Peugeot 308: New vehicle preparation : Instructions for use - "MIDTRONICS" battery tester

ESSENTIAL : Observe the safety and cleanliness recommendations .

N.B. : 3 months after the deployment of the "E-XTEQ" battery tester in the country, it is mandatory to use it during New Vehicle Preparation (NVP) ; "MIDTRONICS" codes/tickets will no longer be accepted as proof under warranty.

1. Presentation

1.1. Roles of the "MIDTRONICS" battery tester

Advantages :

• To avoid any battery failures arising after handover to the customer
• To remove contraints on accessibility : Software specific to PSA enables a check to be made either on the ancillary battery terminals or on the remote terminals
• Direct reading of the diagnosis on the battery tester (BATTERY OK ; CHARGE THE BATTERY ; CHARGE AND TEST AGAIN ; REPLACE THE BATTERY)
• Perform a diagnosis based on the reading of the voltage and the state of health of the ancillaries battery
• Justify warranty credit claims by publishing a "test code" transmitted by infrared connection to the diagnostic tool (coherence between the result of the check and the action performed by the preparer) or printed via the "MIDTRONICS" printer

5. Preliminary operations

For the measurement to be reliable, perform the battery test at the start of the PDI, respecting the following mode of operation :

• Check that the BSI shunt is in the "Park" position (PEUGEOT vehicles)
• Switch on the ignition (**)
• Switch on the dipped headlamps
• Start the engine (***)
• Move the vehicle forwards into the inspection zone
• Release the bonnet using the bonnet release inside the vehicle
• Switch off the engine (****) : (Automatic extinction of the vehicle lamps (according to model)
• Switch on the ignition (**)
• Turn on the dipped beams, or place the air blower control in the intermediate position (For the following vehicles : PEUGEOT BIPPER, PEUGEOT BOXER)
• Wait 5 seconds
• Turn off the dipped beams, or stop the air blower (according to model)
• Switch off the ignition (*****)
• Switch off all the electrical consumers
• Get out of the vehicle
• Close the accesses (If accessing the ancillaries battery necessitates leaving one of the doors open, manually close the catch of the lock of the door involved, to decoy the electrical system)
• Wait 4 minutes
• Perform the battery test

(**) The switching on of the ignition differs depending on the type of vehicle :

• Standard vehicle : Place the key in the "Ignition" position
• Vehicle with hands-free starting : Press the button "START" (Without pressing on the brake pedal (automatic gearbox) or on the clutch pedal (manual gearbox))
• Electric vehicle : Turn the key to "ON" or "MAR" (according to model)

(***) Starting the vehicle differs depending on the type of vehicle :

• Standard vehicle : Turn the key to position "Start"
• Vehicle with hands-free starting : Press on the brake pedal (automatic gearbox) or on the clutch pedal (manual gearbox), and press on the "START" button
• Electric vehicle : Turn the key to "START" or "AVV" and hold it in this position until the "READY" or "vehicle ready to move" indicator lamp is lit on the instrument panel (according to model)

(****) Stopping the vehicle differs depending on the type of vehicle :

• Standard vehicle : Turn the key to position "0"
• Vehicle with hands-free starting : Press the button "START"
• Electric vehicle : Turn the key to "OFF" or "STOP" (according to model)

(*****) The switching off of the ignition differs depending on the type of vehicle :

• Standard vehicle : Turn the key to position "0"
• Vehicle with hands-free starting : Press the button "START" (Without pressing on the brake pedal (automatic gearbox) or on the clutch pedal (manual gearbox))
• Electric vehicle : Turn the key to "OFF" or "STOP" (according to model)

CAUTION : When handing over to the customer is not done following the "New vehicle Preparation (PDI)", perform any checks on the ancillaries battery with the BSI shunt in the "customer" position.

N.B. : Note down the result of the checking of the ancillaries battery on the FFA (’loose items check sheet’) so as to guarantee traceability.

6. Precautions to be taken during use

ESSENTIAL : Observe the safety and cleanliness recommendations .

6.1. Vehicles without a quickfit clip secured on the positive terminal

CAUTION : Connect the red clip of the "MIDTRONICS" battery tester on the metal component (1) close to the ancillaries battery terminals, as close as possible to the crimping of the power wire.

6.2. Vehicles equipped with a quickfit clip secured on the positive terminal (With studs)

CAUTION : Never connect the red clip from the battery tester on the locking cap (3). Connect the red clip of the battery tester on the stud (2).

N.B. : The contact surface between the extremity of the locking cap (3) and the terminal of the ancillaries battery is too weak to be able to transmit the parameters to the "MIDTRONICS" battery tester. In this case, the measurement from the "MIDTRONICS" battery tester could lead you to recharge the ancillaries battery unjustifiably.

6.3. Vehicles equipped with a quickfit clip secured on the positive terminal (Without studs)

CAUTION : Never connect the red clip from the battery tester on the locking cap (3). Connect the red clip of the "MIDTRONICS" battery tester on the metal component (4) close to the ancillaries battery terminals, as close as possible to the crimping of the power wire.

N.B. : The weakness of the contact surface close to the locking cap (3) could lead you to recharge the ancillaries battery unjustifiably.

6.4. Vehicles without a battery charge status control unit on the negative terminal

CAUTION : Connect the black clip of the battery tester on a metal component (1) close to the ancillaries battery terminals, as close as possible to the crimping of the power wire.

6.5. Vehicles having a battery charge status control unit on the negative terminal

CAUTION : Never connect the black clip of the "MIDTRONICS" battery tester to the earth cable carrier crimped to the outlet of the battery charge status control unit (5) (at "a") (The "MIDTRONICS" tester if connected on the lug "a" activates the battery charge status control unit and the current consumed by the latter results in a tester diagnosis error) . Connect the black clip of the battery tester at the terminal "b" entering the battery charge status control unit (5).

N.B. : The electrical resistance of the battery charge status control unit (5) influences the measuring action of the battery tester. In this case the measurement by the battery tester could cause you to perform a battery recharge needlessly.

7. Location of measurement points

Select the bleed menu: "Location test".
