Diagnosis

Electrical faults and certain mechanical faults detected by the electronic control unit
can be diagnosed by means of the Blink Code and diagnostic instruments.

Blink Code

The EDC is designed to provide information on engine faults. The warning light
comes on while the engine is running, to indicate a fault has occurred, which could
be:

Serious fault

Warning light on Degraded system function

Warning     light    blinking Very serious fault

 Degraded system function Loss of one or more
safety functions and possible engine stop

Information on the type of fault is given in the form of a code by the EDC warning
light consisting of a series of long or short blinks (the blink code).

To check the fault, use the diagnosis button located under the UCI compartment
hatch, which has another EDC warning light operating in parallel with the one on the
dashboard.

Fault checking/identification procedure

 Stop vehicle and switch off engine (STOP);

 Turn key to RUN (warning lights on and engine off);
 Press diagnosis button and check that the EDC warning light blinks once;
 After a short interval during which the warning light remains off, it begins to blink initially
at long intervals and then shorter.

The fault code is explained in the following pages.

For example: code 1.4 means that the warning light has given one long blink and
four short ones. The procedure should be repeated until the code of the first
indicated fault is repeated again.

 Fault memory cancellation procedure from drivers seat

 Press the Blink Code button (with key to stop);
 Turn key to RUN holding down the button;
  Wait 5 seconds;
 Turn key to stop;
 Check cancellation by reading number by means of test button.
