Chapter 1 III - DESIGN OF THE XSARA PICASSO AND XSARA MULTIPLEXED NETWORK XSARA PICASSO design 8080 8410 8415 * 0004 8500 8600 * XSARA design 8410 0004 8415 Key: The dotted lines represent a connection used only by the diagnostic function.
Page 17
Chapter 1 IV - THE VAN PROTOCOL The network consists of 2 wires, called: • Data, • Data B (Data bar). The Data B wire is so called because the voltage at its terminals is always opposite to the voltage on Data. Data Data B Two current levels are used to encode two distinct logical states.
Page 18
Chapter 1 Format of the communications message (frame): Only the rate of the Data line is represented as the Data B line is the opposite. A message in a multiplexed device is unambiguous. It is therefore not possible for an error to occur regarding the recipient nor the nature of the command to be performed.

Chapter 1 B - DISPLAY The display is incorporated into the air conditioning control panel. It is used for: • viewing the user choices and system status, • providing feedback about the actions performed to the user, • warning of any system faults. Brightness of the LEDs (1) The displays have a fixed brightness by day which can be dimmed at night.
Chapter 2 OPERATING PRINCIPLE COMPRESSOR MANAGEMENT FUNCTION The compressor is controlled by the BSI. It takes into account: • the compressor engaging request (A/C), • the icing up safety of the evaporator, • the air conditioning pressure, • the engine speed, •...

Chapter 2 B - EVAPORATOR ICING UP SAFETY DEVICE The evaporator icing up safety device defines the rules for engaging and cutting off the compressor depending on: • evaporator temperature, • external temperature. Evaporator temperature as a function of external temperature: -6°C 10°C 20°C...
Page 179
Chapter 2 C - AIR CONDITIONING PRESSURE SAFETY DEVICE The BSI cuts off the compressor in the event of: • high pressure (risk of damaging the circuit), • low pressure (probability of a leak). Detection is performed by a 4 level pressure switch. To prevent the compressor from being successively engaged, waiting times are set: COMPRESSOR CUT-OFF...
Page 181
Chapter 2 E - ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE COMPRESSOR CONTROL If the engine coolant temperature is too high, compressor operation is controlled by the BSI. The compressor is forbidden for a coolant temperature above 112°C. It is authorised to re-engage if the coolant temperature is below 109°C and if the previous cut-off due to coolant temperature was more than one minute ago.
Chapter 2 II - ADDITIONAL ELECTRIC HEATING FUNCTION Function: For DW10TD engines (HDi), heating resistors are placed in the engine cooling circuit. This allows a sufficient heat source to be obtained to operate the air conditioning, despite the slow rise in engine temperature. Functional description: The engine ECU requests the additional heating depending on the following information:...
Chapter 2 IV - DOWNGRADED MODES Faults in the components below lead to a system operation which, depending on the case: • bypasses the faulty component, • prevents certain functions. An ECU considers there to be a fault when the value transmitted by one of the components is outside fixed limits.

Chapter 1 III - OPERATION A - SYSTEM COMPONENTS Transponder: An analogue unit, located in the top of the ignition switch, sends a signal to the ignition key. This is fitted with a responder label which disrupts the signal emitted by the analogue unit. The modification to the signal allows the analogue unit to transmit the key code (responder label) to the BSI.

Chapter 2 OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF THE FACTORY FITTED ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM FOREWORD Note: The factory fitted alarm is only available on the XSARA. The role of this function is to protect the vehicle against intrusions. Protection is provided by Perimetric and Volumetric monitoring. This alarm is not multiplexed as it is inside the BSI.

Chapter 2 III - OPERATION A - OPERATING MODES The anti-intrusion alarm has 3 operating modes: MODE DESCRIPTION Armed mode Vehicle protected Disarmed mode Vehicle not protected Triggered mode Signalling an intrusion B - ARMING / DISARMING Arming The vehicle is protected only when it is deadlocked using the HF remote control.
Page 200
Chapter 2 C - PERIMETRIC PROTECTION This protection monitors: • the doors, • the boot, • the bonnet, • the + accessories position, • the + ignition on position, • the + battery position. Perimetric protection is active 5 seconds after the alarm is armed. Case of one of the doors or boot or bonnet not correctly closed •...
Page 201
Chapter 2 D - VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION This protection monitors the volume of the passenger compartment. It is active 45 seconds after the alarm is armed. 1 - Triggering volumetric protection: An intrusion is detected by the ultra sound sensor module. All significant variations in passenger compartment volume trigger the alarm.
Chapter 3 OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF THE AFTER-SALES FITTED ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM FOREWORD The aim of this function is to be able to incorporate an after-sales anti-theft alarm into the vehicle (Xsara or Xsara Picasso). The BSI communicates with the alarm unit via the VAN network. This alarm offers the same protection as the factory fitted alarm (optional on the XSARA).
Chapter 3 III - OPERATION A - PERIMETRIC PROTECTION The information about the status of the doors, bonnet and boot is acquired by the interior lamp control: if, after a time, the interior lamp or lamps are extinguished, the vehicle is considered to be closed. If the bulbs in the interior lamps are missing or faulty, the alarm is not affected: the information is taken from the command sent by the BSI.
Page 206
Chapter 3 2 - Arming The LED flashes during the volumetric protection timer at a frequency of 25 Hz, then at a frequency of 1 Hz until it is disarmed. If volumetric protection is cancelled, the LED flashes immediately at a frequency of 1 Hz until it is activated.
Page 207
Chapter 3 D - SPECIFIC OPERATIONS IMPORTANT: When fitting an after-sales alarm, the BSI must be programmed to prevent the indicators from being controlled when the doors are locked/unlocked. In this case, the alarm controls signalling. Opening the vehicle with the key: If the vehicle is opened using the key, the alarm is triggered.
Page 208
Chapter 3 Fitting / removing the alarm: When fitting the alarm, disconnect the battery. After the operation: • Reconnect the battery, • Enter the "EMERGENCY CODE", • Switch on the ignition for 10 seconds, • Switch off the ignition. The siren is activated. IMPORTANT: When working on the alarm, the battery must be disconnected throughout the operation.

Chapter 2 RADIO OPERATING PRINCIPLE SWITCHING ON / OFF A - GENERAL DESCRIPTION The radio is switched on and off by: • pressing the "ON" button on the front of the radio, • switching the ignition on or off*, • inserting a CD when the + accessories is present (RD2). * If the radio was on before the ignition was switched off (vehicle stationary), the radio will work when the + accessories reappears.
Chapter 2 II - RADIO ANTI-THEFT FUNCTION The radios do not have an LED which flashes when the vehicle is stationary. The anti-theft protection device is provided in the form of an identification code. It consists of the last 8 characters of the VIN, memorised by the BSI and the radio. Note: Radios are supplied by the Replacement Parts Division with a memorised VIN code.
Chapter 2 THERMAL PROTECTION The radios have dynamic maximum volume limitation strategies, which depend on the rise in temperature in the units. Note: RD2 radios limit the volume without altering the volume displayed on the screen. RB2 radios only display the change in volume if the user performs a voluntary action (reduction in maximum volume from 30 to xx).
