Diagnostics

Diagnostics can be carried out using:

HAZARDOUS APPROACH .

THE ORDERLY PROCEDURE .

Diagnostics

Diagnostics
HAZARDOUS APPROACH .
Replacing parts with the aim of discovering which component is faulty.
Asking a colleague what they usually do.
Not knowing what you are looking for .
Not using documentation .
Following the documentation without thinking and without trying to understand .
Not knowing how to correctly use the tools necessary for carrying out diagnostics.
Searching all the documentation for information.
Carrying out a series of unrelated checks
Carrying out checks on the vehicle following the wiring diagram from start to finish
Repairing the failure without knowing the cause

Diagnostics
THE ORDERLY PROCEDURE.
Knowing as much as possible about the incident.
Knowing exactly where to find the information in the documentation.
Locating the failure as closely as possible before starting the search .
Adopting a simple and consistent procedure.
Simplifying the wiring diagrams.
Simplifying the checks.
Trying to understand what you are doing and why .
Searching for the cause of the failure .
Checking the system following repair.

Diagnostics
THE N.A.L.D.R.V. METHOD
NOTING THE SYMPTOMS
Confirm the customer complaint. Note the symptoms, what is not
operating, but above all what is operating.
ANALYSING THE DATA
Study the fault finding procedure highlighting what is operating.
LOCATING THE FAILURE
Refine the search by cutting out everything that is operating from the
procedure.
Simplify the search by determining and checking the most accessible points
first.

THE N.A.L.D.R.V. METHOD

DETERMINING THE CAUSE

Look for the cause of the failure.

REPAIRING THE FAILURE

Repair the failure correctly (observe the "PEUGEOT
repair rules').

VERIFYING THE SYSTEM

Check the faulty function then the entire system.
Use the various checking procedures.

LIGHT

Left tail light and number plate light

Diagnostics
SIDE LIGHT
Before operating on the vehicle
1) Analyse the sequence of repair (if necessary confirm the customer
complaint)
2) Look for the service documentation relevant to the vehicle (Build Code, or
Chassis No.) and the corresponding wiring diagrams
3) Define the area of the search from the documentation

Application of N.A.L.D.R.V.
NOTE THE SYMPTOMS
What is operating and what is not operating

Diagnostics
NOTE THE SYMPTOMS

What is operating
Right rear lights,
left front lights,
right front lights
Indicators

reversing lights,
fog lamp
left brake
light
what is not operating

Left taillight and number plate light

Diagnostics
ANALYSE THE DATA
What is operating
Right rear lights, left front lights, right front lights. Indicators
reversing lights, fog lamp and left brake light.
therefore:
light Control under steering wheel => OK

Wire Vl23 -VO43 => OK

Fuse Fl2 => OK

Wire VO42 => OK

Fuse Fl3 => OK

Front bulbs => OK

Wire Vl3l -VO42 => OK

Wire MO42 => OK

Right rear bulbs => OK

Wire MO43 => OK

Wire M2OO => OK

Earth MOO2=> OK

Earth MOO9 => OK

Earth MOO2 => OK

Diagnostics
ANALYSE THE DATA
What is not operating :
Left taillight and number plate light.
List of possible causes
The 3 bulbs have failed
The +]2V supply is faulty
Continuity between F12 and terminal 5 (7-way white BFOO)
Wire V121- VO91 cut
Continuity between terminal 6 (10-way white) and terminal 2 (6-way white) right
Taillight Wire VO93
Continuity between terminal 5 (6-way brown) and terminal 1 (2-way white)

Diagnostics
ANALYSE THE DATA
List of possible causes
Right taillight
Wire V295
Wire V296
Wire M296
The earth is faulty
Wire M295
Continuity between terminal 2 (2-way white) right taillight &right rear
Indicator bulb earth

Diagnostics
LOCATE THE FAILURE

Amongst all the possible causes, look for those which are common
DETERMINE THE CAUSE
Examples:
1) If the cause of the failure is a cut wire, check that it was not cut
by rubbing on a protruding panel
2) If the cause of the failure is a + 12V continuity problem on the
right taillight printed circuit, check that there is no entry of water

Diagnostics
REPAIR THE FAILURE

Repair the failure correctly.

VERIFY THE SYSTEM

Complete check of the system.
