the vehicle manufacturer to comply with the requirement for
oxygen sensor monitoring. If the manufacturer does use this mode not all tests need
to be supported. The service tool will display the supported tests and the data
associated with those tests e.g. Maximum sensor voltage for a test cycle (calculated).

View Freeze Frame

Freeze frame data is a snap-shot of live data that was stored in the control module at
the moment a Diagnostic Trouble Code was recognised. If a number of faults
occurred, then the freeze frame data stored is associated with the last fault to occur.
The DTC that generated the freeze frame data is also displayed in the data.

Non-Continuous

Some vehicle systems are not monitored continuously during normal running
conditions, e.g. catalysts and evaporative systems. These tests are manufacturer
specific, so while the results of the test will be shown, the meaning of the results
cannot.

Continuous Tests (Pending Codes)

When the 'continuous monitor' detects a failure condition in an emission-related
powertrain component or system, only once in a drive cycle, it stores a 'Continuous'
code in the control module's memory. If the continuous monitor detects the same
failure condition during the next drive cycle, it registers a DTC and illuminates the MI.

System Control

Components on the vehicle may be turned on and off, or pulsed to test their operation.
These tests are manufacturer specific and are currently seldom supported in
controllers.

Vehicle Info

Information is displayed relating to the vehicle. This may be the VIN, controller version
numbers etc., but is not supported by all vehicles.

OBD Status

Indicates to the user whether or not the controller supports OBD requirements. Not all
vehicles support this.

18

EOBD Application

System Readiness

When the ignition is turned on the vehicles control modules perform a number of tests
on the system (System Readiness tests). If the conditions are not correct for the
controller to perform the test e.g. if the engine is too cold, "Not Ready" status will be
reported. Readiness test status is also offered for inspection after communications
have been established. These may be reviewed or ignored until later.

The service tool allows the user to do continual reads of the status of the System
Readiness tests i.e. whether the test is not supported, waiting to complete or has
completed. This status can help a technician verify a repair in that they can check that
the readiness tests that may have generated a DTC have run to completion. The
following sub menu will let the user display the results in two ways.

SYSTEM READINESS

1. Show As A List

2. All On One Screen

The option 'Show As A List' will give the user the options of 'DTCs Last Cleared' and
'Current Drive Cycle'. The selection 'DTCs Last Cleared' is normally found on all
EOBD vehicles and shows the status since the last clearing of DTCs, but it may not
be valid for the current drive cycle. The option 'Current Drive Cycle' will display the
status of the tests for the current drive cycle, but this is rarely supported on vehicles
at this time.

The option 'All On One Screen' will show an abbreviated text version of the status for
all the tests since 'DTCs Last Cleared'.

In both cases the service tool is continually updating the status displayed for each test.

Tester Setup

This allows the user to select the units displayed in Live Data and Freeze Frame from
either metric or imperial. The user may also select from abbreviated text or full text
phrases. For more information, see ‘Diagnostic connector locations’, page 79.

Ford – Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system

Two Electronic Parking Brake systems are currently supported on the service tool:

Ford Focus C-Max 2003 - present:

There are two test functions available under the calibration section of the EPB menu
these are described below.

Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) calibration function test

Checks the EPB is working correctly. This test should be performed after work has
been completed on the EPB or vehicles braking system.

The test removes any air gap from the brake pads and checks the EPB pressure.

Pre-Test conditions:

• The vehicle must be stationary

• The vehicle must be on level ground

• The brake fluid level is correct

The operator will be asked to perform a number of actions before applying the EPB.
The service tool reads and displays the EPB pressure. With the EPB applied the EPB
pressure should be approximately 1100 Newtons.

The operator will then be asked to unlock/release the EPB. The service tool reads and
displays the EPB pressure. With the EPB released the EPB pressure should be 0
Newtons.

If either of the above tests fail (pressure reading not correct) the EPB assembly should
be removed and re-assembled.

Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) emergency release calibration

Checks the EPB emergency release is working correctly. This test should be
performed after work has been completed on the EPB or vehicles braking system.

Pre-test conditions:

• The vehicle must be stationary

• The vehicle must be on level ground

• The brake fluid level is correct

The operator will be asked to perform a number of actions before applying the EPB.
The service tool reads and displays the EPB pressure. With the EPB applied the EPB
pressure should be approximately 1100 Newtons.

The operator will then be prompted to pull manually on the emergency release. The
service tool reads and displays the EPB pressure. With the emergency release
activated the EPB pressure should be 0 Newtons and the vehicle should be able to
move freely.

If either of the above tests fail then the EPB assembly should be inspected and
repaired as described by the manufacturer’s instructions.

• The operator must NOT be inside the vehicle

• The vehicle must be stationary

• The vehicle must be on level ground

• Ensure the vehicle is not subject to any vibration (closing boot, bonnet, etc.)

• The vehicle must be secured with wheel locks

Note: This function cannot be performed while the parking brake system is in

maintenance mode. It should be performed when the system is in normal operating
mode.

Clear Stored Clutch Engagement Point

This function is used to reset the stored value of the clutch engagement point. It
should be used when a new Parking Brake module has been fitted or a new clutch
has been fitted. This function is only applicable to vehicles with manual transmission.

Pre-Test conditions:

• The vehicle must be stationary

• The vehicle must be on level ground

When this function has been performed successfully the Parking Brake module will re­learn a new clutch engagement point when the vehicle is next driven.

Land Rover - Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) System

Discovery III (L319) (2005 - 2009), Range Rover Sport (L320) (2005 - 2009),
Range Rover (L322) (2006 - 2009):

There are four functions available under the PBM/EPB ‘Service Brakes’ menu:

Unjam Electronic Parking Brake

This procedure should be used if one of the Parking Brake cables becomes detached
or breaks whilst the vehicle is being driven.

Pre-Test conditions:

• The vehicle must be stationary

• The engine must be running and at idle speed

After performing the procedure it is necessary for the technician to carry out checks
on the condition of the rear brake shoes and drums. If both are OK the technician
should then refer to the Land Rover technical information.

Note: Part of this procedure is to place the Parking brake into ‘Mounting Position’; in

order for the checks of the rear brake shoes and drums to be carried out. When the
vehicle is in the 'Mounting Position' a red flashing light will appear on the instrument
cluster. This indicates that the parking brake actuator is in the 'Mounting Position'. It
does not indicate a vehicle fault.

Mounting Position

The park brake must be driven to the Mounting Position if any of the following
procedures are to be performed:

• Parking Brake Shoes - Removal/Installation.

• Parking Brake Shoe and Lining Adjustment.

This procedure must be carried out if, new parking brake shoes are fitted, new rear
brake discs are fitted or if the vehicle has been mud wading (not water) for more
than 50 miles. Or if one of the brake cables has broken or become detached during
the vehicle being driven (in this case the Park brake is driven to the Mounting
Position as part of the ‘Park Brake Unjam’ procedure above).

• Changing of Parking Brake Cables (RH and LH).

If the parking brake system has completed less than 50,000 cycles it is permissible
to replace the parking brake cables. If over 50,000 cycles have been completed,
then the cables can only replaced as part of the parking brake actuator and cable
assembly. If a cable breaks or becomes detached whilst the vehicle is being driven,
the 'parking brake unjam procedure' may be required.

• Parking Brake Actuator - Removal/Installation
The purpose is to allow the brake cables to be connected or disconnected to the

brakes.

41

FastCheck

Pre-Test conditions:

• The vehicle must be stationary.

• The ignition must be on (position II).

• An approved battery charger must be connected to ensure consistent power
supply.

switch on and off twice.

Note: When the vehicle is in the 'Mounting Position' a red flashing light will appear on

the instrument cluster. This indicates that the parking brake actuator is in the
'Mounting Position'. It does not indicate a vehicle fault.

Ensure the on screen instructions on the service tool are followed precisely and in the
correct order.

Latching Position

This procedure may be necessary if the Parking Brake emergency release has been
activated, in order to re-latch the Parking brake.

Pre-Test conditions:

• The vehicle must be stationary.

• The ignition must be on (position II).

• An approved battery charger must be connected to ensure consistent power
supply.

accidentally coming on while the technician is working on it.

To Re-enable Normal Operation:

• Re-install fuse number 8 into the BJB (to re-enable the parking brake electrical
circuit).

Parking Brake Shoes Bedding-in Procedure

This procedure must be carried out if, new parking brake shoes are fitted, new rear
brake discs are fitted or if the vehicle has been mud wading (not water) for more than
50 miles:

Manual Routine:

• Start and run the engine.

• Apply the footbrake 3 times within 10 seconds and hold applied after the 3rd
application.

• Apply the electronic parking brake switch 4 times, followed by 3 release
applications within 10 seconds.

Once the Service Bedding-in procedure mode has been entered, the electronic
parking brake linings can be bedded-in by conducting 10 repeated stops from 30

- 35 km/h (19 - 22 mph), followed by a 500 metre (547 yard) interval between each
stop to allow the brakes to cool, using the electronic parking brake control switch.

• The electronic parking brake force will be increased up to the dynamic maximum
so long as the switch is held in the applied position.

• If the switch is released to either the NEUTRAL or OFF positions, the electronic
parking brake will be released,

• The electronic parking brake MUST be allowed to cool between applications, either
by driving at 19 mph (30 km/h) for 500 metres (547 yards) or remaining stationary
for 1 minute between each application.

FastCheck

Note: The electronic parking brake 'Service Bedding-in Procedure mode' will be

active for the remainder of the ignition cycle, or until the vehicle speed exceeds 31
mph (50 km/h). If the procedure needs to be re-entered, the entry actions must be
repeated.

parking brake motors) into the rear disc brake callipers. The EPB system replaces the
traditional handbrake system.

When the vehicle is stationary or when the EPB/Auto hold button is pressed the EPB
control module activates the parking bake motors on the rear wheels holding the
vehicle in place.

Pre-test conditions:

• The vehicle must be stationary

• The vehicle must be on level ground

• The brake fluid level is correct

• The parking brake is off

Note: During the process of releasing and resetting the brake pistons the ECM may

store DTCs in the EPB or ABS control modules. After completing the calibration
procedure the EPB and ABS DTC memory must be cleared.

Alfa Romeo vehicles- Mannesman VDO Dashboard (147 and GT - UK only)

For Alfa Romeo vehicles with the Mannesman VDO Dashboard (147 and GT) there is
a problem with the Dashboard which causes the 'Number of miles to Service' value
to be set to zero when a Service Reset is performed using the service tool.

When the Service Reset is performed the Dashboard stores the current mileage (or
kilometre) value, read from the Odometer, in order to calculate when the next service
is required.

However, when the Odometer is shown in miles the calculation for the distance to the
next service fails. This results in distance to the next service being displayed as zero
and the Service Reset fails to be completed.

To reset the Service Interval the following procedure must be performed:

1. Switch the Ignition ON.

2. Press the [MODE] button on the dashboard to enter the dashboard functions
menu.

3. Use the [+] and [-] buttons on the dashboard to navigate to the UNITS option and
press [MODE] to select.

4. Use the [MODE], [+] and [-] buttons to set the units to Kilometres. All other
settings should be left unchanged.

5. Use the [+] and [-] buttons on the dashboard to navigate to the END MENU option
and press [MODE] to exit the functions menu.

6. Plug the service tool into the Diagnostic Socket (using the 16-pin FAL LS CAN
harness) and perform a Service Reset by selecting FastCheck Service, Alfa
Romeo, Mannesman then Service Reset.

7. Disconnect the service tool, leaving the ignition on.

8. Press the [MODE] button on the dashboard to enter the dashboard functions
menu.

9. Use the [+] and [-] buttons on the dashboard to navigate to the UNITS option and
press [MODE] to select.

10. Use the [MODE], [+] and [-] buttons to set the units back to Miles. All other
settings should be left unchanged.

11. Use the [+] and [-] buttons on the dashboard to navigate to the SERVICE option
and press [MODE] to select.

12. 'Number of Miles to Service' should now read approximately 12500 miles.

13. Use the [+] and [-] buttons on the dashboard to navigate to the END MENU option
and press [MODE] to exit the functions menu.

14. Switch Ignition OFF.

This procedure is necessary to ensure that the value read from the Odometer by the
dashboard, when a Service Reset is performed by the service tool, is in Kilometres.
The Dashboard can then calculate the 'Number of Miles to Service' correctly.

On the European Continent this procedure is not necessary as all dashboards are in
Kilometres.

Service interval reset

CAN vehicles - (Astra-H, Corsa-D, Signum, Vectra-C and Zafira-B)

For these vehicles the Multiplexer cable (A2C59512985) or the CAN converter cable
(A2C59512664) must be used for Service interval reset.

This function should be used after a vehicle has been serviced.

The vehicle is programmed with the number of miles and days until the next service
and the Service indicator light is turned off.

The Service indicator will come on again when either the number of programmed
miles is reached or the number of programmed days is reached, whichever occurs
first.

The reset is started by selecting the 'Service' option.

To return to a previous menu, press the key.

The operator must then select the 'CAN Converter cable' if requested.

The service tool will communicate with the Instrument pack to determine the vehicle
model. If the vehicle model is unknown the operator must manually select the vehicle.

Note: Vehicle must NOT be moving during this procedure and all doors must be

closed. The service tool will check the vehicle speed to ensure that the vehicle is not
moving before starting the procedure.

Security key

To perform the reset the operator must enter a 4-digit security key into the service tool.
This code will be programmed into the vehicle to allow a Reset to be performed.

The 4-digit security key is found in the owner’s handbook on a card with the other
important codes and numbers for the vehicle (such as the VIN number and Radio
code etc.).

Corsa D

The number of miles until the next service can be selected by the user, 9000 miles or
18000 miles can be selected. The number of days until the next service is always set
at 364 days (1 year).

Astra-H / Zafira-B

The number of miles until the next service and number of days until the next service
are calculated by the service tool depending on the operators selections of the
following:

1. Country - The miles and days until next service are set to values pre-determined
by GM, depending on the Country the vehicle is being used in.

The operator must first select the Continent and then the Country.

For core European Countries (UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain,
Italy, Portugal, Holland, Austria etc.) select 'Other European Countries'.

FastCheck

2. ECO service, ECO service flex - For most core European countries the Operator
can set the vehicle to either 'ECO Service' (the standard GM service plan which
used standard GM values for miles and days until next service) or 'ECO Service
Flex' (the values for miles and days until next service are dynamically set by the
vehicle’s onboard computers, which monitor how the vehicle is being driven and
set the Service Intervals accordingly).

For ECO Service Flex Petrol vehicles the service tool will program the vehicle with
the maximum number of miles allowed by the Flex system (22000 miles) and the
maximum number of days allowed (728, or 2 years).

For ECO Service Flex Diesel vehicles the service tool will program the vehicle with
the maximum number of miles allowed by the Flex system (31000 miles) and the
maximum number of days allowed (728, or 2 years).

These are default values which ensure that the Service Indicator will come on in
either 22000 or 31000 miles or 2 years, whichever occurs first, if the ECO Service
Flex system fails for any reason.

Vectra-C / Signum

Only a straight reset is available on these vehicles. The programmed Service Interval
values of miles and days until the next service cannot be altered.

Note: The engine oil used on these vehicles is 'Long-life Oil'. When the engine oil is

changed the technician must use the 'Long-life Oil' reset option on the service tool
(see below) to reset the Engine Control Module. The technician must then select
'Service' again to restart the Service Interval Reset.

CAUTION: It is important to depress, and release, the brake pedal when prompted by
the service tool during the Reset procedure. If this is not done correctly the Reset will
not be successful.

Pre-CAN vehicles

The Multiplexer cable (A2C59512985) or the EOBD (J1962) pin-switchable cable
(A2C59512073), with switch position J2, must be used for pre-CAN vehicles

This function should be used after a vehicle has been serviced.

Citroen, Peugeot, Fiat and Lancia (Type 1)

For Citroen, Peugeot, Fiat and Lancia, the only option is to program all valves using
the following procedure:

1. When requested activate each TPMS valve in turn starting with the front left
wheel, front right wheel, rear right then rear left wheel. In order to activate the
valves, a TPMS Valve Activator Tool should be used. When activated, the valve
is forced to transmit its valve code and status to the vehicle’s body control
module.

2. When the body control module receives the transmission, it stores the tyre valve
code for the current wheel which is also indicated by the service tool.

3. When each valve code has been programmed, the service tool will show a
confirmation message, at which point you can confirm programming or abort.

Citroen, Peugeot, Fiat and Lancia (Type 2)

With these vehicles all tyres need to be inflated to 3.7 bar for programming to be
successful. In order for the valves to transmit their codes a TPMS Valve Activator Tool
should be used.

72

FastCheck

Follow the on screen instructions which indicate the order the wheels are to be
programmed in. The spare wheel is included along with the other wheels, but if this
option is not supported by the vehicle, a message will appear after a few seconds to
indicate this.

Note: Remember to reset the correct tyre pressures when finished.

Renault
General

Note: For Renault vehicles which use the ‘Renault Card Keyless Ignition System’ and

the ‘START’ button (Megane II, Scenic II etc.):

To switch the ignition on WITHOUT starting the engine:

1. Unlock the car with the remote (card).

2. Insert the card into the card reader.

3. Without pressing the brake or clutch pedal push and hold the ‘START’ button for
at least 5 seconds. The dash should illuminate and the button should be released.

All diagnostics can now be carried out.

TPMS is the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.

Each valve sensor has a unique code and is matched to a particular wheel. This is
programmed into the UCH control module. This enables a faulty wheel to be identified
(given that the receiver can identify which wheel is transmitting). The sensor emits an
RF (Radio Frequency) signal containing the valve code, status and tyre pressure. If
wheels are to be swapped around then reprogramming will need to be carried out to
identify the new position of the wheel.

Each valve sensor has a coloured ring attached to the valve nut, each colour
corresponds to a particular wheel position:

Front Left: Green

Front Right: Yellow

Rear Left: Red

Rear Right: Black

It is recommended that if tyres are moved around that the coloured rings are replaced
in the correct wheel position.

Each valve sensor will emit a signal every hour if stationary, and every 15 minutes if a
leak is present. If moving it will emit a signal every minute if no leak is present, and
every 10 seconds if a leak is present.

Note: In the live data the tyre pressures will display a default value of 3.5 bar until the

valves have been forced to transmit.

73

FastCheck

Renault (Type 1)

This feature allows the user to read and clear faults, view live data, test the TPMS
display lights and reprogram the unit via the Command Menu.

The Command Menu features are:

1. Program tyre valves - This allows the user to program 1 valve or 4 valves by

a. Manually entering the valve code from the keypad. The code is written on a

label if the sensor is new, or if the sensor is used then remove the tyre and
read the code on the sensor

b. Automatically forcing the valve to emit the code by using a TPMS Valve

Activator Tool, or deflating the tyre pressure by at least 1 bar, or rotating the
wheel by more than 20 km/h. When deflating the tyre the valve will not
transmit until 15 minutes has elapsed.

Note: If fault code 0007 is present, automatic coding will not be possible.

When using the TPMS Valve Activator Tool it should be placed resting on the
tyre under the appropriate valve. When the sensor has been excited and the
transmitted code has been received the service tool will indicate a successful
read. The option is then given to program the new code.

2. Select the winter tyre option - This is used during the winter in some countries
where the weather conditions require winter tyres.

3. Select the summer tyre option - This is used as default or during the summer
when winter tyres are changed.

4. Set control module with TPMS option - Programs the control module with the
TPMS option.

5. Set control module without TPMS option - Disables the TPMS option.

6. Set tyre pressure limits - Enables the setting of maximum and minimum tyre
pressure limits.

7. Change trigger limit.

8. Drive the actuator - Tests the TPMS display lights.

Renault (Type 2)

With these vehicles all tyres need to be inflated to 3.7 bar for programming to be
successful. In order for the valves to transmit their codes a TPMS Valve Activator Tool
should be used.

An option is given as to select the current tyre set (Summer/Winter). Follow the on
screen instructions which indicate the order the wheels are to be programmed in. After
operating the TPMS Valve Activator Tool alongside the requested wheel, if successful
a message will be displayed on the screen indicating that the valve code has been
detected and displaying the valve code. After all 4 wheel codes have been
successfully detected then an option is given to program the codes.

Note: Remember to reset the correct tyre pressures when finished.

TPMS Trouble shooting

If a valve appears to not respond when stimulated with a TPMS Valve Activator Tool,
check the following:

• The tyre valve is a TPMS valve.

• The TPMS activator tool is not pointing directly at the valve stem. The valve stem
is metal and will prevent a good RF signal. On low profile tyres, the area for the RF
to penetrate the tyre sidewall is small, carefully aim the TPMS Valve Activator Tool
half-way between the tyre rim and the tread.

• Check the batteries are not low in the TPMS Valve Activator Tool and the TPMS
valve.

• If there is no response from the valve after the checks have been made then it could
be that the TPMS valve itself is faulty.

Run-flat Reset (RPA – Tyre Deflation Detection)

The run-flat system monitors the pressure in the four mounted tyres while the vehicle
is being driven.

The system will provide an alert whenever the inflation pressure in a tyre drops
significantly in relation to the pressure of another tyre.

The following BMW vehicles have the RPA system fitted:

BMW 3 Series (E90/E91/E92/E93)

BMW 5 Series (E60/E61)

BMW 7 Series (E65/E66/E67/E68)

BMW X3 (E83)

BMW X5 (E53)

It is necessary to initiate the RPA reset process IMMEDIATELY after every tyre
pressure correction, after a tyre or wheel change or after a trailer has been attached
or detached. The reset MUST be started before driving the vehicle for the first time
after one of the above events.

When a reset is required (due to a pressure change in one of the tyres) the vehicle will
inform the driver by turning on the RPA Warning Lamp, which will glow red, and
sounding an acoustic signal.

When the RPA Warning Lamp is on but the colour is yellow this indicates that the RPA
system has failed or is malfunctioning. In this case the system must be diagnosed
using the scan function of the service tool.

The RPA reset process can be started in two different ways depending on the model.
